| Symptom | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Canadian installations only | For standby service connect the output of the generator set to a suitably rated transfer switch in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1. | |
| Engine overheats | Coolant level is low, thermostat is faulty, radiator fins are dirty | Add coolant to recommended level. Replace thermostat if it is faulty. Clean radiator fins. |
| Engine runs rough | Air intake system is dirty, fuel solenoid is faulty | Inspect and clean air intake system. Check and replace fuel solenoid if necessary. |
| Generator does not start | Faulty starter motor or battery | Check and replace the starter motor if necessary. Check and charge the battery. |
| Generator produces insufficient power | Fuel filter is clogged, governor settings are incorrect | Clean or replace the fuel filter. Adjust governor settings as per manufacturer's instructions. |
| Hot coolant and steam | Before removing the pressure cap, stop the generator set and allow it to cool. Then loosen the pressure cap to relieve pressure. | |
| Hot engine and exhaust system | Do not work on the generator set until it cools. | |
| Low Coolant Temperature (LCT) fault alarms occur even when a block heater is installed and properly functioning. | The LCT sender was installed in the incorrect location on the unit. In this case, the sender was installed in a tee fitting on the return line from the engine block to the block heater. The correct LCT location is in the thermostat housing. | |
| Osed moving parts | Keep hands, feet, hair, clothing, and test leads away from the belts and pulleys when the generator set is running. Replace guards, screens, and covers before operating the generator set. | |
| Parallel Operation | This product includes features intended to support operation in parallel with the utility grid, but these features have not been evaluated for compliance with specific utility interconnection protection standards or requirements. | |
| Servicing the exhaust system. Hot parts | Do not touch hot engine parts. | |
| The LCT sender/switch at the tee of the return line between the engine block and block heater has two terminals, indicating it is an incorrect sender/switch. | Order LCT sender GM39458. Go to step 1.3. | |
| Unbalanced weight | Do not use lifting eyes. Lift the generator set using lifting bars inserted through the lifting holes on the skid. | |
| Voltage reconnection | Affix a notice to the generator set after reconnecting the set to a voltage different from the voltage on the nameplate. Order voltage reconnection decal 246242 from an authorized service distributor/dealer. |
