JCB 446, 456 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 446 hydraulic system loses power after short use and bucket won't lift reliably.
Check the troubleshooting procedures. Verify the hydraulic fluid level on the sight glass before adding oil. Ensure the total hydraulic system capacity is maintained at 215 litres. Inspect the cooling pack for debris and confirm the lifting load does not exceed the 1000 kg maximum capacity.
Manual Section: OperationWheel nuts loosen after heavy operation and require frequent tightening during routine maintenance checks. p. 120
Inspect the wheel studs for damage and thread wear. Torque all wheel nuts to exactly 600 Nm as specified on page 120. Check the front tyre pressure is set to 3.5 Bar. Repeat this torque check daily during the first week of operation to seat the rims properly.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceEngine overheats quickly and dashboard warning indicator flashes steadily during normal daily operation. p. 78
Inspect the cooling pack for oil or mud buildup. Verify the engine oil level is correct, keeping the total capacity at 18.9 litres as noted on page 78. Clean the radiator fins carefully with compressed air. Drain any water from the primary fuel filter to prevent stalling.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceDifferential fluid leaks around the fill plug and drips below the machine. p. 109
Clean the differential housing completely to locate the exact source of the leak. Verify the oil level is correct, then torque the differential oil fill and level plug to 85 Nm as directed on page 109. Wipe away any excess fluid to monitor for future seepage.
