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.

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.

! WARNING

Using incorrect brake fluid could damage the system.

See Service Capacities and Lubricants in

Wear rubber gloves. Cover cuts and grazes.

If required, carefully pour the recommended fluid (DO

NOT USE ORDINARY BRAKE FLUID) until it reaches

the correct level.
