JCB 2CX - Warning Light - Help Please!!

[Lwrightt]

Hi,

Hoping someone may be able to help…

I’ve borrowed my father in laws JCB 2CX year 2000 to support with a large renovation project.

All was going well until I came to start it yesterday and was faced with the attached warning lights (and it refused to start - assuming may be a safety cut off due to low pressures?)…

I’m guessing these symbols are something to do with oil / low pressure levels?

If so, can someone advise what oil I need to purchase and where this needs to be topped up?

Many thanks in advance!

They are ignition lights.
It's probably in gear and won't start as a safety feature

Thanks for your reply…

I’ve checked and it’s definitely not in gear but still showing the same symbols when I turn the ignition on.

I’m going to top up the levels and see if that helps!

Levels won't have anything to do with it, there just normal ignition lights that will come on almost every vehicle when not running.

It will be a saftey start relay or forward reverse lever fault I suspect, or bad connection at battery or starter, just enough to let ignition power though but not good enough to attempt to start, or starter motor is dead.

Low fluids will not stop it starting unless of cause if it's already siezed solid

Make sure the handbrake is on and F/R shuttle is in neutral also

Is the handbrake on a rocker switch?

The 2cx I operated years ago’s handbrake was a push on and twist off, very similar to an emergency stop button

What does F-i-L recommend, it's his machine, he may have 'the knack' for starting it................he may also have isolated it in your absence

The one here just has a simple rocker switch. Easily overlooked
