JCB wrote this factory service manual for its own dealer technicians. It covers the 506-36, 507-42, 509-42, 510-56 and 512-56 Loadall, starting with safety procedures, maintenance positions and serial number checks and ending with the hydraulic and electrical schematics.
Every hour a Loadall sits with a warning light on is lifting work that doesn't get done. This book covers JCB Servicemaster diagnostics and the ECM fault code table. It also shows how to discharge the accumulator before you open a hydraulic line, and gives the lift arm torque table. Engine, fuel, cooling, brakes, steering, driveline and cab HVAC each have their own section.
You buy it once and keep it for as long as you run this machine.
