Fault codes

CodeMeaningCauseRemedy
OvercrankOvercrank — Shutdown occurs after 45 seconds of continuous cranking; shutdown occurs after 75 seconds of cyclic cranking (crank 15 seconds, reset 15 seconds, crank 15 seconds, etc. for a total of 75 seconds); shutdown occurs after 15 seconds if engine or starter will not turn (locked rotor)
OverspeedOverspeed — Generator set shuts down immediately if governed frequency exceeds 70 Hz (2100 rpm) on 50 and 60 Hz models
Low Oil PressureLow Oil Pressure — Shutdown occurs approximately 8 seconds after fault; fault occurs when engine oil pressure drops below specified limit
F1Fuse F1 (3-amp) on the controller circuit board protects the engine and controller circuitryIf the generator set will not crank or accessories will not work, and the battery/connections appear okay, one of these fuses may be blownReplace fuse
F2Fuse F2 (3-amp) on the controller circuit board protects the engine and controller circuitryIf the generator set will not crank or accessories will not work, and the battery/connections appear okay, one of these fuses may be blownReplace fuse
F3Fuse F3 (15-amp) on the controller circuit board protects the engine and controller circuitryIf the generator set will not crank or accessories will not work, and the battery/connections appear okay, one of these fuses may be blownReplace fuse
V7Fuse V7 on the AC terminal block (TB2) protects the controller meters and lightsIf the controller lights and meters are not functioning, check the condition of the V7, V8, and V9 fusesReplace fuse
V8Fuse V8 on the AC terminal block (TB2) protects the controller meters and lightsIf the controller lights and meters are not functioning, check the condition of the V7, V8, and V9 fusesReplace fuse
V9Fuse V9 on the AC terminal block (TB2) protects the controller meters and lightsIf the controller lights and meters are not functioning, check the condition of the V7, V8, and V9 fusesReplace fuse
