Common problems

15
  • The engine will not crank.
    Cause: 1. Fuse blown 2. Loose, corroded or defective battery cables 3. Defective starter contactor 4. Defective starter motor
    Fix: 1. Replace fuse. 2. Tighten, clean or replace as necessary. 3. * 4. *
  • The engine cranks but will not start.
    Cause: 1. Out of fuel 2. Defective fuel solenoid (FS) 3. Open #14 wire from engine control board 4. Defective spark plug(s)
    Fix: 1. Replenish fuel. 2. * 3. * 4. Clean, re-gap or replace plug(s).
  • The engine starts hard and runs rough.
    Cause: 1. Air cleaner plugged or damaged 2. Defective spark plug(s) 3. Fuel regulator not set. 4. Fuel pressure incorrect
    Fix: 1. Check, replace air cleaner. 2. Clean, re-gap or replace plug(s). 3. Set fuel regulator. 4. Confirm fuel pressure to regulator is 10-12” water column (0.36-0.43 psi) for LP, and 5-7” water colum (0.18-0.25 psi) for natural gas.
  • The AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch is set to OFF, but the engine continues to run.
    Cause: 1. Defective switch 2. AUTO/OFF/MANUAL switch wired incorrectly 3. Defective control board
    Fix: 1. * 2. * 3. *
  • Voltage and Frequency Drop Excessively When Loads Are Applied
    Fix: TEST 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
  • Unit consumes large amounts of oil.
    Cause: Break-in procedure not followed (see Section 2.1)
    Fix: *Contact the nearest Authorized Dealer for assistance.
  • Unit consumes large amounts of oil 807
    Fix: Adjust oil to proper level. See 'Engine Oil Recommendations'. Check for oil leaks.
  • There is no transfer to standby after utility source failure.
    Cause: 1. Defective transfer switch coil 2. Defective transfer relay 3. Transfer relay circuit open 4. Defective control logic board
    Fix: 1. * 2. * 3. * 4. *
  • There is no AC output from the generator.
    Cause: 1. Main line circuit breaker open 2. Generator internal failure
    Fix: 1. Reset circuit breaker to ON (or closed). 2. *
  • Engine will not crank 801
    Fix: Correct short circuit condition, replace 7.5A fuse in generator control panel. Tighten, clean or replace battery cables as necessary. Replace defective starter contactor or motor.
  • Engine starts hard and runs rough 803
    Fix: Check, replace air cleaner as necessary. Clean, re-gap or replace spark plugs as necessary. Confirm fuel pressure to regulator is 10-12” water column (0.36-0.43 psi) for LP, and 5-7” water column (0.18-0.25 psi) for natural gas. Move selector to correct position. Verify choke plate moves freely.
  • Engine cranks but will not start 802
    Fix: Replenish fuel/Turn on fuel valve. Replace defective fuel solenoid or open #14 wire from engine control board. Clean, re-gap or replace spark plugs as necessary. Reset valve lash. Verify choke plate moves freely.
  • Wiring Error ALARM 2099
  • Utility failure 0
    Fix: Crank and start engine, transfer load to Generator if Utility returns above 75% nominal for 15 seconds
  • Unstable Voltage or Incorrect Output Which is Not Triggering a Shutdown
    Fix: TEST 1 - CHECK AC OUTPUT VOLTAGE, ERRATIC -> PROCEED TO PROBLEM 3
