      Matthew BushAug 14, 2025
      If your Snapper Portable Generator runs well without a load but bogs down when loads are connected, it could be due to: 1. A short circuit in a connected load. Disconnect the shorted electrical load. 2. The generator is overloaded. Please, see the section about not overloading the generator. 3. A shorted generator circuit. In this case, contact an authorized service facility.
