Description

JCB 714 718 Articulated Dump Truck Operator Handbook

This is the complete JCB 714 718 Articulated Dump Truck Operator Handbook, the operator-facing manual issued by JCB for both the 714 (from machine no. 830000) and the 718 (from machine no. 832000) articulated dump trucks. It is the document that belongs in the cab – and this PDF gives you a clean, printable copy of it for reference at the desk, in the workshop or on site.

Inside you will find the full operator instruction set: how to enter and leave the cab, how to adjust the seat and steering column, how to read the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) display panel, how to tip and travel safely, and how to carry out the routine daily and interval service jobs that keep a JCB ADT working. It also includes the full specification block – weights, tyre pressures, static dimensions and noise/vibration data.

Across those sections the handbook gives an operator everything needed to run a 714 or 718 ADT correctly – not just how to drive it, but how to look after it between services and how to recognise a fault before it becomes a breakdown. The safety chapter sets out signal-word meanings (DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION) and carries the specific warnings that apply to a machine of this size: ROPS/FOPS protection, seat belt use, articulation and tipper body hazards, jacking and blocking, and the particular ADT 718 hydraulic suspension behaviour at engine start-up and shut-down. The maintenance chapter then walks through each serviceable system in turn – engine, cooling, fuel, transmission, axles, hubs, hydraulics, battery and electrical – with torque figures, capacities and the correct order of operations.

What This Manual Enables You to Do

With the JCB 714 718 Articulated Dump Truck Operator Handbook to hand you can carry out the full daily and interval service routine without guessing at capacities or tightening torques, correctly interpret every warning light and message on the EMS panel, fit and stow the tipper body safety strut and the articulation lock, prime the fuel system after a filter change, adjust the parking brake, and test the brake before returning the machine to work. It also covers the correct use of the battery isolator and jump-starting procedure – details that are easy to get wrong and expensive to get wrong on a 24-volt negative-earth machine.

The specification section is included in full, so you can check working capacities, laden and unladen axle weights, tyre pressures for 20.5 R25 and 650/65 R25 fitments, overall operating height, turning radius, articulation angle and body tip angle before you plan a lift, a transport or a tip. For anyone running a 714 or 718 on site, this is the reference that keeps the machine inside its design limits.
