Alternate Method
With the generator running and the end cover removed, momentarily connect a 12 VDC battery across the capacitor's terminals for a fraction of a second (Having the battery across the capacitor longer than a fraction of a second may damage the windings of the generator). This is called "flashing the generator". Stop the unit after doing this and replace the end cover. If you still have no output, look for other reasons or call Baldor Generators for Technical Support at (920)
BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL WHEN USING THE ALTERNATE
METHOD FOR FLASHING THE GENERATOR AS YOU WILL BE
WORKING AROUND FAST, ROTATING COMPONENTS ALONG
WITH LIVE WIRES AND BARE CONNECTIONS.
LOW VOLTAGE OUTPUT
Possible Problems:
1.Generator speed too slow. If the generator is turning too slow, the generator set will produce low or no output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed specified on the nameplate.
2.Broken wires or loose connections. Broken wires or loose connections can cause the generator set to have low or no output voltage. Check all wiring for broken wires and bad/loose connections.
HIGH VOLTAGE OUTPUT
Possible Problems:
1.Generator speed too fast. If the generator is turning too fast the generator set will produce high output voltage. Make sure the generator is turning at the speed specified on the nameplate.
