Voltage does not come up to the rated voltageInternal problem with the generator endCheck for even reading across the lines, if they are not this would mean you probably have a problem with the wiring of the switch or generator. If the generator voltage reads correctly, contact the TEREX service department.
Uneven reading between the legs when applying 24 volts to the field wiresRecheck your wiring connections. After you have the field wire connected start the unit again and check your output voltage. It may still be necessary to flash the fields to restore residual voltage.
