JCB 8085, JCB 8085 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB 8085 engine cranks but will not start after sitting or repeated attempts.
Drain and clean the fuel pre-filter sediment bowl. Replace the fuel filter element if it exceeds the 500-hour change interval noted on page 61. Bleed the fuel system completely to remove trapped air. Inspect fuel hoses and replace any that show signs of deterioration or cracking.
Manual Section: Engine TroubleshootingHydraulic performance is weak or erratic during heavy digging and boom swing operations. p. 349
Test the main relief valve pressure and verify it reaches 300 bar (4350 lbf/in2) as specified on page 349. If system pressure drops, check the servo relief pressure is 35 bar (508 lbf/in2) per page 351. Inspect the hydraulic oil level and top up with clean fluid.
Manual Section: HydraulicsRubber track tension is loose and running gear operation feels rough on hard ground. p. 99
Measure the rubber track tension on hard ground and adjust the sag to the value specified in the Routine Maintenance section. Inspect the track shoe mounting bolts for wear and torque them to the specification listed in the manual. Add grease to the tension cylinder.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceElectrical accessories fail to operate and the starter motor turns over slowly during cold mornings. p. 222
Test the battery charging voltage and verify it stays within the limits specified in the Electrics section. Check the battery electrolyte level and top up if needed. Clean the battery terminals and test the starting circuit for high resistance.
Manual Section: ElectricsFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the AMS on a JCB 8085?
To reset the machine settings, access the Calibration Menu by pressing the SET and MODE buttons together for 20 seconds. Select "DEFAULT SET" to set all machine settings back to their default values. This action confirms that the machine settings should be reset.
What do the JCB 8085 diagnostic error codes mean?
The JCB 8085 diagnostic error codes are organized by type, with open circuit errors starting with 1XX numbers and short circuit errors with 2XX numbers. The specific XX number depends on the function with the error. For example, if the horn (function 15) has an open circuit fault, the code is Err# 115; a short circuit gives Err# 215. Refer to the manual for the complete function-to-number mapping.
How do I clear a fault code on a JCB 8085?
Fault codes on the JCB 8085 clear automatically once the underlying error is removed. Pressing the "ACK" button on the EMS panel will acknowledge warnings, clearing the message and silencing the buzzer, but it will not extinguish warning lamps or clear the fault code itself.
What are the hydraulic pressure settings for a JCB 8085?
The hydraulic pressure settings for the JCB 8085 are: Boom/Arm/Bucket at 300 bar (4351 lbf/in²), Swing Circuit at 226 bar (3278 lbf/in²), Travel Circuit at 300 bar (4351 lbf/in²), and Pilot Control at 40 bar (580 lbf/in²). The Servo Pressure Relief Valve is set to 35 bar (508 lbf/in²), with a tightening torque of 60 Nm (6.1 kgf/m, 44 lbf/ft).
