Common problems

15
  • 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.
  • Low Oil Pressure Shutdown
    Cause: Engine oil level low; Oil leaks; Oil pressure sender faulty
    Fix: Check the level of the engine oil with the dipstick and add oil if required; Visually inspect the engine for oil leaks; If the oil level is good, restart the unit and verify the loss of oil pressure and shut the engine down immediately if the oil pressure value does not read 5 psi (34 kPa) within five seconds; Check the oil pressure sender and refer to the troubleshooting section of the engine operator's manual
  • High Coolant Temperature Shutdown
    Cause: Coolant level low; Radiator shroud and ducting blocked; Visible leaks in coolant hoses, engine block or water pump; Serpentine drive belt for the water pump loose
    Fix: Check the coolant level in the overflow jug; Restart the engine and read the coolant temperature to verify High Coolant Temperature Shutdown and stop the engine immediately if the coolant temperature is 230°F (110°C) or more; Allow the engine to cool, add coolant to the overflow jug if it is low and check the level of coolant in the radiator, adding coolant until it is 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) below the filler neck and securing the radiator cap; Check the radiator shroud and ducting for blockage and remove any foreign matter; Inspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks; Check the tension of the serpentine drive belt for the water pump; If no other problems are found, remove the load on the generator and restart the engine, check the coolant temperature and shut the engine down immediately if it starts to overheat, and consult the engine operator's manual
  • Mast Lights Off, and Ballast Indicators on the Control Panel are Off.
    Cause: Loose lighting connections
    Fix: Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box.
  • Unit cranks, but will not start
    Cause: Fuel level low
    Fix: Check fuel level in tank.
  • Overspeed or Underspeed Shutdown
    Cause: Engine speed not at 60.0 Hz with no loads on the generator
    Fix: Disconnect all loads and restart the generator and read the frequency (Hz) on the LCD display (with no loads the frequency should read 60.0 Hz); If the frequency is above or below 60.0 Hz, adjust the engine speed per the engine operator's manual for throttle adjustments on mechanically governed units and the electronic governor manual for electronically controlled units; MMG55FHDCAN6 units will need to contact John Deere with speed related issues since the engine is governed by the John Deere Electronic Engine Control Unit (ECU)
  • WrnMaintenance — The period for servicing is set by the WrnMaintenance setpoint. The protection comes active if the running hours of the engine reach this value. 31
  • Wrn RA15 fail — Warning alarm in case of lost connection to IGL=RA15 module. 30
  • Wrn ECU Alarm — ECU alarm list is not empty. 29
  • Vgen<, > — The generator voltage is out of limits given by Gen <V and Gen <V setpoints. 27
  • Vgen unbal — The generator voltage is unbalanced more than the value of Volt unbal setpoint. 28
  • Underspeed — During starting of the engine, when the RPM reaches the value of Starting RPM setpoint, the starter is switched off and the speed of the engine can drop under Start RPM again. Then the Underspeed protection becomes active. Protection evaluation starts 5 seconds after startup. 26
  • Ubat — Battery voltage is out of limits given by Batt Undervolt setpoints. 25
  • TimingSensor SPN:637
