Fault Emergency Treatment and Troubleshooting
There are many sensors in the generator set, which can continuously monitor the operation of the generator. When abnormal conditions occur, such as low lubricating oil pressure, high coolant temperature, etc., an alarm will appear on the control pin of the generator set and the generator set will be shut down. Check the cause of the malfunction. After adjustment or troubleshooting, the generator set can be started again. This section describes the main fault symptoms and troubleshooting methods.
First of all, pay attention to three points:
• High voltages can cause serious injury or death, so extreme care should be taken when troubleshooting
When the generator set is shut down for maintenance due to failure, put the operation control switch in the “stop” position, and remove the negative wire of the battery to avoid accidental starting of the generator set
• When performing troubleshooting, the generator set starts unexpectedly, which will cause serious casualties, so safety measures must be taken before work
When a fault occurs, find out the fault and correct it according to the troubleshooting procedure. If the fault still cannot be rectified, please contact the nearby sales/service center or factory
• Do not attempt repair work without professional training, otherwise it may cause serious injury. This troubleshooting material is for trained technicians only.
Symptoms and troubleshooting methods are as follows:
•The engine high water temperature indicator light is on, and the engine stops
Indicates that the coolant flow rate is too high, or the liquid level is too low, please:
1) Check the coolant level, replenish it if it is too low, and check for leakage Reason it.
2) Check whether the cooling air of the cooling system is in circulation, and remove any obstacles.
3) Check the fan belt, whether it is edged or loose, and if so, tighten it.
4) After the above problems are eliminated, reset the control switch and start again. If the fault still exists, please contact the service center or the factory.
•When the generator set starts and stops, the low oil pressure indicator light is on
Indicates that there may be a problem with the fuel system:
1) Check the fuel tank for oil, leakage or blockage, and remove it if any.
2) Check if the fuel filter is too dirty, if necessary replace it.
3) Check the air filter, whether it is blocked or too dirty, if there is a replacement.
4) If the failure still exists, please contact the service center or factory.
•The engine will not start.
Indicates that the control system or starting system is faulty, and handle it according to the following steps:
1) The battery connection is in poor contact, clean the connection and tighten it.
2) The battery is not charged or fails, recharge or replace it with a new one.
3) If there is still a fault, please contact the service center or factory.
•The engine pressure light comes on and the engine stops(Please also refer to the last)
Check the engine oil level, add oil if necessary, check the oil pipe and filter for leakage, and repair if necessary. Reset the control switch and start again, if the failure still exists, please contact the service center or factory.
•The generator set stops during operation, and the overspeed indicator light is on.
Indicates that the engine speed exceeds the set speed, please contact the service center or factory.
