Part of the JCB Operator Manuals.
This is the JCB Robot 185 and 1105 Operator Handbook (publication 9801/4130) for these skid steer loaders, including the 185 H/F and 1105 HF high-flow variants, covering machines. It runs to 100 pages of operating and routine maintenance guidance.
The handbook covers safety notices and checklists, entering and leaving the cab, controls, switches and warning indicators, starting and driving the machine, and using optional attachments such as the 6-in-1 shovel and pallet forks. A maintenance section explains daily and scheduled checks, transporting a disabled machine and the emergency load lower procedure.
A specification section lists rated lifting capacities, tipping loads, tyre data and dimensions, followed by service record sheets. For owners and operators of a Robot 185 or 1105, it is the reference for safe operation and keeping the machine maintained.
