Location of Handbook
Page Numbering
To use the 1CX efficiently and safely you must know the
machine and have the skill to use it. This handbook
instructs you on the machine, its controls and its safe
operation. It is not a training manual on the art of loading
and excavating. If you are a new operator, get yourself
trained in the skills of using a 1CX before trying to work
with it. If you do not, you will not do your job well, and you
will be a danger to yourself and others.

INTRODUCTION
THE JCB 1CX
Machine Description
The 1CX is a self propelled wheeled skid steer machine with a main structural support designed to carry both a front mounted
bucket loading mechanism and a rear mounted backhoe. When used in the backhoe mode, the machine normally digs below
ground level with bucket motion towards the machine; the backhoe lifts, swings and discharges material while the machine is
stationary. When used in the loader mode, the machine loads or excavates through forward motion of the machine, and lifts,
transports and discharges material.

Each lever has four main movements (in a 'X' pattern), and
is spring-loaded to its central (hold) position. The backhoe
will stay in any position until you move it with the levers.
Both levers can be moved at the same time, for more
efficient operation. The speed of backhoe movement
depends on how far you move the lever; the further you
move the lever the faster the action.
Combined actions can be achieved by moving the lever in
directions between the four main ones. The lever
movements and resulting actions are shown on a decal
near the controls.

JUMP-STARTING THE ENGINE
! WARNING
If you try to charge a frozen battery, or jump-start and
run the engine, the battery could explode.
Do not use a battery if its electrolyte is frozen. To
prevent the battery electrolyte from freezing, keep the
battery at full charge.
Batteries give off a flammable gas that can explode.
Do not smoke when checking the battery electrolyte
levels. When starting from another machine, make
sure the two machines do not touch. This prevents any
chance of sparks near the battery. Sparks could ignite
the battery gas. If that happens the battery could
explode.

Maintenance
This section of the Handbook gives full details of the
service requirements necessary to maintain your JCB
machine at peak efficiency.
To further protect your machine's performance it is
essential your JCB Distributor carries out an initial service
and inspection when the machine is one month old or
when it has completed 100 hours of operation (whichever
occurs first). You should notify your Distributor in advance
to allow the necessary arrangements to be made.
Service/Maintenance Agreements
To help plan and spread the costs of maintaining your
machine, we strongly recommend you take advantage of
the many Service and Maintenance Agreements your
Distributor can offer. These can be tailor made to meet
your operating conditions, work schedule etc.

Advice
Density
Sulphur
High sulphur content can cause engine wear. (High sulphur
fuel is not normally found in North America, Europe or
Australia.) If you have to use high sulphur fuel you must
also use a highly alkaline engine lubricating oil; or change
the normal oil more frequently.
If you have to use low sulphur fuel you are advised to use
a lubrication additive as recommended by your fuel
supplier.
! WARNING
Diesel fuel is flammable; keep naked flames away from
the machine. Do not smoke while refuelling the
machine or working on the engine. Do not refuel with
the engine running. There could be a fire and injury if
you do not follow these precautions.
Distillation
This indicates the mixture of different hydrocarbons in the
fuel. A high ratio of lightweight hydrocarbons can affect the
combustion characteristics.
INT-3-2-2
Fuel Standards
At the end of every working day, fill the tank with the
correct type of fuel. This will prevent condensation from
developing in the fuel tank overnight.

QUICK RELEASE COUPLINGS
! WARNING
Hydraulic fluid at pressure can injure you. Make the
machine safe before connecting or disconnecting
quick release couplings; stop the engine then turn the
starter switch to IGN and operate the attachment
control a few times to vent residual hydraulic pressure
in the attachment hoses.
3-4-1-3
DO wipe the two faces of the coupling and make sure they
are clean before connecting.
DO make sure the outside sleeve (female coupling) is
pulled back when disconnecting.
DO connect and disconnect a new coupling two or three
times to 'work' the PTFE seals - sometimes a new coupling
will stick if the seals have not been 'worked'.
DO use a spanner on the hexagon flats of the coupling
when fitting adaptors.
DO use a rubber or hide hammer to disconnect a coupling
if it sticks - sticking may occur if there is dirt present in the
coupling.
DON'T attempt to re-connect a damaged half coupling this will destroy the seals and necessitate replacing both
half couplings.
DON'T leave the coupling where it may be run over by a
machine or otherwise crushed - this will distort the coupling
sleeve and prevent correct connection and disconnection.

BACKHOE QUICKHITCH
! WARNING
If two people are doing this job make sure that the
person working the controls is a competent operator. If
the wrong control lever is moved, or if the controls are
moved violently, the other person could be killed or
injured.
2-2-6-5
! CAUTION
When the Quickhitch is installed and its attachment
fitted, there is a danger of the attachment hitting the
underside of the boom. Operate the boom and dipper
carefully when the Quickhitch and its attachment is
fitted.
2-4-4-2
IMPORTANT
To eliminate premature wear, failure and breakage, the
Quickhitch should only be used in conjunction with a
rockbreaker for short periods. If the machine is to be
used for rock breaking over a long period of time, it is
preferable that the rockbreaker is mounted directly
onto the machine.
When using a rockbreaker it must always be curled
towards the machine (as a typical digging operation).
Never use the rockbreaker as a lever as this will result
in excessive load on the locking mechanism.
Maintenance
Inspect daily for broken or missing parts. Remove any
debris from latch hook locking mechanism. If cleaned by
high pressure water, always re-grease the latch hook pivot
pin. Always grease the latch hook pin every week.
! CAUTION
When the Quickhitch is fitted to the machine,
allowance must be made for the weight of the
Quickhitch on the rated operating load. The mass of
the Quickhitch is stamped on the data plate.
