● Check plug with a brown & blue wires is not loose.

● Oil change and oil filter replaced highly recommended.

● Check the radiator fins are not obstructed/dirty.
● Check the radiator is not damaged or leaking coolant.

Possible Cause

Check

High Hz/Frequency could indicate the engine is running too fast.

● Using the fuel pump prime button, prime the fuel system 

to expel any trapped air within.

Fuel System

If none of the above solve the issue then a closer inspection of the engine would be advised e.g. 
check that no-one has adjusted the engine speed - consult an engine specialist.

Shutdown

Coolant Level

● 

Check the temperature switch operation - Ref. wiring 

diagram - replace if necessary.   

DO NOT USE THE 

GENERATOR WITHOUT A TEMPERATURE SWITCH FITTED.         

Temperature Switch

● Check wiring from the oil pressure switch to the DSE 3110 

- Ref. wiring diagram.

Service

High Engine Temperature

 shutdown could be for two main reasons, either the 

engine has overheated or the temperature switch or wiring is faulty.

If the temperature gauge shows a high temperature (> 100

⁰C) and the generator is shutting 

down with all the above checked, then the issue could be an engine component e.g. 
thermostat, water pump etc. - consult an engine specialist.

High Hz/Frequency

The DSE 3110 is displaying the correct no-load frequency but the generator shuts down 

with the 

Low AC Voltage

 icon displayed.

● 

Check for continuity and wiring on the AC 2A reset button 

(brown wire from DSE 3110) - Replace if necessary.

2A Reset Button

● Check main alternator output - AC alternator tests would 

be advisable.

Automatic Voltage Regulator -                                 

AVR

● Check all wiring and circuits associated with the AVR.

● Start and run the generator and measure the AC voltage 

across the brown & blue wires - this should measure 
approximately 115V or 230V AC.

DSE 3110 Control Module

High Engine 

Temperature

Canopy Obstructions

● 

Check the generator canopy has no obstructions over any 

vented areas - Also see 

Operating Environment

 in this 

handbook.

Fault occurs after the 

engine has fired

● Check associated wiring from the temperature switch to 

the DSE 3110 - Ref. wiring diagram.

Faulty Wiring

● Check the level of the water and antifreeze level - fill with 

a 50/50 mix as indicated by the sticker next to the 
inspection flap.   

CAUTION HOT STEAM CAN BURN!

Radiator

● Check the condition and tension of the fan belt - tighten 

or replace if necessary.

The DSE 3110 is displaying the correct no-load frequency but the generator shuts down 

with the 

High AC Voltage

 

shutdown icon displayed.

● Check main alternator output - AC alternator tests would 

be advisable.

Automatic Voltage Regulator                                

AVR

● Check all wiring and circuits associated with the AVR.

Fail To Stop

 fault is mostly caused by the oil pressure switch not operating correctly - 

See the 

Service & Maintenance

 section in this handbook for a detailed solution.

● 

Check the oil pressure switch operation - Switch normally 

closed when engine is at rest and open when engine 
running - Remove, clean or replace if necessary.
