Troubleshooting
22Symptoms & remedies
| Symptom | Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| Low oil pressure shutdown | Low oil level | Verify oil level on dipstick. Add oil, if needed. |
| Oil leaking from engine | Visually inspect the engine for leaks. | |
| Oil pressure switch failure | Refer to OEM engine operator’s manual to identify corrective action. | |
| High coolant temperature shutdown | Low coolant level | Add coolant if needed. Allow engine to cool, then check coolant level in radiator. Restart engine and check coolant temperature. Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is 210°F (99°C) or more. |
| Unit cranks, but will not start | Fuel level low | Check fuel level in tank. Verify fuel pump operation. |
| Mast Lights Off, but Ballast Indicators on Control Panel are On. | Light fixture is too hot. Faulty lamp connection. Lamp broken | Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. Check that the lamp is tight in the socket. Check for broken arc tube or outer lamp jacket, broken or loose components in lamp envelope, or blackening/deposits inside tube. |
| Mast Lights Off, and Ballast Indicators on the Control Panel are Off. | Loose lighting connections. Generator output incorrect. Low transformer output | Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. Check the incoming voltage to the ballast by checking the available voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V +/- 5V. If voltage is incorrect, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. |
| Mast Lights On But the Light Output is Low | Fixture and/or lens is dirty. Lamp worn due to normal use. Damaged or loose electrical connections. Generator output incorrect. Low transformer output | 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. Replace lamp. Check the mast coil cord, mast junction box and mast light connections. |
| Engine starting issues | Faulty glow plugs | Check glow plugs |
| Engine oil and filter need replacement | Replace engine oil and oil filter | |
| Engine oil and filter need replacement after initial 50 hours of operation | Change the engine oil and oil filter after the initial 50 hours of operation, then at the appropriate interval thereafter. | |
| Air cleaner element needs replacement | Replace air filter element yearly, or after six cleanings, whichever occurs first. | |
| Engine oil and filter need replacement annually | Replace air filter element yearly, or after six cleanings, whichever occurs first. | |
| Mast lights off but ballast indicators on control panel are on | 1. Mast light is too hot. Allow light to cool 10-15 minutes before restarting. 2. Faulty bulb connection. Check that the bulb is tight in the socket. 3. Bulb broken. Check for broken arc tube or outer bulb jacket, broken or loose components in bulb envelope or blackening/deposits inside tube. 4. Check the connections inside the mast junction box and each mast light housing/socket. 5. Check the mast electrical cord for damage and check the cord connections inside the control box. | |
| Mast lights off and ballast indicators on control panel are off | 1. Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. 2. 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, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. 3. Low transformer output. The voltage from the transformer should read approximately 400 VAC as the light “strikes” (induces an arc), then drop and slowly rise back up to stabilize at 240-260 VAC. On quick disconnect models, measure across the junction box terminals when the light is unplugged. On hard wired models, remove the mast junction box cover and insert the wire probes into the connector blocks for the light and ground. If proper voltage is not achieved, perform capacitor check to determine if the capacitor or coil needs to be replaced. | |
| Mast lights OFF but ballast indicators ON | Light fixture is too hot | Allow light to cool 10–15 minutes before restarting. |
| Mast lights OFF and ballast indications OFF | Loose lighting connections | Check the connections inside the control box and inside each ballast box. |
| Generator output incorrect | Check the incoming voltage to the ballast by checking the available voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V ±5V. | If voltage is incorrect, the engine speed may need to be adjusted or generator may require service. |
| Low transformer output | The voltage from the transformer should read approximately 400VAC as the light “strikes” (induces an arc), then drop and slowly rise back up to stabilize at 240–260VAC. On hard wired models, remove the mast junction box cover and insert the wire probes into the connector blocks for the light and ground. If proper voltage is not achieved, perform capacitor check to determine if the capacitor or coil needs to be replaced. | |
| Mast lights ON but power output is low | Fixture and/or lens is dirty | 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. |
| Blockage in radiator | Inspect radiator shroud and ducting for blockage and remove any foreign matter. | |
| Leakage in coolant hoses, engine block, or water pump | Inspect for visible leaks. Verify tension of water pump serpentine drive belt. |
