JCB JZ 70 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB JZ 70 excavator cranks over well after sitting but engine refuses to start and run. p. 55
Bleed the fuel system to remove trapped air. Drain the water separator, a task required at least every 50 hours as noted on page 55. Check the injector opening pressure is at 185 bar. Verify static injection timing is 14° BTDC if the pump was removed.
Manual Section: EngineWeak digging force and slow swing response when operating under heavy load conditions. p. 191
Inspect the hydraulic tank level and ensure it holds the required 92 litres capacity. Test the main relief pressure on page 191 to verify it reaches 280 bar (4060 lbf/in2). Clean the clogged tank strainer and replace filters if dirt is bypassing the relief valve.
Manual Section: Hydraulic System General FaultsEngine coolant temperature gauge spikes and triggers high heat warning alarm during operation. p. 54
Clean the radiator matrix to remove dust buildup. Check the fan belt tension on page 54 and adjust it to exactly 10 mm (0.4 in) of slack. Verify the coolant temperature warning threshold triggers correctly at 98 °C as shown on page 109.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceTrack tension is loose and machine refuses to travel straight across flat ground. p. 7
Drain and refill the track gearboxes with 2 x 1.7 litres of oil, required every 100 operating hours. Torque the travel motor bolts to 268-312 Nm as specified on page 7. Verify the upper carrier roller bolts are torqued to 267~312 Nm.
Manual Section: Traction Motor/Reduction Gear Fault FindingMonitor panel goes blank and horn fails to sound after machine sits idle. p. 82
Test the battery specific gravity to ensure it reads 1.270-1.290 at full charge, detailed on page 82. Top off the battery electrolyte level so it sits 6 mm (0.25 in) above the plates. Clean all terminal connections and verify the no-load voltage is at least 12.4 volts.
Manual Section: ElectricsFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the service light on a JCB JZ70?
To reset the service light on a JCB JZ70, especially for 500-hour service intervals, the LED can only be reset by a dealer entering its service code number via the EMS' SET + MODE menu. The procedure involves pressing the "Set" and "Mode" buttons on the EMS simultaneously for 20 seconds, navigating to the "Service off" routine, and entering a four-digit dealer code using the "Up/Down" keys and the "Ack" button. This action cancels the service warning and records the service event.
How do I reset the tracking/two-speed mode on a JCB JZ70?
The tracking/two-speed mode on a JCB JZ70 is controlled by a foot-operated speed change switch. When this switch is operated, the high speed travel solenoid is energized, and the EMS receives a ground on I/p 30, illuminating the tortoise icon. Pressing the switch again de-energizes the solenoid, extinguishing the tortoise icon and illuminating the hare icon, effectively resetting the machine between high-speed and normal travel modes.
What are the torque specs for JCB JZ70 track motor bolts?
The torque specification for the Travel Motor bolts (M16) on a JCB JZ70 is 268-312 Nm (27.2-31.8 kgf m or 197-230 lbf ft). It is recommended to use JCB Threadlocker and Sealer (High Strength) on these bolts and to check and tighten them after the first 50 hours of the running-in stage and every 250 hours thereafter.
What are the replacement specifications for fuel filter?
When changing the fuel filter element, the manual instructs to smear the new filter element sealing ring with fuel oil and hand tighten onto the filter head. Then, use a chain wrench to tighten by a further 2/3 turn. The manual does not provide a specific part number or detailed technical specifications for the filter element itself, only the installation procedure.
