JCB Dealer to schedule a service.
> Make sure all the engine access doors are
closed and secured.

generators, the engine should be warmed
up with a reduced load before applying the
full load.
Checks after running
Ensure the electrical load is switched OFF before
stopping the engine.
> Check the battery isolator is at the ‘off’ position.
> Fill the fuel tank. Make sure the filler cap and
the area round the filler opening are clean to
avoid contamination of the fuel.

closed and secured.
> If there is a risk of freezing, the cooling system
must contain the correct antifreeze.

next start by connecting the engine heater.

the engine/coolant to cool before the radiator cap
