Rješavanje problema

This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your Generac generator.

Generator Will Not Start:

• Provjerite nivo goriva: Ensure there is sufficient fresh gasoline in the tank.
• Provjerite nivo ulja: Verify the engine oil level. The low-oil shutdown feature will prevent starting if the oil is too low.
• Battery Charge (Electric Start): For electric start, ensure the battery is fully charged. If not, use the pull start or charge the battery. The battery will charge while the generator is running.
• Položaj čoka: Ensure the choke is in the correct position for starting (fully choked for cold starts, gradually opened as it warms).
• svjećica: Inspect the spark plug for fouling or damage. Clean or replace if necessary. Check the spark plug gap (0.030 inches).
• Solenoid Issue: If the generator does not turn over at all, even with a charged battery, the starter solenoid might be faulty. This component controls power to the starter motor.

COsense® Technology Activation:

• If the COsense® indicator light illuminates and the generator shuts down, it indicates high levels of carbon monoxide. Immediately move the generator to an open, well-ventilated outdoor area. Do not operate it indoors or in enclosed spaces.
