Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Hi just been cleaning a ditch out and all of a sudden the servo levers stopped working they have gone sloppy with no back pressure to them. The machine still tracks forward and backwards no problem just can't move the boom. I have played with all the switches on the dash but no joy. I remember years ago something similar happened on a hymac 141 I had and there was a solenoid gone behind the seat which contolled the hydraulics could this be the same sort of problem? Any ideas what to look for would be much appreciated many thanks James.

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
I had similar on grey cab 814S but I thought it stopped the track pedals as well. It was the solenoid for the safety switch, burnt the wires in armrest fuse box as well. Short fix was manually wedging the solenoid with a shaped broom handle off-cut against the rear tank. Not long term as no safe cut out.
Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Many thanks for that I think the dead man on the later models controlled the tracks as well but not on earlier ones as well. Was it one of the solenoids around the valve blocks can you remember which one as there seems to be a few in tgere? Many thanks for your help cheers James

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
The 812 may be a different lay out entirely? Have you got a triple gear pump or the large Variable Displacement + charge pump? (814 is latter) The solenoid in question was one of quite a few dotted about and I cannot for the life of remember how I worked out which was which. Perhaps by following pipework. The one that I jammed in is mounted on the bulkhead between the hyd compartment and engine. It is grouped with at least 2 others (IIRR) pointing fore and aft. I was able to hold in open circuit by piece of said wood wedged to the tank behind.

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Thanks so much for that I have the tripple pump and the picture looks a lot different to my arrangement but going to have a crack at fixing it today otherwise I am going to have to call a plant fitter out as the controls stopped with the bucket in the bottom of the ditch which is not ideal once again thanks for the advice really do appreciate it very much.

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Just a quick update the fuse in the arm rest had blown it looked ok yesterday but I actually tested it today with multimeter and had gone. However the machine moves now but blowing a fuse every couple of minutes now so parked her up disconnected the battery and bit the bullet got a plant fitter/ electrical man coming at end if week to take a look. But thank you very much for the advice much appreciated. James

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Thanks for that I am ok with mechanical stuff but me and electrics just don't mix so hopefully this guy that's coming can sort it have used him before and he is very good. Thanks for the pointers tho. James

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Just wondering if anyone knows exactly where the servo isolator solenoid would be it is an earlier type machine 1988 with the tripple gear pump so slightly different layout than on the picture that essexpete very kindly uploaded to this post. Thanks

Re: Jcb 812 lost servo controls
Sorry I cant't help with location but how many solenoids has your machine? If you unplug carefully one at a time you should be able to work out which one it is (between blowing fuses!)
