Problem
Cause
Solution
Engine shuts down during
operation.
Out of fuel.
Fill fuel tank.
Low oil level.
Fill crankcase to the proper level. Place generator on a
flat, level surface.
If equipped, when CO Shield
®
shutoffs
occur due to accumulating carbon
monoxide (CO) and if the red LED light
blinks on the panel.
Move generator to an open, outdoor area. Point exhaust
away from people and buildings. Move to fresh air and
get medical help if sick, dizzy, or weak.
Make sure there are no objects creating obstructions
within 5 feet of the generator. Obstructions in the vicinity
of the generator may trap carbon monoxide emissions
near the generator and cause the engine to shutoff.
If the generator’s exhaust is facing into the wind,
the exhaust may be blown back into the generator’s
operating area, creating an accumulation of CO
emissions and triggering an engine shutoff. To avoid an
engine shutoff, turn the generator 45° in either direction
to allow the exhaust emissions to blow away from the
generator. If engine shutoff events continue, readjust
and align the exhaust with the wind direction to blow
away from the generator.
If equipped, when CO Shield
®
shutoffs
occur due to system fault and if the
yellow LED light blinks on the panel.
Start by confirming yellow LED light blinks when/if
generator shuts off. If CO Shield continues to sense the
fault and shuts off, contact technical support.
Clogged spark arrestor.
Clean spark arrestor.
Engine starts and shuts off right
away.

Both CO Shield® LEDs not
blinking 8 times upon start up.
Starting the generator within 1 minute
after being manually shutoff, not a CO
shutoff event.
Wait 1 minute before trying to restart the generator. The
LEDs should then blink eight (8) times.
Generator cannot supply enough
power or overheating.
Generator is overloaded.
Review load and adjust. See “Connecting Electrical
Loads.”
Dirty air filter.
Clean or replace air filter.
Choke in wrong position.
Move choke until it stops under RUN position or push in
completely.
