Symptoms & remedies

SymptomCauseRemedy
WrnMaintenance (Time to Service reminder displayed)Unit is due for maintenance or service (250 hour interval)Reset the running hours to 250: with the unit shut down, power up the controller with the Control On/Off toggle switch; press PAGE SELECT; press the down button to move the > cursor to Engine Protect; 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
Low fuel level shutdownFuel level low (engine controller shuts the engine down when there is 5% of fuel remaining in the tank)Check the fuel level on the LCD window and confirm the generator is sitting level to ensure an accurate reading
Low fuel level shutdownLeaks in the fuel tankCheck for leaks in the fuel tank; the fuel tank should not run dry under normal circumstances
Low fuel level shutdownFuel level sender and connecting wiring damagedCheck the fuel level sender and the connecting wiring for damage; to check for continuity between the sender and the engine controller, remove the appropriate bolts from the control panel to access the inside of the control box and consult the DC wiring diagram for the proper path between the engine controller and the fuel level sender
Low oil pressure shutdownLow engine oil level (engine controller shuts the engine down when the oil pressure is less than 20 psi (138kPa))Check the level of the engine oil with the dipstick; add oil if required
Low oil pressure shutdownOil leaksVisually inspect the engine for oil leaks
Low oil pressure shutdownLoss of oil pressureIf the oil level is good, restart the unit and verify the loss of oil pressure; shut the engine down immediately if the oil pressure value does not read 5 psi (34kPa) within 5 seconds
Low oil pressure shutdownOil pressure senderCheck the oil pressure sender; to identify corrective action, refer to the troubleshooting section of the engine operator's manual provided with the unit
Low coolant level shutdownLow coolant levelAllow the engine to cool and confirm the unit is sitting level to ensure an accurate reading; check the coolant level in the radiator (remove the access panel from the top of the enclosure directly above the radiator to access the radiator cap) and add coolant until it is 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) below the filler neck; secure the radiator cap back into its original position
Low coolant level shutdownVisible leaksInspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks
Low coolant level shutdownCoolant mixed with engine oilCheck the engine oil to verify no coolant has mixed with it (oil will appear milky if coolant is present); consult the engine operator's manual for additional information
High coolant temperature shutdownLow coolant level in the overflow jugCheck the coolant level in the overflow jug; allow the engine to cool, add coolant to the overflow jug if it is low and then check the level of coolant in the radiator (remove the access panel from the top of the enclosure directly above the radiator to access the radiator cap) and add coolant until it is 3/4 in. (1.9 cm) below the filler neck; secure the radiator cap back into its original position
High coolant temperature shutdownHigh coolant temperatureRestart the engine and read the coolant temperature to verify a high coolant temperature shutdown; stop the engine immediately if the coolant temperature is 230°F (110°C) or more
High coolant temperature shutdownRadiator shroud and ducting blockageCheck the radiator shroud and ducting for blockage and remove any foreign matter
High coolant temperature shutdownVisible leaksInspect coolant hoses, engine block and water pump for visible leaks
High coolant temperature shutdownSerpentine drive belt for the water pump tensionCheck the tension of the serpentine drive belt for the water pump
High coolant temperature shutdownEngine overheatingIf no other problems are found, remove the load on the generator and restart the engine; check the coolant temperature and shut the engine down immediately if it starts to overheat; consult the engine operator's manual for additional information on engine overheating
Overcrank shutdownFuel level in the tankCheck the fuel level in the tank
Overcrank shutdownImproper operation of the fuel pumpCheck for proper operation of the fuel pump
Overcrank shutdownAir filter blockageCheck the air filter for blockage
Overcrank shutdownEngine will not startIf the engine will not start, consult the engine operator's manual for additional information on troubleshooting starting problems
Overspeed or underspeed shutdownFrequency above or below 60.0 Hz (engine speed incorrect)Disconnect all loads and restart the generator; read the frequency (Hz) on the LCD display (with no loads on the generator, the frequency should read 60.0 Hz); if the frequency is above or below 60.0 Hz, the engine speed will have to be adjusted — refer to the engine operator's manual for throttle adjustments on mechanical governed units and see the electronic governor manual for electronically controlled units
