Trouble

 

 

 

Remedy

 

 

 

No power output.

 

Reset circuit breakers CB1, CB3 and/or CB4 (see Section 7-1).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check fuse F1, and replace if necessary (see Section 8-5or 9-7).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes, slip rings, integrated rectifier SR2, and circuit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

boards PC1 and PC2.

 

 

 

Low power output.

 

Check and clean air cleaner as necessary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 8-7or 9-6).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See engine manual.

 

 

 

High power output.

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 8-7or 9-6).

 

 

 

Erratic power output.

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes, slip rings, and field current control board PC2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check receptacle wiring and connections.
