JCB 8052, 8060 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 8052 and 8060 track drive issues or abnormal undercarriage wear after setup or storage p. 285
Inspect track setup on page 285. Adjust the grease cylinder to achieve a track tension clearance of 85mm (3.4in) for rubber tracks. Clean any debris from the recoil mechanism. Test the machine travel and recheck the measurement to confirm correct tension.
Manual Section: Track System Maintenance and RepairTiming case cover damage or fan belt related overheating during normal operation p. 92
Check the fan belt tension on page 92. Apply 49Nm (11lbf - 5kgf) force midway between the pulleys. Adjust the alternator bracket until you measure a 7mm (0.28in.) deflection for the 8052 model. Torque the alternator shaft nut to 70-90 Nm.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceHydraulic performance is weak or inconsistent with visible leaks around the valve block p. 72
Verify the hydraulic oil tank is filled to its 70 Litres capacity. Inspect all line connections and fittings for leaks. Torque the 1/8-inch BSP hydraulic adaptors to 14 Nm (10 lbf ft) as specified on page 72. Clean the area thoroughly.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System - General Fault DiagnosisEngine oil pressure warning light stays illuminated during cranking or the initial startup sequence p. 68
Verify the engine oil level before starting. Fill the 8060 model to its full 9.6 Litres capacity as noted on page 68. Inspect the pressure switch wiring and test the sender circuit. Drain and replace the oil if heavy contamination is suspected.
