JCB Excavator 3CX 4CX Changing the Oil and Filter Guide
When draining JCB 760 Series Powershift gearboxes it is
recommended that the oil is drained through the cover plate
A to make sure that the debris collected in the transmission
sump is flushed out. Draining oil through the sump plug will
filter oil through the strainer and not flush out the debris.
WARNING!
Make the machine safe before getting beneath it. Lower
the attachments to the ground; engage the parking
brake; remove the starter key, disconnect the battery.

1 Park the machine on firm level ground, apply the park
brake. Lower the loader arms, open the engine bonnet,
raise the loader arms and fit the safety strut. Lower the
excavator to the ground, switch OFF the engine and
remove the starter key.
2 Apply the parking brake and disconnect the battery,
remove the engine side panels.
3 Place a container of suitable size beneath the
transmission to catch the oil.

the oil may be hot.
Note: When the cover is removed oil will gush out. Keep to
one side when you remove the cover plate.
