What to do if Briggs & Stratton PRO6500 shuts down during operation?
If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator shuts down during operation, consider these potential causes: 1. **Circuit breaker:** One of the circuit breakers may be open. Try resetting it. 2. **Fault in generator:** There may be a fault in the generator. Contact an authorized service facility. 3. **Connection issues:** A poor connection or defective cord set could be the culprit.

Why Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator runs good at no-load but "bogs" down when loads are connected?
If your Briggs & Stratton Portable Generator runs well with no load but bogs down when loads are connected, it could be due to: 1. **Short circuit:** A short circuit in a connected load. Disconnect the shorted electrical load. 2. **Overload:** The generator is overloaded. See "Don't Overload Generator" section. 3. **Shorted generator circuit:** There is a shorted generator circuit.
