Generator Failure

8.4.1 Low generator-output voltage
ATTENTION! Before working on the System read the section “Safety
first!” on Page 12.
If the produced alternating voltage is too low, switch the load off, in order to relieve the generator. Mostly the problem
already solved. If the output voltage is still too low, even if all load is switched off, the generator runs without load,
you can assume one or more condensers are defective.
8.5 Starting problems
8.6 Starting Problems
8.6.1 Fuel Solenoid Valve (optional)
All engines are equipped with an electric inlet fuel solenoid valve (12V) which switches off the motor.
The fuel solenoid valve is located in front of the injection pump. It opens automatically, if the „START“-button is
pressed on the remote control panel. The solenoid valve is CLOSED when the generator main power is switched
„OFF“. For this reason, it requires a few seconds before the motor comes to a full halt
If the generator fails to start, runs rough, does not reach the proper RPM, or does not stop properly, the first item to
suspect in most cases is the fuel solenoid valve and should be inspected first.
A check of the fuel solenoid valve by removing the plug from the fuel solenoid valve for a short period whilst in ope-
ration (first remove the small retention screw) and replace it immediately. The motor should „react immediately“ by
revving high.If the motor does not react sharply to the reconnection of the solenoid wire, it is a sign that the solenoid
valve could be faulty.

8.6.2 Failure Bypass Switch
The start-failure bypass switch enables an immediate restart facility of the generator, should it cut out, even if this
was caused by over-heating. There is normally a requirement to wait until the motor has cooled down to the correct
temperature. This can last for several hours in certain circumstances, since the generator is enclosed in a sound-
