Section 4. General Troubleshooting
Use the following tables as a quick reference in
troubleshooting individual problems. Generator set
faults are listed by specific groups and include likely
causes and remedies. The source of more detailed
information needed to correct a problem is indicated.
These sources include various sections of this manual,
the Operation and Installation Manual (TP-5605), and
the Yanmar Engine Service Manual (TP-5365).
When troubles occur, don’t overlook simple causes. A
starting problem could be caused, for example, by
improper fuel or an empty fuel tank. Make sure all
electrical connections are secure. Remember the
battery negative must have a good ground.
Corrective action and testing in many cases requires
knowledge of electrical and electronic circuits. It is
recommended that service be done only by authorized
Service dealers/distributors. Improper repair by
unqualified personnel can lead to additional failures.
