Manual Section: Safety EquipmentFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the JCB telehandler fault code?
Switch the starter key off and on again. If the fault code does not clear after this, contact your JCB distributor for assistance. The manual does not recommend attempting to repair electrical fault codes yourself.
How do I reset the service interval on a JCB 535-125 HiViz?
To reset the service interval indicator, switch on the ignition and navigate to the Time Until Service screen using the Information button. Push and hold the Information button for three seconds until the word RESET flashes once, then release. See page 66 for the complete reset procedure.
What does the JCB LMI / overload warning mean?
The Load Moment Indicator (LMI) warns you when the machine is approaching its maximum working limit and could tip forward. When the load exceeds that limit, the red LED C illuminates and an audible warning activates. Reduce the load or retract the boom to return to a safe working range. See pages 83-107 for full LMI and load control system details.
How do I clear the transmission fault on a JCB Loadall?
If a transmission fault code appears, switch the starter key off and on again. If the fault does not clear, contact your JCB distributor. The manual on page 92 covers fault code display and the key-cycle reset procedure.
How to reset JCB 535-95 telehandler warning light
Press the Information switch to acknowledge the warning, which stops the audible alarm. For any warning that activates while the engine is running, stop the machine as soon as it is safe to do so and identify the underlying fault before continuing operation. See pages 54-70 for the full instrument panel and warning indicator reference.
