JCB 714, 718, 714 Dumper Truck, 718 Dumper Truck Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 718 Articulated Dump Truck loses drive or shifts erratically under heavy loads on steep grades
Check transmission error codes. Drain and fill the transmission with exactly 37 litres (8.1 UK gal) of approved oil. Inspect the propshaft connections and torque the flange bolts to 55 - 65 Nm (40 - 47.5 lbf ft) as shown on page 300.
Manual Section: Transmission Error Codes (Functional Testing)Service brakes feel spongy and low pressure warning switch triggers during daily operation p. 302
Test the brake circuit pressure. Verify the pressure regulator cut-in setting reads 140 bar (2030 lbf/in2) on page 302. Inspect the service brake pads and replace them immediately if thickness drops below the 2 mm (0.08 in) minimum limit noted on page 322.
Manual Section: BrakesSteering cylinder response feels heavy or delayed when articulating the frame completely p. 335
Inspect the steering circuit for internal leaks. Secure the hydraulic steering unit mounting bolts to 45 Nm (33 lbf ft) as directed on page 335. Check the cap screws and torque them to 31 Nm (22.9 lbf ft) according to the specifications on page 339.
Manual Section: SteeringSuspension fails to adjust to load changes and triggers an active S1 error code p. 383
Read the fault codes on page 383. Verify the S1 code indicates no signal is detected from the self levelling suspension switches to the EMS. Inspect the switch wiring harnesses for damage and test the self-levelling suspension switches before replacing the main suspension valve.
Manual Section: Hydraulic Suspension Fault CodesFrequently Asked Questions
What do JCB 714/718 error codes mean?
The manual provides detailed tables explaining the meaning of various fault codes for both the transmission system and the hydraulic suspension system. For instance, a transmission fault code 11 indicates a 'Logical error at gear range signal', while a suspension fault code S1 signifies 'No signal is detected from the self levelling suspension switches to the EMS'. Each entry includes the fault detected, possible causes, and recommended actions to address the issue.
What are the replacement specifications for hydraulic filters?
The hydraulic filter for the return line has a filtration size of 10 Micron. The manual provides a procedure for changing the hydraulic filter element, which can be found on page 81.
What are the replacement specifications for fuel filters?
The manual provides a procedure for changing the fuel filter element on page 71. It also notes that new filter elements should be filled with fuel before fitting to assist with priming. No specific filtration size is mentioned.
How do you fix JCB 718 Articulated Dump Truck loses drive or shifts erratically under heavy loads on steep grades?
