Fans are a significant source of Off-Highway equipment noise. Introduction With an IPU the JCB EcoMAX engine is cooled using the supplied liquid cooling system to maintain the correct operating temperature. The engine installer must ensure the cooling performance of the unit is maintained when installed in the finished equipment. There are maximum limits for coolant and lubricating oil temperature which must not be exceeded.
IPU products however fitting a puller fan will increase the temperature around the engine bay and aftertreatment components and could risk causing temperature limits for such components to be exceeded. For further advice and guidance consult your JCB EcoMAX dealer, or JCB Power Systems Applications department.
If you begin to feel drowsy, stop the engine at once and get into fresh air. NOTE: Tier 4 / Stage IV engines must also refer to JCB EcoMAX Emissions Related Installation Instructions. For more advice, contact JCB Power Systems Applications department.
JCB EcoMAX Engine Installation Manual Performance The OEM must test the exhaust system to make sure it meets performance requirements for backpressure, vibration levels, turbocharger mounting loads (see Technical Data Sheet). 6.2.1 Backpressure The exhaust backpressure, measured on a straight section of pipe close to the turbocharger outlet, must be within the minimum and maximum range specified limits shown in the Technical Data Sheet for the specific engine rating.
The NOx sensor must not be removed from the stub pipe. Welding this stub pipe is also not approved. The JCB flange, which is supplied loose, may be welded and then bolted, with the supplied gasket, to the stub pipe.
JCB EcoMAX Engine Installation Manual 6.3.5 Water Protection The aftertreatment system must be protected from water ingress up the exhaust pipe as this may freeze and damage the catalyst. Protection of the NOx sensors from water and other contamination is also mandatory to avoid premature damage to the components.
The fuel system included on the JCB EcoMAX engine meets the required legislated emission standards. The engine needs a supply of clean fuel and a return line back to the fuel tank. The system is designed to allow high bypass fuel flow and can deliver full flow return to tank.
JCB EcoMAX Engine Installation Manual Installation of the Fuel System 7.2.1 Fuel Tank The OEM must install the fuel tank in a position between 0.7 m above the engine and 0.7 m below the engine (defined as the fuel outlet position in the tank to the fuel inlet position on the engine).
Water separation requirements vary depending on fuel quality. If the fuel does not comply with EN590 you may need to install an additional water separator. JCB Power Systems Applications Department can give advice on expected regional fuel conditions.
It is possible to install an electric heater adjacent to the engine mounted fuel filter for extreme temperature situations. NOTE! Refer to JCB Power Systems Applications department for more advice. 7.2.6 Fuel Lubricity Additive Dosing Filters A lubricity additive dosing filter unit is available for use with low lubricity fuels.

The purpose of this section is to provide guidance to the machine manufacturing team relating to the appropriate handling and installation of a JCB engine into a machine or vehicle. This is not intended to replace the formal PFMEA process, rather to inform it and to provide pointers that will help avoid potential issues.
- Ensure that records are kept to show that engine and kits are correctly handled and installed. - Allow JCB Power Systems or their agents to periodically inspect the equipment assembly process and associated records.
Manufacturing Engineer. JCB’s approach is fundamentally as follows: To ensure reliability of the engine and installation it is in the interests of both JCB and the engine installer to have some common ground on assembly techniques.
To maintain this through to the finished machine, removal and reassembly of any existing bolted joints are discouraged and must be agreed with JCB as part of the Application Sign Off process. In any case where a bolted joint is disturbed a suitable control method is required to ensure the correct fastener torque is applied and the action either marked on the bolt or otherwise recorded.
18.9.2 CCV hoses In most cases the CCV system is installed on the engine by JCB, although by exception the engine may be shipped with fittings to support a chassis mounted CCV filter. In most cases the outlet pipe from the CCV system must be installed at the OEM in order to ensure optimal outlet from a machine perspective.
Assembly of the belt drive is necessary to ensure the engine water pump, as a minimum, is driven. As noted previously in this document, JCB engines are assembled in such a way as to provide maximum flexibility at the engine customer’s assembly location. Thus items such as alternator, air conditioning compressor and fan are required to be installed to suit the machine being built.
Further paint processes are not preferred as a deviation from JCB’s validated procedures. If it is determined that paint is a firm requirement of the end user the following should be considered when defining the paint process: ...
Dealer storage & Engine start 18.19 It is recommended that JCB equipment is restarted every 4 weeks and warmed, with all booms and rams being exercised to maintain their condition ready for sale. The engine has similar requirements, and issues may occur if the engine is left un-started for significant periods.
