JCB G65–G141 Series Common Problems This Manual Covers
JCB G115QS engine starts but stops immediately or runs roughly under load
Inspect the fuel pre-filter and water separator for contamination. Drain any trapped water. Verify the engine fuel filter strap retaining screw is tightened to 24 N·m as shown on page 109. Check the 10 h daily maintenance schedule on page 88 to ensure proper service intervals.
Manual Section: Engine - Starts then StopsGenerator trips offline with OL error code on the module display during operation p. 58
Check the error code reference on page 58. Remove excess load from the generator set immediately. Ensure the connected load matches the correct output rating and verify the electrical frequency remains stable at 50/60 Hz. Reset the breaker only after reducing the demand.
Manual Section: OperationEngine will not crank or cranks slowly during cold weather startup attempts
Inspect the battery terminals for corrosion and tight connections. Verify the electrolyte level is 6 mm above the plates as specified on page 113. Measure the battery output and ensure the charging required voltage for a 24V system is not below 24.8 V. Recharge if necessary.
Manual Section: Engine - Will Not Crank or Cranks SlowlyHigh temperature warning light flashes and the engine shuts down after running
Inspect the radiator matrix for blockages and ensure adequate airflow around the enclosure. Check the fluid capacities on page 134 and verify the coolant level is correct. If topping off, use a 50 % antifreeze mixture that protects down to -40 °C as detailed on page 130.
Manual Section: Coolant - Over TemperatureFrequently Asked Questions
How do I reset the JCB G115QS generator fault codes?
To reset fault codes on a JCB G115QS generator, press the 'stop/reset' button on the control panel. This action places the module into its STOP/RESET mode and clears any active alarm conditions once the triggering criteria have been removed. For example, in Stand-Alone Manual Mode, pressing this button clears any alarms.
What do the JCB G140QS error codes mean?
The JCB G140QS generator displays various alarm conditions on its LCD, which are detailed in the manual. These include Warning Alarms (Table 8, page 56), Electrical Trip Alarms (Table 9, page 57), Shutdown Alarms (Table 10, page 58), and ECU Alarms (CAN Fault Codes /DTC) (Table 11, page 59), each with a description of the fault. For instance, a 'Low Fuel Level' warning indicates the fuel level sensor is below the pre-set alarm setting.
How do I clear an alarm on a JCB G90S or G91QS?
To clear an alarm on a JCB G90S or G91QS, press the 'stop/reset' button on the module. For audible alarms, pressing the alarm 'mute/lamp' test button will silence them. Latching electrical trip and shutdown alarms require the fault condition to be cleared and then the 'stop/reset' button to be pressed.
How do I reset the controller on a JCB G65QS?
To reset the controller on a JCB G65QS, press the 'stop/reset' button on the front of the module. This action places the module into its STOP/RESET mode and clears any alarm conditions that were active, provided their triggering criteria have been removed. This is one of the primary controls for normal operation.
