7. Выпраўленне непаладак

If your generator encounters issues, refer to these common troubleshooting steps:

  • Рухавік не запускаецца:
    • Праверце ўзровень паліва.
    • Check engine oil level (low oil shutdown may be active).
    • Ensure the three-in-one switch knob is in the correct 'ON' or 'CHOKE' position.
    • Праверце свечку запальвання на наяўнасць забруджванняў або пашкоджанняў.
  • Няма магутнасці:
    • Check if the AC breaker has tripped. Reset if necessary.
    • Ensure the generator is not overloaded (Overload Indicator).
    • Пераканайцеся, што ўсе злучэнні надзейныя.
  • Рухавік працуе прыкладна:
    • Check for stale fuel; use fresh gasoline.
    • Агледзіце і ачысціце паветраны фільтр.
    • Праверце свечку запальвання.
  • CO Alert Indicator On:
    • Immediately move the generator to a well-ventilated outdoor area.
    • Allow the generator to cool down and the CO sensor to reset.
