JCB 506–514 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 506-36 engine stalls unexpectedly under load or refuses to restart after changing the fuel filter p. 117
Inspect the fuel lines for loose connections that allow air to enter the system. Drain any water from the separator bowl and fill the tank to its 35 US Gal (132 Liters) capacity as noted on page 117. Operate the electrically operated fuel lift pump to bleed the system before starting the engine, as described in the 'Bleeding the System' section on page 172.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceTelescopic boom extension feels jerky or clunks loudly when extending under heavy load p. 200
Measure the boom wear pad vertical clearance from outer to intermediate sections. Verify the gap does not exceed the 3.0mm (0.12in) limit shown on page 200. Clean debris from the boom tracks and apply approved grease to all sliding surfaces.
Manual Section: SpecificationsCab structure rattles excessively over rough terrain or shows visible shifting around the mounting points p. 134
Inspect the cab mounts for missing hardware or cracked brackets. Torque the ROPS/FOPS mounting bolts to 205 Nm (151 lbf ft) as specified on page 134. Replace any damaged isolation mounts immediately before operating the machine on uneven ground.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceEngine coolant temperature gauge spikes into the red zone during heavy lifting or continuous operation p. 118
Check the coolant reservoir level before starting the engine. Ensure the mixture provides antifreeze protection down to -40 °C (-39 °F) as noted on page 118. Clean the exterior radiator fins of heavy dust and debris using low pressure compressed air.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for wheel lug nuts on JCB 507-42?
For JCB 507-42, the wheel nuts should be tightened to a torque of 680 Nm (500 lbf ft) for both front and rear wheels. It is recommended to check the wheel nut torques every two hours on new machines or whenever a wheel has been removed, until they remain correct.
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic lines and hoses?
Replacement hydraulic hoses must be of the same size and standard as the original. It is crucial to inspect hoses regularly for damage, chafing, ballooning, kinks, or displaced end fittings, and not to use the machine if any damage is found. Always ensure hoses do not touch hot parts or parts that can rub, and use hose clamps to support long runs.
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic oil and filters?
The hydraulic tank capacity is 34 US Gal (128 Liters), and JCB Multigrade Hydraulic Fluid (Part Number 4002/2020, Container Size 20 liters) is recommended. The hydraulic oil filter should be changed every 500 hours, and the pilot filter (if fitted) also every 500 hours. When replacing the filter element, ensure a genuine JCB filter is used to prevent system damage, and fit new seals H and J.
