JCB ROBOT 150 & variants Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB Robot 150 hydraulic performance drops, machine moves slowly, and drive stops responding under heavy load p. 19
Check fluid levels and top up the hydraulic tank to the level specified in the Routine Maintenance section. Inspect lines for chafed covers or ballooning as detailed on page 19. Torque the main hydraulic pump connections to 45 - 50 Nm. Replace the high pressure spin-on filter if it is clogged.
Manual Section: Care and SafetyLeft or right wheel drive motor develops a severe hiccup, loss of drive, or intermittent travel failure p. 186
Inspect the hydrostatic transmission troubleshooting guide. Verify the drive motor hydraulic connections are secure and torque them to 44-50 Nm. Check the roadwheel retaining bolts and ensure they are tightened to 220 Nm to prevent hub slippage.
Manual Section: Hydrostatic Transmission - Problems, Causes and RemediesLoader quick-attach mechanism wears rapidly, shears locking hardware, or develops excess slop during normal operation p. 27
Clean the quickhitch square locking peg housings every 100 operating hours or 2 weekly as shown on page 27. Grease the pivot pins every 10 operating hours or daily. Verify the slew ram pivot pin is securely tightened to the torque specified in the service manual to eliminate excess movement.
Manual Section: Routine MaintenanceAuxiliary attachment hydraulics are difficult to switch, inconsistent, or completely unresponsive when operating the joystick p. 216
Test the servo joystick hydraulic connections and torque them to the value specified on page 216 of the service manual. Inspect the auxiliary hoses for kinked or crushed sections that restrict fluid transfer to the attachment.
