Part of the JCB Repair Manuals.
This is the full JCB factory service manual (publication 9813-3900) for the 525-60 Loadall, JCB's compact 2.5-tonne, 6-metre rough-terrain telescopic handler. Running to 1,894 pages, it is the dealer-level workshop manual for the current Kohler-engined machine, built around the 55 kW Kohler KDI 2.5-litre Tier 4 Final diesel. It carries the diagnostics, removal and refit procedures, boom and lift-arm wear-pad clearances, torque figures and the full hydraulic and electrical schematic circuits for every system: engine, fuel and cooling, the transmission and driveline, the load-handling hydraulics, brakes, electrics, the quickhitch and attachments, and the operator station. It is the manual you need to fault-find a boom, drive or electrical problem properly rather than swap parts at it.
