2 . Open, shorted, or incorrect wiring
3 . Faulty capacitor
4 . Open or shorted field windings
5 . Open diodes
6 . Front panel switch set incorrectly
7 . Circuit breaker tripped
Low output voltage 1 . Engine speed is too slow
with no load 2 . Open diodes
3 . Faulty capacitor
4 . Open or shorted field windings
5 . Voltage setting on front panel
incorrect
High output voltage 1 . Faulty capacitor
with no load 2 . Engine speed is too fast
3 . Voltage setting on front panel
incorrect
Low output voltage 1 . Open diode
under load 2 . Engine speed too slow at full load
3 . Excessive load applied
4 . Voltage setting on front panel
incorrect
Erratic output 1 . Unbalanced engine
voltage 2 . Dirty, corroded, or loose wiring
connection
3 . Unstable load applied
Noisy operation 1 . Loose welder / generators or engine
bolt
2 . Short circuit in welder / generators
field or load
3 . Faulty bearing

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 .
2 . If you are using an extension cord, try a different one .
3 . Try connecting a different device .
1 . Turn off all electrical devices . Unplug all electrical devices . Turn off
generator / welder . Wait several minutes . Restart generator / welder .
Try connecting fewer electrical loads to the generator / welder .
2 . Try disconnecting any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads .
3 . Clean or replace air cleaner .

7 . Reset circuit breaker
1 . Adjust engine speed H
2 . Test diodes, replace if necessary H
3 . Replace capacitor H
4 . Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary H
5 . Adjust setting on front panel
1 . Replace capacitor H
2 . Adjust engine speed H
3 . Adjust setting on front panel
1 . Test diodes, replace if necessary H
2 . Adjust engine speed H
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 H
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 field winding if necessary H
Test load devices for shorts . Replace defective load device .
3 . Replace bearing
