Part of the JCB Repair Manuals.
This is the JCB service manual for the 802.7, 803, and 804 mini excavators, publication 9803/3145, covering machines powered by the KE 103-15 IDI engine. The 250-page manual has a searchable text layer and includes the Plus and Super variants.
It is organised by system for workshop use: general information, routine maintenance, body and framework, electrics, controls, hydraulics, gearboxes, track and running gear, and engine. Each coded section starts with technical data and contents, then covers removal, dismantling, and reassembly.
Expect the figures a repair calls for: fluid capacities and torque settings, hydraulic circuit descriptions and relief valve pressures, fuel and hydraulic filter intervals, battery capacities and specific gravity, track tension clearances, and engine oil pressure and coolant data. It is the detailed reference for servicing the servo-controlled excavator, its gearboxes, and the undercarriage.
