JCB 406–409 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 409 intermittent drive loss or complete failure to move forward and reverse p. 259
Inspect the transmission wiring harness for hacked repairs. Check the speed transducer position on page 259. Adjust the sensor to maintain a nominal 2 to 3 mm gap. If the gap is correct, perform a pump flow test to identify internal leaks.
Manual Section: TransmissionLoader arms lift slowly or lack bucket breakout force under heavy loads p. 255
Perform a pump flow test as detailed on page 255. A low reading indicates a worn pump or blocked suction strainer. Verify the main relief valve operating pressure reaches 207 bar (3000 lbf/in2) for 408 and 409 models before tearing down the pump.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System Pressure TestingEngine requires frequent oil top-ups or throws low pressure warnings at idle p. 113
Drain the crankcase and replace the filter. For 408 and 409 models (1004-4LR2 engine), fill with 10.7 litres (2.4 UK gal) of oil. Reset your maintenance schedule to perform this oil and filter change every 250 Hours according to page 113.
Manual Section: EngineParking brake fails to hold the machine on steep inclines or feels loose p. 306
Adjust the parking brake cable tension. Tighten the linkage until the lever fully engages at exactly 3 to 5 notches as specified on page 306. Test the holding force on a grade. If it slips, inspect the brake shoes for fluid contamination.
Manual Section: BrakesSyncro shuttle transmission emits a loud whining noise or overheats during operation p. 143
Check the troubleshooting chart on page 143. Start at check 1 for noise issues or check 4 for overheating. Verify the gearbox syncro shuttle capacity is at exactly 19 litres (4.2 UK gal). Drain and inspect the fluid for metal shavings.
Manual Section: Syncro Shuttle Transmission - Fault FindingFrequently Asked Questions
How do I clear hydraulic pressure warning on a JCB 407?
If hydraulic pressures are incorrect, the manual suggests renewing the accumulator charge valve, as no adjustment is possible for it. This action is expected to clear the hydraulic pressure warning. For specific pressure testing procedures, refer to page 8/7-1.
How to reset transmission warning on JCB 408
The manual describes fault-finding procedures for transmission issues, where resolving the underlying fault is the method to clear the warning. For example, if the transmission is noisy, checks are performed on the pump, clutch pressure, or alignment, and parts are renewed or adjusted as needed. There is no explicit "reset transmission warning" procedure.
What are the replacement specifications for Wiring harness / repaired wiring sections?
The manual provides detailed wiring lists for various harnesses, specifying wire number, size (e.g., 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 3.00, 44/3, 28/3, 21/3, 14/3), color, source, and destination for different machine models and serial numbers. However, it does not provide general replacement specifications for entire wiring harnesses or repaired sections beyond these individual wire details.
What are the replacement specifications for Sensors and switches in the drive/control circuit?
The manual lists various sensors and switches within the drive/control circuit, such as the Speed Transducer, Water Temperature Gauge Sender, and Air Filter Switch. For faulty components, the general instruction is to replace them. Some components, like the speed transducer, have specific adjustment requirements, such as a nominal 2 to 3 mm gap.
