Service jobs and parts

50-hour greasing

Chassis · every 50 hours

Eurol's guide lists the grease points as a 50-hour check. Use the diagram in your handbook for the points.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Grease	1	Type: check your handbook	check your handbook

Step-by-step

Park level, lower implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
Wipe each nipple clean, then grease the propshafts, PTO shaft and other points on the handbook's diagram.
Wipe off surplus grease so dirt does not stick.

Tools: Grease gun, Rags

Engine oil and filter change

Engine · every 500 hours or every 6 months

Eurol's guide gives the engine oil every 500 hours or 6 months, with a first change at 100 hours. On the Fastrac 3230 with the same engine, JCB says this holds only with JCB EP 15W/40 and its own filter; with other oil or filters change every 250 hours. The filter goes on with the oil every time.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number
Engine oil	1	15W-40. JCB Engine Oil EP 15W/40 on the 3230; confirm in your handbook. ≈17.5 L. Aztec Oils match: EMPROTEC SHPD-X 15W-40	check your handbook
Engine oil filter	1	No genuine number confirmed for the 2155 or 2170. One parts site lists 32/925413 for JCB 2155 and 2170 but names loaders, not the Fastrac with the QSB engine. Check your handbook or ask a JCB dealer with your serial number	check your handbook

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground, lower the linkage and implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
Let it stand about 10 minutes so the oil is warm, not scalding. Wear gloves.
Remove the sump plug and let the oil drain fully.
Clean around the filter head, unscrew the old filter and make sure its seal has come off.
Oil the new filter seal and fit by hand as marked on the filter.
Refit the plug and fill with about 17.5 L to the full mark.
Run the engine for a minute, check for leaks, stop, wait and recheck the dipstick.

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground, lower implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
Drain the front and rear differentials into trays. Wear gloves.
Refit the plugs and fill each to its level plug.
Check for leaks after the next run.

Tools: Large drain tray, Spanners, Oil pump

Engine air filter elements

Engine · every 1,000 hours or every year

Eurol does not give an air filter interval. On the Fastrac 3230 with the same engine JCB gives the outer element every 1,000 hours or a year and the inner every 2,000 hours or 2 years; check your handbook for yours. Change it sooner in dusty work.

Part	Qty	Notes	Part number

Hydraulic oil and filter change

Hydraulics · every 2,000 hours or every 2 years

Eurol's guide gives the hydraulic system every 2,000 hours or 24 months, with a level check every 10 hours. The filter is changed with the oil. A parts site lists 32/925291 as a hydraulic filter for the 2155 and 2170. On the 3230 JCB changes the filter element every 500 hours as well: check your handbook.

Step-by-step

Park on firm level ground, lower the linkage and implements, stop the engine, take the key out and chock the wheels.
Work the controls with the engine off to release trapped pressure. Oil at pressure can pierce skin.
Drain the tank into a large container. Stand to one side when you open the drain.

Test the brakes at low speed in a safe place before road work.

Tools: Bleed tube and jar, Ring spanner for bleed screws, Rags

Air dryer canister
