Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the load control system on a JCB 527-55?
The Longitudinal Load Moment Indicator (LLMI) system will reset to its default settings (full volume and full brightness) when the starter key is switched to the off position. Additionally, if the system is in Emergency Override mode, it will return to Load Control mode when the machine is turned off and on again at the starter switch.
What does the LCS/load control warning mean on a JCB 527-55?
On a JCB 527-55, the Longitudinal Load Moment Indicator (LLMI) uses LEDs to indicate machine stability. An amber LED (Lit) signifies approaching machine stability limits and hydraulic functions slowing down. An amber LED (Flashing) indicates that Extend and Lower functions are disabled. A red LED illuminates and an audible warning activates when the load exceeds the maximum working limit, indicating the machine is at its limit of stability.
How do I clear error codes on a JCB 524-50?
If a fault code is displayed on the LLMI system, the audible alarm and fault code display will cancel after 10 seconds, but all LEDs will flash continuously as long as the fault remains. To attempt to clear the fault code, switch the starter key off and on again. If the fault clears, the display will return to normal; otherwise, contact your JCB distributor.
What are the torque specs for JCB 524-50 wheel nuts?
For the JCB 524-50, the wheel nut torque specifications are 680 Nm (500 lbf ft) for both the front and rear wheels. It is important to check these torques every two hours on new machines or whenever a wheel has been removed, until they remain correct.
