Part of the JCB Repair Manuals.
This is the JCB operator's manual for the 505-20 Loadall, the rough terrain variable reach truck (telehandler) built with the Kohler T4F engine, publication 9831/5117. The 280-page manual has a searchable text layer and covers the 505-20 along with the 505-20TC and 505-20E variants.
It takes you through walk-around inspection, operating safety and risk assessment, boom and load handling, and fitting attachments through the tool carrier and quick-fit carriage. Cleaning, damage checks, and putting the machine into and out of storage are covered as well.
The maintenance and technical data chapters hold the figures owners reference most: fuel, engine oil, and hydraulic tank capacities, ROPS/FOPS and wheel nut torques, tyre pressures for each fitment, boom performance dimensions, and noise and vibration data. It is written for the operator doing daily checks and routine service, keeping inspection and specification in one document.
