JCB Generator G41QS

Follow all the precautions described below, to prevent damage to the alternator and battery.

2. Make sure that the battery negative terminal is connected to the earth cable.

3. Do not connect or disconnect the battery or alternator connections, or any part of the charging circuit while the engine is in operation. If you disregard this instruction, the regulator or rectifying diodes will be damaged.

4. Main output cables are always in active state of current flow even when the engine is not in operation. If the alternator connector is removed, do not earth the moulded plug.

5. When you do arc welding on the machine, remove the moulded plug (or if the separate output cables are installed, remove the cables) to protect the alternator.

6. If it is necessary to jump start the battery then do the steps below.

6.1. Connect the secondary battery in parallel without disconnecting the vehicle battery from the charging circuit.

Access to the engine compartment obtained

Filter element unscrewed and removed

New element fitted and gasket lubricated

Sign off on the fuel filter replacement

Access to the engine compartment obtained

Engine compartment, fuel lines and the area below checked for leaks

Warning: Follow the correct procedures to avoid contamination of the fuel system and damage to the engine.

Warning: Shield the engine air intake, alternator, starter motor and any other electrical components from direct cleaning by the high pressure cleaning system.

All electrical connectors correctly coupled?

Alternator covered with a plastic bag to prevent water ingress?

Engine air intake, exhaust and breather system sealed?

Oil filler caps and dipstick correctly installed?

Used a low pressure water jet and brush to soak off caked mud or dirt?

Applied an approved cleaning and degreasing agent with a brush?

Notice: Do not allow dirt to enter the system. Before disconnecting any part of the system, thoroughly clean around the connection. When a component has been disconnected, always install protective caps and plugs to prevent dirt ingress.

Failure to follow these instructions will lead to dirt entering the system. Dirt in the system will seriously damage the systems components and could be expensive to repair.

Is there sufficient fuel in the tank?

Loosen the bleed screw on the fuel filter.

Turn on the ignition until fuel with no air flows freely from the valve, then close the bleed screw.

Check the engine for smooth running.

If the engine continues to run roughly, check again the bleeding procedure.
