JCB Micro & variants Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB Micro excavator engine cranks over fine after winter storage but will not start or fire p. 134
Bleed the fuel system to remove trapped air. Inspect the fuel filter and sediment bowl. Verify the battery maintains 12 V during cranking, as detailed on page 134. If the solenoid lacks power, check the main 40 Amp fuse on page 72.
Manual Section: ElectricsBoom lift is slow and main hydraulic functions feel weak and jerky under heavy load p. 182
Test the boom main relief valve pressure and verify it reaches the pressure shown in the Technical Data section of the manual. Inspect all cylinder seals for leaks. Drain and refill the hydraulic tank with the hydraulic fluid quantity specified in the Fluids, Lubricants and Capacities section.
Manual Section: HydraulicsRubber tracks constantly derail on uneven ground and feel excessively loose during turning maneuvers p. 288
Measure track tension at the center roller and adjust to the tension value specified in the Tracks section of the manual. Inspect the idler and lower rollers for excessive wear. Refill each track gearbox with 0.3 litres of oil as noted on page 54.
Manual Section: TracksBattery warning light stays illuminated while running and engine cooling fan turns slower than normal p. 154
Inspect the alternator drive belt for glazing or cracking. Apply a force of 10 N (1 kgf, 0.51 lbf) midway between the pulleys, as specified on page 154. Adjust the tensioner until the belt slack measures exactly 5 mm (0.2 in.) according to page 77.
Manual Section: ElectricsFrequently Asked Questions
What are the torque specs for JCB Micro/Micro Plus track rollers or undercarriage bolts?
For track roller assembly, torque the screws to 78 - 90 Nm (57 - 67 lbf ft). For idler wheel assembly, torque the bolts to 98 Nm (72 lbf ft). These values are found in the 'Track Rollers - Micro Plus' and 'Idler and Recoil Unit - Micro Plus' sections respectively.
What are the replacement specifications for track gearbox oil?
The track gearbox requires 0.3 litres (0.07 US gallons) of JCB SAE 30 Engine Oil (Not Multigrade). The international specification for this oil is API CD/SF, MIL-L-46152, MIL-L-2104D. This information is detailed in the 'Fluids, Lubricants and Capacities' section on page 54.
What are the replacement specifications for engine oil filter canister?
When replacing the engine oil filter canister, unscrew the old canister and clean the filter mounting face. Smear the seal on the new filter canister with oil and screw it in hand tight, then an additional one quarter turn. The manual does not provide a specific part number for the filter canister.
How do you fix JCB Micro excavator engine cranks over fine after winter storage but will not start or fire?
Bleed the fuel system to remove trapped air. Inspect the fuel filter and sediment bowl. Verify the battery maintains 12 V during cranking, as detailed on page 134. If the solenoid lacks power, check the main 40 Amp fuse on page 72.
