just ask a jcb dealer, they are bound to still supply them. manitou still supply paper manuals for most of there models and a lot are around £10, they never have stock cause they just press the print button and make them to order.

first pick is the shuttle and you want ATF in it to the high mark on the dip stick with it running, second pick is the gearbox and you want EP80/90 gear oil in it

10-30 engine oil will not be right for the clutches, just get some ATF its not expensive or difficult to get hold off and you only need about 7litres at a guess as they don't hold a lot, maybe 10 at a push if all the pipes and cooler are dry? i can tell you once the oil gets on the bottom of the stick with it running its takes next to naff all to get up to the top of stick. to begin with you will need to well over fill it before you run it so go right to the top of the dipper first then run it and start adding more.
