Common problems

15
  • Engine cranks but won't start
    Cause: 1. 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.
    Fix: 1. Replenish fuel. 2. Replace solenoid.* 3. Reconnect wire. 4. Clean, regap or replace plugs. 5. Close door on tank.
  • Engine won’t crank.
    Cause: 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.
    Fix: 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.*
  • Engine starts hard, runs rough.
    Cause: 1. Flame arrestor (air cleaner) plugged or damaged. 2. Plugged fuel line. 3. Defective spark plugs. 4. Fuel pressure incorrect.
    Fix: 1. Clean or replace as needed. 2. Unclog fuel line. 3. Clean, regap or replace plugs. 4. Confirm fuel pressure to regulator is as recommended in SPECIFICATIONS.
  • Engine oil level is low.
    Cause: 1. Engine is overheated. 2. Defective Low Oil Pressure Switch 3. Defective Coolant Temperature Switch 4. Defective Control Module circuit board 5. Coolant Level is Low. 6. Defective Low Coolant Level Switch

  • Engine starts then shuts down.
    Cause: AUTO/OFF/MANUAL Switch at OFF, engine continues to run
    Fix: *Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for assistance.
  • No AC output from generator.
    Cause: Defective AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch Open/disconnected wire #15A between AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch and Control Module circuit board.
    Fix: 1. Replace switch.* 2. Reconnect/close wire.
  • Overcrank Shutdown EngProt001
    Fix: Overcrank LED will turn ON. Turn OFF the AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch, then turn switch back to AUTO to reset the generator control board
  • Open/disconnected wire #15A between AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch and Control Module circuit board. 12
  • Not stated Safety004
    Fix: Engine shutdown; restart after temperature returns to safe operating level; add oil and reset generator control board
  • Maintenance Required 99
  • High Coolant Temperature Switch Safety004
    Fix: Generator will automatically restart and the LED will reset once the temperature has returned to a safe operating level
  • Engine is overheated. 5
  • Defective Low Oil Pressure Switch 6
  • Defective Low Coolant Level Switch 10
  • Defective Coolant Temperature Switch 7
