JCB 412S, 414S Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 412S loader loses lifting power and hydraulic pressure warning light flashes during heavy operation p. 29
Stop the machine and review the warning lights on page 29. Check the hydraulic oil level in the sight glass. If fluid is adequate, replace the hydraulic oil filter. The standard replacement interval is 250 Hr. Torque the filter element nuts to 7 Nm (5 lbf ft).
Manual Section: Display PanelEngine temperature indicator rises rapidly when operating continuously in severely dusty mining environments p. 46
Park safely and shut off the engine. Inspect the radiator grille for debris blockages. Check the outer air cleaner element for severe clogging. In standard conditions, replace the outer element every 250 Hr as noted on page 46, but change it more frequently in extreme dust.
Manual Section: MaintenanceLoader bucket fails to lock securely into position when engaging the quick hitch mechanism p. 84
Lower the loader arms to the ground. Inspect the hydraulic locking pin and quick release couplings for trapped dirt. Maintain the standard 700-750 RPM idle speed. Follow the attachment engagement procedures on page 84 to verify the locking pins fully extend before lifting any loads.
Manual Section: Optional AttachmentsMachine creeps forward slowly when parked on an incline with the parking brake fully engaged p. 56
Secure the machine with wheel chocks on level ground. Adjust the parking brake cable mechanism. Turn the adjuster exactly half a turn as instructed on page 56. Test the holding power on a safe incline before returning the machine to active site operation.
Manual Section: Adjusting the Parking BrakeFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the JCB 412S/414S steering system?
The manual indicates that if the main hydraulic system pressure for the steering fails, a "STEERING PRESS" warning will light up, and the machine should be stopped to rectify the fault. However, it does not provide a specific procedure for resetting the steering system.
What are the torque specs for JCB 412S/414S wheel loader fasteners?
For wheel nuts, the torque for 412S is 500 Nm (369 lbf ft) and for 414S is 600 Nm (443 lbf ft). ROPS/FOPS mounting bolts should be tightened to 330 Nm (243 lbf ft). The engine oil drain plug should be tightened to 34 Nm (25 lbf ft), and hydraulic filter cover plate nuts to 7 Nm (5 lbf ft). Axle fill/level plugs and drain plugs should be tightened to 85 Nm (60 lbf ft).
What do JCB 412S/414S error codes mean?
The display panel shows various warning messages such as "BATTERY LOW" for low battery voltage, "ALTERNATOR" for charging circuit failure, "ENG OIL PRESS" for low engine oil pressure, and "BRAKE FAILURE" for low brake system pressure. Other messages include "TRANS OIL PRESS" for transmission oil pressure, "HYD OIL TEMP" for high hydraulic fluid temperature, "COOLANT TEMP" for high engine coolant temperature, and "AIR FLTER BLKD" for a clogged air filter. "SERVICE REQD" indicates a service is due, and "IN GEAR" or "PARK BRAKE" appear if the transmission is not in neutral or the parking brake is engaged during start inhibit.
How do I reset fault codes on a JCB 412S/414S?
In an emergency, the "MANUAL" button can be pressed to reset the automatic engine shut-down counter for 30 seconds, allowing the machine to be moved. The "START INHIBIT" message can also be overridden by pushing the "MANUAL" button once. For the "SERVICE REQD" message, it is reset when data is downloaded by your JCB distributor.
What is the hydraulic pressure spec on a JCB 412S/414S?
When changing the servo filter element, a 0-40 bar (0-600 lbf/in²) pressure gauge should be fitted to the servo pressure test point P to ensure all residual hydraulic pressure is vented from the system before removal.
