Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
Low Fuel Level Shut-downLow fuel level, Unit not level, Fuel tank leaking, Damaged fuel sender or wiringCheck fuel level in LCD window of controller. Verify unit is sitting level to ensure an accurate reading. Check tank for leaks. Check for continuity between sender and engine controller (see DC Wiring).
Low Oil Pressure ShutdownLow oil level, Oil leaking from engine, Oil pressure senderCheck oil level on dipstick. Add oil, if needed. Visually inspect the engine for leaks. Restart unit and verify loss of pressure. Shut down immediately if pressure does not reach 5 psi (34 kPa) within five seconds. See the OEM engine operator’s manual to identify corrective action.
Low Coolant Level ShutdownLow coolant level, Coolant hoses leaking, Engine block or water pump leakingAllow engine to cool, then check coolant level in radiator. Add coolant if needed. Inspect hoses for leaks. Repair or replace as necessary. Visually inspect for leaks. Verify no coolant has mixed with the engine oil (oil will appear milky). See the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional information.
High Coolant Temperature ShutdownLow coolant level, Blockage in radiator, Leakage in coolant hoses, engine block, or water pumpAdd coolant if needed. Allow engine to cool, then check coolant level in radiator. Restart engine and check coolant temperature (on controller). Stop engine immediately if coolant temperature is 210°F (99°C) or more. Check radiator shroud and ducting for blockage and remove any foreign matter. Inspect for visible leaks. Check tension of water pump serpentine drive belt. Remove load on generator and restart engine. Check coolant temperature and shut engine down immediately if it starts to overheat. See the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional information on engine overheating.
Overcrank ShutdownFuel level low, Check fuel level in tank, Check fuel pump operation, Check air filter for blockageSee the OEM engine operator’s manual for additional information.
Overspeed or Under-speed ShutdownFrequency setting incorrectDisconnect all loads and restart unit. Read frequency (Hz) in the LCD window on controller. Frequency should read 60 Hz. If frequency is above 60 Hz, engine speed will need to be adjusted. Contact Generac Mobile Products to adjust.
