Possible Causes

  • •Insufficient coolant level in the coolant sub-tank
  • •Loose fan belt
  • •Coolant leak
  • •Excessively low coolant level (prevents coolant temperature detection)
  • •Low Battery Voltage
  • •Low oil pressure
  • •Low engine oil level
  • •Coolant level is excessively low
  • •Charging is not possible during operation
  • •Engine oil pressure drops below 14 psi (0.98 x 100 kPa) during operation
  • •Battery charging is not possible during operation
  • •Low battery voltage
  • •Engine oil pressure drops below 7 psi (0.48 x100 kPa) during operation
  • •Coolant temperature rises above 212°F (100°C)
  • •Insufficient coolant in the coolant sub-tank
  • •Engine speed increases excessively
  • •Engine fault
  • •Engine malfunction
  • •Air cleaner element becomes clogged during operation
  • •Liquid stored in the spill containment

Suggested Actions

  1. 1Wait for the generator to cool down, check the coolant sub-tank level, and add coolant if it is insufficient
  2. 2Wait for the engine to cool down and inspect for a loose fan belt
  3. 3Wait for the engine to cool down and inspect for a coolant leak
  4. 4Contact authorized distributor where the generator was purchased
  5. 5Stop the engine and allow the engine to cool
  6. 6Check the engine oil level
  7. 7Add engine oil until it reaches the maximum level
  8. 8Check the coolant sub-tank level after the generator cools and add coolant if it is insufficient
  9. 9Always check the coolant level in the radiator coolant sub-tank before starting operation
  10. 10Wait for the generator/engine to cool down
  11. 11Check the coolant sub-tank coolant level
  12. 12Add coolant to the coolant sub-tank if insufficient
  13. 13Inspect for a loose fan belt
  14. 14Inspect for a coolant leak
  15. 15Check the coolant level in the radiator coolant sub-tank before starting operation
  16. 16Contact authorized engine distributor or manufacturer for repair options
  17. 17Immediately stop the engine
  18. 18Clean the air cleaner element
  19. 19Replace the air cleaner element
  20. 20Wait for the engine to cool down
