D.2.1 Low generator-output voltage
ATTENTION! Before working on the System read the section “Safety Precautions” on
Page 15.
If the produced alternating voltage is too low, switch the load off, in order to relieve the generator.
Mostly the problem already solved. If the output voltage is still too low, even if all load is switched
off, the generator runs without load, you can assume one or more condensers are defective.
D.3 Starting problems
D.3.1 Fuel solenoid valve
For start problems the possibility of an error exists with the solenoid for engine stop or fuel sole-
noid valve, which both effect affect simultaneous on the fuel system.
The fuel solenoid valve is located in front of the injection pump. It opens automatically, if the
"START"-button is pressed on the remote control panel. The solenoid valve is CLOSED when the
generator main power is switched "OFF". For this reason, it requires a few seconds before the
motor comes to a full halt.
If the generator fails to start, runs rough, does not reach the proper RPM, or does not stop pro-
perly, the first item to suspect in most cases is the fuel solenoid valve and should be inspected
first.
A check of the fuel solenoid valve by removing the plug from the fuel solenoid valve for a short
period whilst in operation (first remove the small retention screw) and replace it immediately. The
motor should "react immediately" by revving high.If the motor does not react sharply to the recon-
nection of the solenoid wire, it is a sign that the solenoid valve could be faulty.
