Checking the Foot Brake Fluid Level

Faulty brakes can kill. If you have to add oil to the brake
reservoir regularly get the brake system checked by your
JCB Dealer. Do not use the machine until the fault has
been put right.

1 Park the machine on firm level ground, engage the
parking brake and set the transmission to neutral. Raise
and block the loader arms. Lower the backhoe to the
ground and stop the engine.
2 Remove the reservoir cap A and check the level. The
MAX and MIN marks are marked on the side of the
reservoir B. If necessary, add fluid as in Step 3.
If the level has fallen below the MIN mark, get the
system checked by your JCB Dealer.
Using incorrect brake fluid could damage the system.
