How to start a PowerLand Inverter when the engine won't start?

  Jon AtkinsAug 1, 2025
  The PowerLand Inverter engine might not start because the engine switch is set to “off”. Ensure the engine switch is set to the “on” position. Other potential causes include a closed fuel valve (turn it to the “open” position), an open choke (close it), an empty gas tank (add gas), contaminated or old gas (change the gas), a dirty spark plug (clean it), a broken spark plug (replace it), the generator not being on a level surface (move it to a level surface), or low oil (add or replace oil).

What to do if PowerLand Inverter engine runs but there is no electrical output?

  Robert GibsonAug 10, 2025
  If your PowerLand Inverter runs but provides no electrical output, the circuit breaker may be off. Set the circuit breaker to the “on” position. Also, try using a different extension cord to rule out bad connecting wires/cables, and connect a different device to check for a bad electrical device.

Why PowerLand PD3G4400E runs but does not support all electrical devices connected?
- J
  jeremiah91Aug 21, 2025
  If your PowerLand Inverter runs but doesn't support all connected electrical devices, it might be overloaded. Try connecting fewer electrical loads to the generator. Also, make sure the gas tank is full. Disconnect any faulty or short-circuited electrical loads, and clean or replace the air cleaner.
