GENERAL CHECKS
After correct installation of the unit and the wiring, the generating set must be fully checked
over before first starting can be attempted. Points to check include:
•Make sure that the battery isolator is at 'off' position before carrying out any checks.
•Check all belts, guards and panel covers are firmly secured.
•Check the installed wiring to ensure all connections are firmly installed in the correct
position, and that wires are in good condition.
•Make sure that the battery connections are secure and polarity of connections are correct.
•Ensure that there is fuel in the fuel tank.
•If the machine has not been run previously, if it has run out of fuel or if the fuel supply has
been reconnected then the fuel system must be primed prior to starting. Check for fuel
leaks during this process.
•Check level of coolant in machine radiator, and top-up if low.
•Check hoses for damage or loose clamps.
•Check level of engine oil using dipstick.
•Check fuel filter/water separator for presence of water or contaminants.
•Check the position of the 3-way valve to correct fuel source. Do not run the generator
with the 3-way valve set to the 'off' position (if applicable).
•Visually inspect the engine and alternator for any signs of damage, water, oil or fuel leaks.
•Make sure that all supplied documents are kept in the document holder case.
•Ensure that machine intake and outlet air vents and grills are not obstructed or blocked in
any way to allow good airflow through the machine.
•Check that the engine intake air filter is correctly fitted, and that there are no obstructions
to the incoming air.
•Make sure that the alternator windings and assembly are not damp, or dirty. Failure to do
so could result in damage to the alternator windings. If windings are observed to be
damp/dirty contact your JCB Dealer.
•Make sure that all the engine access doors are closed and secured.
•With the exception of emergency power generators, the engine should be warmed up with
a reduced load before applying the full load.

This button places the module into its STOP/RESET mode. This will clear any alarm conditions for which the
triggering criteria have been removed. If the engine is running and the module is put into STOP/RESET mode,
the module will automatically instruct the generator to unload ('Close Generator output' becomes inactive. In
STOP/RESET mode the generator remains at rest.
This button places the module into its MANUAL mode. Once in MANUAL mode, the module responds to the
start button to start the generator and run it off load. The MCCB need to be closed manually.
This button places the module into its AUTO MODE. This mode allows the module to control the function of
the generator automatically. The module monitors numerous start requests via digital input, PLC and MSC link
and when one has been made, the set is automatically started. Once the generator is available, the module
automatically instructs the generator to synchronise and once in sync, to be place the generator on load (‘Close
Generator Output’ becomes active). Upon removal of the starting signal, the module starts the Return Delay
Timer and once expired, the load is automatically ramped off the generator and then it is taken off load (‘Close
Generator Output’ becomes inactive). The generator then continues to run for the duration of the Cooling
Timer until it stops. The module then waits for the next start event.

BATTERY ISOLATOR
The battery isolator switch is used to disconnect the battery from the machine electrics. The switch
must be turned to the off position if any maintenance work is to be performed on the machine.
Some machine systems perform shut down cycles after the engine stops. Wait until shut down cycles are
complete before setting the battery isolator switch to the off position.
At the end of a working cycle or if the machine is being left unattended and the lights are not required,
the battery must be isolated.
Disconnect
If the machine has an electronically controlled engine, you must wait a period of time before you isolate
the battery. This is to allow the ECM (Engine Control Module) to shutdown correctly. The time period
starts when you turn the ignition off. Check the isolator switch label and the operators manual for the
correct time period.
In the event of an emergency, remove the isolator key without waiting.
1. Wait for the specified duration after the engine is turned off before you isolate the battery (60 s).
2. Make the machine safe.
3. Turn the ignition to the off position.
4. Wait for the engine ECM to shutdown correctly (if installed).
5. Get access to the isolator key.
6. Turn the battery isolator key in the indicated direction and remove.
Connect
Before you start the engine or use the machine electrics, the battery isolator key must be installed and
switched on.
1. Make sure the ignition is set to off.
2. Insert the battery isolator key and turn in the indicated direction.

LIFTING
The generating set should only be lifted using the designated lifting points or the fork
pockets where provided.
Do not lift the unit by the alternator or engine lifting eyes. These are designed only to
carry the weight of the specific unit (engine or alternator) and not for the weight of the
fully assembled generating set.
19
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
IMPORTANT
Always ensure that lifting equipment is rated to lift the load. Weights are
shown on the generator rating plate on the side of the control panel. These
weights exclude fuel, and while both the fork pockets and lifting frame are
rated to allow lifting including fuel, the operator needs to ensure that they
have adequate lifting capacity.
