1 Park the machine on level ground. Engage the parking
brake. Set the transmission to neutral. Lower the
attachments to the ground. Stop the engine and
remove the starter key.
2 Clean the area around fill/level plug A, then remove the
plug and its sealing washer. Oil should be level with the
bottom of the hole. Add recommended oil if necessary.
Clean and refit the plug and its washer.

Changing the Oil

The axle oil is used to lubricate the brake components and
cool the brake plates.
It is important that the oil is changed regularly as specified in
the service schedule - the lubricating properties of the oil will
reduce as a result of brake wear.
Consult your JCB distributor for advice if necessary.
