Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Engine cranks but won't start1. Out of fuel. 2. Fuel solenoid (FS) is defective 3. Open Wire #14A from Engine Control circuit board. 4. Spark plugs defective. 5. Door on tank not closed.1. Replenish fuel. 2. Replace solenoid.* 3. Reconnect wire. 4. Clean, regap or replace plugs. 5. Close door on tank.
Engine oil level is low.1. Engine starts then shuts down. AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch at OFF, engine continues to run
Engine speed and frequency drop excessively under loadEngine may be underpowered; result of dirty air cleaner, loss of engine compression, faulty fuel settings, or incorrect ignition timingRefer to Section 4.5 Diagnostic Tests for repair procedures
Engine starts hard, runs rough.1. Flame arrestor (air cleaner) plugged or damaged. 2. Plugged fuel line. 3. Defective spark plugs. 4. Fuel pressure incorrect.
Engine won’t crank.1. 15 amp fuse blown. 2. Loose or corroded or defective battery cables. 3. Defective starter contactor. 4. Defective starter motor. 5. Dead or Defective Battery. 6. 5 amp fuse blown.1. Replace fuse. 2. Tighten, clean or replace battery cables as necessary. 3. Replace contactor.* 4. Replace starter motor.* 5. Remove, change or replace battery. 6. Replace fuse.*
Generator Produces High VoltageTEST 1 - CHECK AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE, HIGH -> TEST 11 - CHECK AC OUTPUT FREQUENCY, HIGH -> TEST 12 - CHECK STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL, REFER TO PROBLEM 1, TEST 3 - CALIBRATE VOLTAGE, VOLTAGE OUTPUT AT BREAKER IS BELOW 220 OR ABOVE 270 VOLTS -> VOLTAGE OUTPUT AT BREAKER IS BETWEEN 220-270 VAC -> FREQUENCY O.K., BUT VOLTAGE INCORRECT -> FREQUENCY AND VOLTAGE O.K. -> STOP TESTS
Generator Shuts Down for Under VoltagePerform FBCT, Preliminary Output Voltage Test (if Evolution non-Synergy with Firmware v1.12 or higher), TEST 4 - Fixed Excitation / Rotor Amp Draw, RE-TEST, REPLACE CONTROLLER if necessary, CHECK DMM FUSES, TEST 5 - SENSING CIRCUIT WIRES 11 AND 44, BAD -> TEST 6 - EXCITATION WINDING CIRCUIT 2 AND 6, BAD -> TEST 8 - RESISTANCE CHECK OF ROTOR CIRCUIT, GOOD -> TEST 7 - TEST STATOR, BAD -> PERFORM STATOR INSULATION RESISTANCE, REPLACE STATOR ONLY if necessary, TEST 10 - TEST ROTOR ASSEMBLY, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR AND STATOR, BAD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, BAD -> ROTOR CIRCUIT FAILURE, TEST 9 - CHECK BRUSHES & SLIP RINGS, GOOD -> BAD -> TEST 10 - TEST ROTOR ASSEMBLY, GOOD -> TEST 7 - TEST STATOR, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR ONLY, BAD -> REPLACE ROTOR AND STATOR, PERFORM ROTOR INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST
High Temperature ALARMCheck the inlet/outlet for debris. Check temperature sensor and wiring.
Low Oil Pressure ALARMOccurred while running The default Extended alarm for low oil pressure. Check oil level and pressure.
No AC output from generator.Defective Control Module circuit boardReplace board.*
Overspeed ALARMProlonged (60 Hz on a 50 Hz unit, 72Hz on 60Hz unit) Over specified Hz for 3 seconds. Possible cause: Stepper motor/mixer body assembly issue.
Unstable Voltage or Incorrect Output Which is Not Triggering a ShutdownTEST 1 - CHECK AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE, ERRATIC -> PROCEED TO PROBLEM 3
Voltage and Frequency Drop Excessively When Loads Are AppliedTEST 14 - CHECK VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY UNDER LOAD, BOTH LOW -> TEST 15 - CHECK FOR OVERLOAD CONDITION, NOT OVERLOADED -> GOOD -> IF RECONFIGURED TO LP GAS, VERIFY THAT PROPER PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED (REFER TO INSTALLATION MANUAL), GOOD -> OVERLOADED -> DISCONTINUE TESTING, REDUCE LOADS TO UNIT’S RATED CAPACITY, TEST 12 - CHECK STEPPER MOTOR CONTROL, GOOD -> BAD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, LOOK FOR A SHORTED CONDITION IN A CONNECTED LOAD OR IN ONE OF THE LOAD CIRCUITS, GOOD -> TEST 7 - CHECK STATOR AC POWER WINDINGS, ENGINE CONDITION GOOD -> REPAIR OR REPLACE, BAD -> TEST 16 - CHECK ENGINE CONDITION, GOOD -> GO TO “PROBLEM 18 - ENGINE STARTS HARD AND RUNS ROUGH/LACKS POWER” SECTION 4.3
