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.

Problem Cause Solution
Both CO Shield®LEDs not blinking 10
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 ten (10)
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 lever in wrong position. Move choke lever until it stops under “RUN”
position or push in completely.
Engine is running but no AC output.
Poor cord connection. Check all connections.
Circuit breaker is open. Reset circuit breaker. Check all circuit breakers.
Faulty brush assembly. Replace brush assembly (Service Center).
Loose wiring. Inspect and tighten wiring connections.
GFCI tripped.
Reset GFCI receptacle breakers by first pushing
the TEST button then the RESET button until
green LED illuminates. Contact the help line.
Other. Contact the help line.
Engine hunts or falters.
Engine governor defective. Contact the help line.
Dirty fuel valve. Clean the fuel valve.
Carburetor is dirty and running lean. Contact the help line.

position or push in completely.
Repeated circuit breaker tripping.
Overload. Review load and adjust. See “Connecting
Electrical Loads.”
