| Symptom | Remedy |
|---|---|
| Mast light is too hot. | Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. |
| Faulty bulb connection. | Check that the bulb is tight in the socket. |
| Bulb broken. | Check for broken arc tube or outer bulb jacket, broken or loose components in bulb envelope or blackening/deposits inside tube. |
| Generator output incorrect. Check the incoming voltage to the ballast by checking the available voltage on the duplex receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V +/- 5V. | If voltage is incorrect, engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. Contact Magnum Products Technical Service Department for more information. |
| Low transformer output. | Perform capacitor check to determine if the capacitor or coil needs to be replaced. |
