JCB JS115 excavator engine overheating indicator flashes on the monitor display during heavy digging operations p. 126
Inspect the cooling package for debris and verify the fan belt slack is exactly 10 mm as shown on page 126. Check the engine oil dipstick and ensure the crankcase is filled to the 13.2 litres capacity specified on page 110. Clean the radiator fins.
Manual Section: Monitor Display Fault MessagesHydraulic functions become slow and attachment controls feel stiff when operating the machine p. 157
Drain the hydraulic tank and check the Plexus filter for contamination. When reinstalling the filter housing, torque the Plexus filter bolts E to exactly 20 Nm as specified on page 157. Verify hydraulic fluid level is visible in the sight glass before resuming operation.
Manual Section: Operating Controls Hard to OperateEngine power drops noticeably under load and black exhaust smoke appears from the stack p. 103
Check the air cleaner dust valve and clean out any accumulated dirt. You must check and clean the dust valve every 10 hours as detailed on page 103. Inspect the outer filter element for severe restriction and replace it if the warning light remains illuminated.

Manual Section: Hydraulic Pump IssuesFrequently Asked Questions
What are the replacement specifications for Hydraulic filters?
The replacement specifications for hydraulic filters vary based on the type of filter and the operating conditions. For normal use, filters like the Servo Filter Element, Plexus Filter Element, Return Filter Element, and Drain Filter Element are typically changed at intervals such as 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, or 5000 hours, as detailed in the Service Schedules. If using a breaker, crusher, or pulverizer, these filters must be changed whenever the period of use exceeds 100 hours, regardless of the total machine operating hours.
What are the replacement specifications for Engine air filters?
Engine air filter elements have specific replacement intervals. The outer air filter element should be changed at intervals such as 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, or 5000 hours, or more frequently in dusty conditions, and immediately if the warning light on the instrument panel illuminates. The inner air filter element should be replaced at intervals such as 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, or 5000 hours, or at least every third time the outer element is changed.
How do you fix JCB JS115 excavator engine overheating indicator flashes on the monitor display during heavy digging operations?
