  • Low oil pressure
    Cause: Operating oil pressure drop below approximately 10 psi
    Fix: None provided in text
  • High coolant temperature
    Cause: Coolant temperature exceed approximately 115° C (240° F)
    Fix: None provided in text
  • Engine overspeed
    Cause: Alternator output frequency exceed approximately 72 Hertz (4,320 alternator rpm)
    Fix: None provided in text
  • Applying electrical loads in excess of the unit’s rated capacity
    Cause: May trip the line breaker or cause the engine/generator to shut down
    Fix: Add up the wattage of all connected electrical lighting, appliance, tool, and motor loads. This total should not be greater than the generator’s rated wattage capacity.
  • Engine shuts down automatically.
    Cause: Low oil pressure, high coolant temperature, or engine overspeed.
  • Engine does not start after cranking for 15 seconds.
    Fix: Release the Start/Stop switch, wait 15 seconds, and try again. Holding the switch for longer than 15 seconds can damage the starter motor.
