Fault codes

CodeMeaningCauseRemedy
101Engine continues to operate at reduced RPM.Indicates that the engine is operating in idle mode. When the set is operating in the RUN mode, grounding the engine idle input causes generator build-up to be inhibited and the engine to be governed at 800 RPM. When ground is removed from this input, the set returns to normal speed and voltage.
102Engine shuts down and will not crank.Indicates local or remote Emergency Stop.To reset the local Emergency Stop button: Pull the button out or turn the switch clockwise (button with arrow) and allow it to pop out. Move the Run/Off/Auto switch to Off. Press the Reset switch. Select Run or Auto, as required.
