That’s a really good question — and to be fully transparent, the manual doesn’t explicitly mention the “3CXG” designation anywhere. It covers various 3CX and 4CX variants (like “3CX Std Lift,” “3CX Hi Lift,” “3CX 15,” “3CX 17,” etc.), and all machines from serial number 2000000 onwards. Since your machine is at 2416124, it does fall well within the covered range, so that part’s a match.
Now, about the “G” in 3CXG — it’s likely a region-specific or market-based tag (some say it stands for “Global” or “General market”), but to be honest, JCB has so many regional variants that even we don't always have clear answers. The manual itself doesn't define the “G” variant anywhere, and model years aren't listed either, since JCB organizes their service manuals by serial number and spec group rather than calendar year.
The manual does include coverage for both European and “R.O.W.” (rest of world) machines, along with engine configurations, hydraulic specs, and cooling system variations, so it’s quite comprehensive. If your 3CXG shares the same core layout as the more common 3CX/4CX variants — and it probably does — then this manual should get you 95% of the way there, at least for service, teardown, and troubleshooting work.
But yeah — just being honest here — we don’t have an internal master list of every JCB sub-variant ever made. You probably know more than we do when it comes to what that G actually changes (if anything). So if your machine’s drivetrain, hydraulics, and cab match what’s in this manual, it should be a solid match. If you’re expecting something wildly different, then fair warning — it might not be a perfect fit.
Let us know if you want help double-checking a section or if you want to give it a shot — totally your call.
