whenever electricity is present. Ensure you comply with all
applicable codes and standards. Electrically ground the
generator set, transfer switch, and related equipment and
electrical circuits. Turn off the main circuit breakers of all
power sources before servicing the equipment. Never contact
electrical leads or appliances when standing in water or on wet
ground because these conditions increase the risk of
electrocution.

severe injury or death. Short circuits can cause bodily injury
and/or equipment damage. Do not contact electrical
connections with tools or jewelry while making adjustments or
repairs. Remove all jewelry before servicing the equipment.
7.1 Introduction
This section contains generator set troubleshooting,
diagnostic, and repair information.
Corrective action and testing often require knowledge of
electrical and electronic circuits. To avoid additional
problems caused by incorrect repairs, have an
authorized service distributor/dealer perform service.
Maintain a record of repairs and adjustments performed
on the equipment. If the procedures in this manual do
not explain how to correct the problem, contact an
authorized distributor/dealer. Use the record to help
describe the problem and repairs or adjustments made
