Common problems

15
  • Overcrank shut down
    Cause: Low fuel level in tank; improper operation of the fuel pump; blocked air filter; engine will not start
    Fix: Check the fuel level in tank; check for proper operation of the fuel pump; check air filter for blockage; if the engine will not start, consult the engine operation and maintenance manual for additional information on troubleshooting starting problems
  • Low oil pressure shut down
    Cause: Low engine oil level; oil leaks; loss of oil pressure; faulty oil pressure sender
    Fix: Check the level of the engine oil with the dipstick and add oil if required; visually inspect the engine for oil leaks; restart the unit and verify the loss of oil pressure, shutting the engine down immediately if the oil pressure value does not read five psi (34 kPa) within five seconds; check the oil pressure sender and refer to the troubleshooting section of the engine operation and maintenance manual
  • Low coolant level shut down
    Cause: Low coolant level; leaks in coolant hoses, engine block or water pump; coolant mixed with engine oil
    Fix: Allow the engine to cool; check the coolant level in the radiator and add coolant until it is 3/4" below the filler neck, then secure the radiator cap; inspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks; check engine oil to verify no coolant has mixed with it and consult the engine operation and maintenance manual
  • High coolant temperature shut down
    Cause: Low coolant level; blocked radiator shroud and ducting; leaks in coolant hoses, engine block or water pump; loose serpentine drive belt for the water pump; engine overheating
    Fix: Check the coolant level in the overflow jug; restart the engine and read the coolant temperature to verify High Coolant Temperature Shut down, stopping 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" 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, checking the coolant temperature and shutting the engine down immediately if it starts to overheat, and consult the engine operation and maintenance manual
  • Warning (WRN) WRN
  • Sensor fail (FLS) SD
  • Overspeed or underspeed shut down
    Cause: Frequency above or below 60.0 Hz; engine speed requires adjustment
    Fix: Disconnect all loads and restart the generator, reading 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 — see the engine manual for throttle adjustments on mechanical governed units and the electronic governor manual for electronically controlled units
  • Low fuel level shut down
    Cause: Fuel level low or inaccurate reading; leaks in the fuel tank; fuel level sender and connecting wiring damaged
    Fix: Check the fuel level on the LCD window and confirm the generator is sitting level; check for leaks in the fuel tank; check the fuel level sender and the connecting wiring for damage and check for continuity between the sender and the engine controller
  • WrnMaintenance displayed when the unit is due for maintenance or service
    Fix: Reset the "ServiceTime" reminder to the 250 hour interval: with the unit shut down, power up the controller with the "CONTROL ON/OFF" toggle switch; press the "PAGE SELECT" button; press the down button to move the cursor to the "Engine Protect" line; press "ENTER"; press "ENTER" again; press the up button and reset the current run time hour setting to 250; press "ENTER" to save; move the "CONTROL ON/I" toggle switch to the "CONTROL OFF/O" position

  • Shutdown: Generator Line 2 Voltage < V Sd Gen L2 <V
  • Shutdown: Generator Line 1 Voltage < V Sd Gen L1 <V
  • Overspeed or underspeed shutdown
    Cause: Engine speed above or below 60.0 Hz
    Fix: Disconnect all loads and restart the generator and read the frequency (Hz) on the LCD display; if the frequency is above or below 60.0 Hz, adjust the engine speed per the engine operator's manual for throttle adjustments on mechanical governed units and the electronic governor manual for electronically controlled units
