      If your Snapper Portable Generator is running but has no AC output, there are several potential causes. First, check if a circuit breaker has opened and reset it. There may be a fault in the generator, in which case you should contact an authorized service facility. Also, inspect the cord set for poor connections or defects and repair them if needed. Finally, the connected device may be faulty, so try connecting another device that is in good condition.

      If your Snapper Portable Generator runs well without a load but bogs down when you connect devices, it could be due to several reasons. There might be a short circuit in the connected electrical load, so disconnect it. The generator may be overloaded. Another possibility is a shorted generator circuit, in which case you should contact an authorized service facility.
