Generator enclosure becomes excessively hot; paint may discolor near exhaust or radiator.

Safety: Hot surfaces and exhaust can cause burns. Allow cool‑down before touching panels.

• Check airflow: Inspect JCB canopy intake and discharge grilles for debris, plastic bags, or vegetation. Remove obstructions.
• Verify clearances: Ensure the generator has the minimum clearance from walls and other equipment as specified by JCB.
• Exhaust routing: Confirm exhaust is correctly routed away from the intake side and not leaking into the canopy.
• Fan operation: Check that the engine cooling fan is intact and rotating in the correct direction.
