JCB Fastrac 8280, 8310 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB Fastrac 8280 engine cranks but will not start after maintenance or winter storage p. 121
Inspect the fuel filter and sediment bowl for air ingress. Replace the filter element and tighten it hand-tight only as outlined on page 121. Bleed the fuel system completely to remove trapped air. Verify the injector pump solenoid receives voltage before attempting another start.
Manual Section: MaintenanceLow engine oil pressure warning light remains illuminated during initial cranking and start-up p. 112
Verify the engine oil level reaches the maximum mark on the dipstick. Total capacity is 24 Litres (5.3 UK Gal). Crank the engine without starting until the warning light goes out. Check page 112 to confirm the low pressure light duration does not exceed 15 seconds.
Manual Section: MaintenanceEngine overheating and rapid coolant loss during heavy field operations or transport p. 123
Inspect the radiator matrix for debris and clean the blocked drain passages. Test the compressor belt tension. Adjust the pulley until you measure exactly 10 mm (0.4 in) of compressor belt slack as shown on page 123. Top off coolant and inspect hoses for leaks.
Manual Section: MaintenanceDriveline malfunction or erratic shifting behavior after reaching scheduled service intervals p. 484
Check transmission fluid level and fill to the 75 Litres (16.5 UK Gal) capacity if empty. Connect a gauge to test the transmission CVT circuit pressure. Refer to the pressure specifications in the Transmission section (page 484) for the correct hydrostatic angle servo and range shift pressure values.
