Common problems
15- Water Sedimenter - Drain Water
Fix: Drain Water From Water Sediment Separator - Unit cranks, but will not start
Cause: Fuel level low
Fix: Check fuel level in tank. Verify fuel pump operation. - Restricted air filter
Fix: Inspect air filter for blockage. Refer to OEM engine operator’s manual for additional information. - Overspeed or Underspeed Shutdown
Cause: Frequency setting incorrect
Fix: Disconnect all loads and restart unit. Read frequency (Hz) in the LCD window on controller. Frequency should read 60 Hz. If frequency is above 60 Hz, engine speed will need to be adjusted. Refer to the engine operator’s manual for throttle adjustment information. - Oil pressure switch failure
Fix: Refer to OEM engine operator’s manual to identify corrective action. - Oil leaking from engine
Fix: Visually inspect the engine for leaks. - Mast lights ON, low light output
Cause: Fixture and/or lens is dirty Lamp worn due to normal use Damaged or loose electrical connections Generator output incorrect Low transformer output
Fix: 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. Replace lamp. Check the mast coil cord, mast junction box and mast light connections. Check the incoming voltage to the ballast. Incoming voltage should be 120V ±5V. If the voltage is incorrect, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or the generator may require service. The voltage from the transformer should read approximately 400VAC as the light “strikes” (induces an arc), then drop and slowly rise back up to stabilize at 240-260VAC. On hard wired models, remove the mast junction box cover and insert the wire probes into the connector blocks for the light and ground. If proper voltage is not achieved, perform capacitor check to determine if the capacitor or coil needs to be replaced. - Mast Lights On But the Light Output is Low
Cause: Fixture and/or lens is dirty
Fix: 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. - Mast Lights Off, but Ballast Indicators on Control Panel are On
Cause: Light fixture is too hot
Fix: Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. - Mast lights OFF, ballast indicators ON
Cause: Light fixture is too hot Faulty lamp connection Lamp broken Loose lighting connections Damaged or loose electrical cord
Fix: Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. Check that the lamp is tight in the socket. Check for broken arc tube or outer lamp jacket, broken or loose components in lamp envelope, or blackening/deposits inside tube. Check the connections inside the mast junction box and each mast light housing/socket. Check the mast electrical cord for damage and check the cord connections inside the control box. - Mast lights OFF, ballast indicators OFF
Cause: Loose lighting connections Generator output incorrect Low transformer output
Fix: Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. Check the incoming voltage to the ballast by checking the available voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V ±5V. If voltage is incorrect, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. The voltage from the transformer should read approximately 400VAC as the light “strikes” (induces an arc), then drop and slowly rise back up to stabilize at 240-260VAC. On hard wired models, remove the mast junction box cover and insert the wire probes into the connector blocks for the light and ground. If proper voltage is not achieved, perform capacitor check to determine if the capacitor or coil needs to be replaced. - Mast Lights Off, and Ballast Indicators on the Control Panel are Off
Cause: Generator output incorrect. Low transformer output.
Fix: Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. Check the incoming voltage to the ballast by checking the available voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V +/- 5V. If voltage is incorrect, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. - Low oil pressure shutdown
Cause: Low oil level
Fix: Verify oil level on dipstick. Add oil, if needed. - Leakage in coolant hoses, engine block, or water pump
Fix: Inspect for visible leaks. Verify tension of water pump serpentine drive belt. - High coolant temperature shutdown
Cause: Low coolant level
Fix: 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.
