The JCB 8080 excavator may be in idle mode and not functioning due to issues related to its electronic throttle control ("fly-by-wire" throttle) or the electric feeder fuel pump. If the feeder pump is not working properly, the diesel flow may be too low, causing the engine to stall when attempting to operate. Additionally, if the machine starts in limp mode and then switches to normal mode, it may stop running. The quick hitch system also relies on an electric-over-hydraulic mechanism, which requires electrical power to function. If there is an electrical failure, it could prevent proper operation.

want to make breaker hydraulic line into double acting so can use tree shear etc

The service manual does not provide specific instructions for converting the hydraulic line of a JCB 8080 breaker to double acting. However, generally, converting a hydraulic circuit from single-acting (breaker) to double-acting (tree shear) involves:
1. Identifying the Existing Hydraulic Setup – Check if the breaker circuit is single-acting, meaning it only supplies pressure in one direction and relies on gravity or a spring to return.
2. Installing a Return Line – For double-acting operation, you need both a pressure and a return line. The existing breaker return line may need modification or an additional line installed.
3. Adding a Control Valve – If the machine lacks a double-acting control valve, install one that allows flow in both directions.
4. Adjusting Hydraulic Connections – Ensure the hydraulic hoses are correctly routed to accommodate the tree shear’s double-acting function.
5. Checking the EMS System – The manual indicates that high-flow auxiliary circuits are controlled electronically and may have temperature-based restrictions.
6. Testing the System – After modifications, test the system to ensure proper operation and check for leaks.
For precise instructions, consult a JCB service engineer or refer to the machine’s hydraulic schematics.
