Waxoyl ➄ As a corrosion and moisture inhibitor all exposed connections should be coated liberally with petroleum jelly.
Note: New engines DO NOT require a running-in period. The engine/machine should be used in a normal work cycle immediately, glazing of the piston cylinder bores, resulting in excessive oil consumption, could occur if the engine is gently run-in. Under no circumstances should the engine be allowed to idle for extended periods; (e.g. warming up without load). Engines of new machines are filled at the factory with JCB 10W/30 Multigrade oil. This oil should be drained after the first 100 hours operation and the engine filled with the appropriate recommended grade as shown in the lubrication chart. JCB 10W/30 Multigrade should also be used for the first 100 hours operation whenever a new or reconditioned engine is fitted to the machine. After the first 100 hours operation, it is essential that the 10W/30 oil is replaced by the lubricant recommended. The figure quoted is TOTAL system capacity. Use the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick when filling the system. Figures quoted within ±0.5 litre (0.11 U.K. gal).
➁
Note: The figure quoted is TOTAL system capacity. Use the MIN and MAX marks on the dipstick when filling the system. Figures quoted within ±1.0 litre (0.22 U.K. gal).
➂
Note: The total hydraulic system capacity depends on the equipment being used. Fill with all rams closed. Watch level indicator on hydraulic tank.
➃
Note: JCB HP Grease is a high specification grease, in certain applications this grease must be used, for instance transmission bearings during an overhaul.

! WARNING: Waxoyl contains turpentine substitute, which is inflammable. Keep flames away when applying Waxoyl. Waxoyl can take a few weeks to dry completely. Keep flames away during the drying period. Do not weld near the affected area during the drying period. Take the same precautions as for oil to keep Waxoyl off your skin. Do not breathe the fumes. Apply in a well-ventilated area. GEN-1-3
