| Symptom | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| High coolant temperature shutdown | Low coolant level | Add coolant if needed. Allow engine to cool, then check coolant level in radiator. Restart engine and check coolant temperature. Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is 210°F (99°C) or more. |
| Low oil pressure shutdown | Low oil level | Verify oil level on dipstick. Add oil, if needed. |
| Mast Lights OFF and ballast indicators on control panel OFF | Lighting connections loose | Check wire connections: Inside control box; Inside each ballast box. |
| Mast Lights OFF but ballast indicators on control panel ON | Light fixture too hot | Allow light fixture to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. |
| Mast Lights ON but light output low | Fixture and/or lens is dirty | Clean components: Reflective surface of light fixture; Inside and outside surface of glass lens. Clean components only with mild soap and water. Other chemicals may damage surfaces and glass. |
| Mast Lights Off, and Ballast Indicators on the Control Panel are Off. | Loose lighting connections | Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. |
| Mast Lights Off, but Ballast Indicators on Control Panel are On. | Light fixture is too hot. | Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. |
| Mast Lights On But the Light Output is Low | Fixture and/or lens is dirty. | Clean reflective surface inside fixture and both inside and outside surface of glass lens. Use mild soap and water to clean lens. Other chemicals may have an adverse effect on the glass. |
