  • Loose fan belt
  • Coolant leak
  • Excessively low coolant level
  • Engine fault causing engine speed to increase excessively
  • Malfunction in the engine
  • Liquid stored in the spill containment exceeds approximately 11.4 gal (43 liters)

  9. 9Wait for the engine to cool down and inspect for a loose fan belt or coolant leak
  10. 10Check the coolant level in the radiator coolant sub-tank before starting operation
  11. 11Contact authorized distributor where the generator was purchased
