Corrective Action
1. Set engine switch to "ON".
2. Turn fuel valve to "OPEN" position.
3. Close the choke.
4. Add gas.
5. Change the gas in the engine.
6. Clean spark plug.
7. Replace spark plug.
8. Move unit to a level surface to prevent low oil shutdown from triggering.
9. Add or replace oil.
1. Wait for 2 minutes and push the circuit reset button to the "ON" position and
flip the GFCI breaker to the "ON" position.
2. If you are using an extension cord, use only heavy-duty extension cords that
are specifically designed for outdoor use. Make sure the wattage rating for
each cord exceeds the total wattage of all appliances connected to the unit.
3. Try connecting a different device.
1. Turn off all electrical devices. Unplug all electrical devices. Turn off unit. Wait
several minutes. Restart unit. Try connecting fewer electrical loads to the unit.
2. Try disconnecting any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads.
3. Clean or replace air cleaner.

5. Adjust setting on front panel
1. Replace capacitor ★
2. Adjust engine speed ★
3. Adjust setting on front panel
1. Test diodes, replace if necessary ★
2. Adjust engine speed ★
3. Reduce the applied load
4. Adjust setting on front panel
1. Refer to engine manual
2. Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all wiring ★
3. Remove all loads, then apply each one individually to determine which one is
causing erratic function
1. Tighten all mountings
2. Test winding resistance, replace fi eld winding if necessary ★
Test load devices for shorts. Replace defective load device.
3. Replace bearing
