To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if my Troy-Bilt Portable Generator will not start or runs rough?
If your Troy-Bilt Portable Generator won't start or runs roughly, there are a couple of things you can check. First, make sure you have enough gasoline by filling the fuel tank. Also, check the oil level; if it's low, fill the crankcase to the proper level or place the generator on a level surface.
What to do if there is no AC output from my Troy-Bilt Portable Generator, but it is running?
If your Troy-Bilt Portable Generator is running but has no AC output, start by checking the circuit breaker and reset it if it's open. Inspect the cord set for poor connections or defects and repair if necessary. Try connecting another device that is in good condition. If these steps don't solve the problem, it may indicate a fault in the generator, requiring you to contact an authorized service facility.
Why does my Troy-Bilt Portable Generator run good at no-load but bogs down when loads are connected?
Your Troy-Bilt Portable Generator might bog down when loads are connected due to several reasons. It could be a short circuit in a connected load, in which case you should disconnect the shorted electrical load. The generator might be overloaded, so consult the "Don't Overload Generator" guidelines. Alternatively, there could be a shorted generator circuit, which requires contacting an authorized service facility.
