Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
The air cleaner or exhaust system is blocked.Service as necessary.
Low engine temperature is causing too low a cranking speed for starting.A. Plug in, repair or install engine coolant and engine oil heaters. B. Replace the engine oil if it is not of the recommended viscosity for the ambient temperature.
Cranking voltage is too low to reach required cranking speed.A. Clean and tighten or replace the positive (+) and negative (–) battery cable connectors and cables at the battery and the set. B. Recharge or replace the battery. Specific gravity for a fully charged battery is approximately 1.260 at 80° F (27° C).
No output voltage.1. A line circuit breaker is Off. Find out why the circuit breaker was turned Off, make sure it is safe to reconnect power, and then throw the circuit breaker On. 2. A line circuit breaker has Tripped. Shut down the generator set and have service performed as necessary to clear the short circuit or ground fault that caused tripping. Then Reset the circuit breaker and start the set.
THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANK IN RUN OR REMOTE MODEThe Emergency Stop switch has been used.Pull the Emergency Switch button. To reset the engine control, push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. Then push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Run.
The Emergency Stop switch has been used.The switch button is lit.Pull the Emergency Switch button. To reset the engine control, push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. Then push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Run.
A Fault Shutdown is being indicated by one of the red lights on the control panel.Service the set as necessary. To reset the engine control, push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. Then push the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Run.
Cranking voltage is too low to crank the engine.A. Clean and tighten or replace the positive (+) and negative (- ) battery cable connectors and cables at the battery and the set. B. Recharge or replace the battery. Specific gravity for a fully charged battery is approximately 1.260 at 80° F (27° C).
The engine cranks but does not start.There are multiple possible causes and remedies listed, each with a lettered part: 1. A. Open any closed shutoff valve in the fuel supply system. B. Fill the LPG fuel supply tank if less than half full. On cold days the LPG container may have to be kept at least half full to provide the rate of vaporization required to keep up with generator set demand. LPG with more than 2.5 percent butane will not vaporize in ambients below freezing. Use HD-5 grade LPG. 2. A. Secure the spark plug cables at the spark plugs and at the ignition coil(s). B. Replace the spark plugs and/or cables. 3. Service as necessary. 4. A. Plug in, repair or install engine coolant and engine oil heaters. B. Replace the engine oil if it is not of the recommended viscosity for the ambient temperature.
The engine runs until fault shutdown.There are multiple possible causes and remedies listed, each with a lettered part: 1. The OVERSPEED lamp comes on when the engine shuts down. Have service performed as required. 2. The LO OIL PRES lamp comes on when the engine shuts down. Check the engine oil level, repair any oil leaks and fill to the proper level. Then reset engine monitor board A11 by pushing the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. 3. The HI ENG TEMP lamp comes on when the engine shuts down. A. Check the engine coolant level, repair any coolant leaks and refill as necessary. Then reset engine monitor board A11 by pushing the Run-Stop-Remote switch to Stop and the Reset switch to Reset. B. If coolant temperature exceeds 225° F (101° C), clean and service the entire cooling system as required to restore full cooling capacity. 4. The FAULT 1 or FAULT 2 lamp comes on when the engine shuts down. (May be specifically labeled.) Have service performed as required.
The engine lacks power or is unstable.There are multiple possible causes and remedies listed, each with a lettered part: 1. Fuel delivery to the set is inadequate. A. Check for clogged fuel lines and filters. B. Fill the LPG fuel supply tank if less than half full. On cold days the LPG container may have to be kept at least half full to provide the rate of vaporization required to keep up with generator set demand. LPG with more than 2.5 percent butane will not vaporize in ambients below freezing. Use HD-5 grade LPG. 2. The engine air filter element is dirty. Replace the air filter element. 3. A. Secure the spark plug cables at the spark plugs and at the ignition coil(s). B. Replace the spark plugs and/or cables. 4. Service as necessary.
An amber warning lamp is on.1. The PREHET or PRELOP lamp comes on while
THE ENGINE DOES NOT CRANKThe control panel fuse has blown. Cranking voltage is too low to crank the engine.Replace the fuse with one of the same type and amp rating (10 A). If the fuse blows again, look for a loose wire grounded to the block or frame and reconnect or replace it. A. Clean and tighten or replace the positive (+) and negative (- ) battery cable connectors and cables at the battery and the set. B. Recharge or replace the battery.
