  If your Panasonic Portable Generator is showing an 'Over temperature' warning, do not turn off the power until the internal temperature reduces. After the internal parts cool down, the alarm should disappear, and the machine will resume normal operation. The cause might be excessive duty cycle or foreign substances near the side ventilator or the rear air inlet. Remove any obstructions to prevent internal temperature increase.
