JCB ROBOT 150, 165 Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB Robot 150 hydraulic charge pressure warning light illuminates on dashboard during normal operation p. 27
Check hydraulic fluid level using the sight glass. Fill the reservoir to the correct level, ensuring total system capacity does not exceed 65 litres as listed on page 78. Inspect all hydraulic hoses and quick release couplings for visible leaks before starting the machine. Also, check the hydraulic oil filter as a blocked filter is a possible cause of low hydraulic charge pressure, as described in the Hydraulic System section.
Manual Section: Warning IndicatorsEngine water temperature runs high and alternator warning light flashes intermittently while under load p. 66
Inspect the engine alternator belt for excessive wear or glazing. Adjust the tension until the alternator belt slack measures exactly 10 mm, following the procedure on page 66. Verify the cooling system is full with 11 litres of proper coolant mixture.
Manual Section: Engine Alternator Belt - Checking and Adjusting TensionMachine experiences poor traction and wheel lug nuts feel loose during daily walkaround inspection p. 77
Verify all wheel hardware is tight before operating the loader. Torque all wheel bolts to 405 Nm using a calibrated torque wrench, as specified on page 77. Inspect the drive motor mounting points for any signs of movement or component wear.
Manual Section: MaintenanceEngine hesitates or stalls out completely after filling the fuel tank with fresh diesel p. 69
Drain accumulated water from the fuel filter housing. Replace the fuel filter element if the issue persists. Tighten the fuel filter bolt to 8-11 Nm to prevent air leaks, referencing the torque values on page 69. Prime the fuel system.
Manual Section: Fuel System - Draining the Fuel Filter / Changing the Fuel Filter ElementFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the security / immobilizer on a JCB Robot 165?
To deactivate the JCB Immobiliser, insert the Electronic key into the receptacle and remove it within 10 to 15 seconds. If the Immobiliser key remains inserted for longer than 15 seconds, the L.E.D. will flash, indicating activation; in this case, remove the key, then re-insert and remove it within 5 to 10 seconds to deactivate.
