GENERAL CHECKS
After correct installation of the unit, the power pack must be fully checked
over before first starting can be attempted. Points to check include:
• A visual inspection for signs of damage.
• Ensure all ventilation grilles are unobstructed (300mm free air
recommendation).
• Check the load cables to ensure all connections are firmly installed in the
correct position, and that wires are in good condition.
• Ensure the power pack is located on flat level ground.
• Ensure the power pack is located to prevent sitting in standing water.
• Ensure that the power pack is located so as to avoid impact damage

Before Use
IMPORTANT
If you are using a generator to recharge your JCB Power Pack then it is essential that the
generator is correctly sized. This should be either a dedicated single phase generator, or a 3
phase generator that is suitably sized to prevent an excessive phase imbalance.

once it drops back below 6kW)
or if the battery level drops
below 5% (de-energise above
95%)

LIFTING
The power pack should only be lifted using the designated lifting points or the fork
pockets where provided.
For movement on site the fork pockets enable the power pack to be lifted and shifted by
forklift or telescopic handler. The fork pockets are sized and spaced to allow lifting by
equipment with a stand fork carriage.
11
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
NOTE: Always ensure that lifting equipment is rated to lift the load.
Weights are shown on the power pack rating plate. While both the fork
pockets and lifting frame are rated to allow lifting, the operator needs to
ensure that they have adequate lifting capacity.

POSITIONING
12
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
Your JCB power pack has a rugged
design and is suited for life on a hard
working site, however there are
precautions that should be undertaken
to ensure a long service life
•Units should be located on flat level
ground
•If the machine is sat in standing/rising
water then if the level reaches
200mm the performance of the
machine may be compromised.
Where possible position the machine
on higher ground.
•Units should be positioned to
minimise the risk of impact damage

STACKING
13
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
The JCB power pack is designed to be stackable up to 2 units in use or 3 units in
storage. Model 1.25QE and 1.50QE are interchangeable.
NOTE: When stacking
equipment always
ensure that the roof
mounted securing pegs
are engaged with the
sleeves on the underside
of the unit being stacked
IMPORTANT
Stacked units MUST be sited on
flat, level, stable ground

EMERGENCY STOP
A machine isolation button/emergency stop button is mounted externally on the
canopy If pressed, all machine systems will stop completely.
Use the emergency stop button in the case of an emergency.
Under normal operation the power pack should be turned off using the STOP button.
This can be clarified in the Control Panel section of your Operators Manual.
The emergency stop button is a twist to release type and will need a ¼ turn clockwise
to disengage.

The Emergency Stop will isolate the output connections from all sources

FAQ
15
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
1. Is the Power Pack suitable for 3 phase loads?
2. How long will it run for?
3. How long does it take to recharge?
4. How much power does it have?
5. What can I use to recharge my Power Pack?
Power Pack models 1.25QE and 1.50QE are only capable of a single phase,
230V, 50Hz output.
This will depend on the load that is applied. 1.25QE has 21kWhr of useable
capacity while the 1.50QE has 41kWhr of useable capacity. Put simply, a 2kW
load would drain the batteries in either 10 or 20 hours depending on you
Power Pack model. If you apply more load it will drain faster, less load and it will
drain slower.
The inverter output is rated at 8kW @ 230V single phase.
Your Power Pack can be recharged via either the main 63A input or by the 16A
trickle charge connection. Any single phase, 230V, 50Hz supply connected to
these input connections will allow the Power Pack to recharge
This will vary depending on several factors including battery levels, ambient
temperatures and the size of supply you have available. Based on a 32A input
and a full recharge from 10-100%, the typical recharge time would be 3 hours
for 1.25QE or 6 hours for 1.50QE

FAQ
16
Please consult your manual for full information or consult your local dealer
6. Will the Power Pack automatically start my site generator?
7. Why is my generator ‘hunting’ when connected to my Power Pack?
8. What maintenance does it need?
9. Can I add solar panels to my Power Pack?
10. How much noise does it make?
Your Power Pack has 2 volt free contacts mounted on the control section (see
page 6). These will be activated if the site load exceeds 8kW or if the battery
capacity falls to 5%.
You should check that your generator is correctly sized. The JCB Power Pack
will draw up to 7kW of single phase power when recharging. Your generator
should be rate to supply this load without unduly loading a single phase.
A solar input is an optional feature on the JCB Power Pack. Please contact your
supplying dealer for confirmation of individual model specifications.
There may be a little bit of fan noise, but to all intents and purposes, the system
is silent in operation
Apart from periodic inspections the Power Pack is maintenance free. The only
checks that you will need to make is that the unit has charge.
