  If your PowerBoss Portable Generator is running but has no AC output, it could be due to several reasons. First, check if any of the circuit breakers are open and reset them. If that doesn't solve the issue, there might be a fault in the generator itself, and you should contact an authorized service facility. Also, inspect the cord set for poor connections or defects and repair if necessary. Lastly, try connecting a different device that is known to be in good working condition to rule out a problem with the original device.

  If your PowerBoss Portable Generator runs well without any load but bogs down when you connect loads, it could be due to a few reasons. First, a short circuit in a connected load might be the issue; disconnect any electrical load that might be shorted. Another possibility is that the generator is overloaded, so avoid overloading the generator. Finally, there might be a shorted generator circuit, in which case you should contact an authorized service facility.
