Why does my Guardian Portable Generator voltage and frequency drop excessively when loads are applied?
The voltage and frequency may drop excessively because the generator is overloaded. Reduce the loads to the unit’s rated capacity. Also, verify that the proper procedure was followed as stated in the owner's manual.
What to do if Guardian Portable Generator produces zero voltage?
The generator may produce zero voltage, you should reset it to “ON” or replace if bad. You can also repair or replace D fuses and retest.
What to do if Guardian Portable Generator produces high voltage at no-load?
If the generator produces high voltage at no-load, replace the defective voltage regulator.
How to fix low voltage on a Guardian Portable Generator at no-load?
To fix low voltage at no-load, adjust the frequency and engine governor. Stop tests.
