1. Overload

1.

Reduce load

continually tripping

 

 

 

 

2. Faulty cords or equipment

2. Check for damaged, bare, or frayed wires on equipment. Replace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Incorrect cables used

3.

Check to make sure you are using the DC cables supplied with

 

 

 

 

the actual generator. Using the incorrect cables could result in

 

 

 

 

the crossing over of polarity. Only use the supplied DC cables

 

 

 

 

with the actual generator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Mixed polarity

4.

Check to make sure that the DC cables are connected to the

 

 

 

 

correct battery polarity terminals. That is positive (+) to positive

 

 

 

 

(+) and negative (-) to negative (-)

corrective action to top up the fuel tank

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Generator may not

4.

Check and make sure that the generator is located in a

 

 

be correctly ventilated

 

appropriately ventilated environment. If not relocate the

 

 

with free flowing air

 

generator to a well ventilated location.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Generator fuel cap

5.

Check that the generator fuel cap has the breather located

 

 

breather set on the

 

switch located on the “on” position, allowing air to mix with the

 

 

closed position

 

fuel. If the breather cap is located in the “off” position rotate

 

 

 

 

switch on the cap to the “on” position.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Generator air filter

6.

Remove the air filter. Check to make sure that the air filter is

 

 

may need cleaning

 

clean. If required clean, dry and re-install the air filter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7.

Generator fuel filter

7.

The internal in-line filter may be blocked. Contact your service

 

 

may be blocked

 

agent for a service/replacement of the fuel filter.
