Generac 005411-0 Manual De Usuario

If the generator shuts down due to a fault, the indicator will flash a 

code to identify the problem.

2 Flashes =  Low Battery (Voltage falls below 11.0 VDC for one 

• 

minute)

3 Flashes =  Overcrank (Unit does not start through entire start 

• 

cycle)

4 Flashes =  Overspeed (Alternator spins at 4200 rpm/72 Hz 

• 

or greater)

5 Flashes =  Low Oil Pressure (Drops below the 5 psi threshold 

• 

of the switch)

6 Flashes =  High Oil Temperature (Unit shuts down when tem-

• 

perature switch limit is reached)

7 Flashes =  Underspeed  (Alternator spins less than 3240 

• 

rpm/54 Hz for three (3) seconds)

A remote mounted Start/Stop Panel is available that allows start-

ing and stopping the generator engine conveniently from inside the 

vehicle. The remote panel includes a Start/Stop switch, hourmeter, 

generator run lamp, and a wire harness.

This engine is equipped with an automatic choke that consists of 

two main components: a choke solenoid and prechoke (Gasoline 

only.).

During engine cranking (Start/Stop switch at START), a solid-state 

choke module signals the choke solenoid to activate and cycle 

(choke on/choke off) until the engine starts. The choke solenoid 

thus opens and closes the carburetor choke valve only when 

the engine is cranking. When the engine starts, the choke stops 

cycling (Gasoline only.).

The choke system also has a temperature-sensitive metal strip that 

adjusts choke valve angle according to ambient temperatures (i.e., 

in cold ambient temperatures, choke valve closes more). Once the 

engine starts, an element heats the temperature-sensitive strip to 

a normal operating condition, opening the choke valve. This may 

take about three minutes in cooler weather (Gasoline only.).

Generator installation must have been properly completed so it 

complies with all applicable codes, standards and regulations 

and with the manufacturer's recommendations. (See Part II - 

Installation Instructions.)

Have the engine crankcase properly serviced with  the recommend-

ed oil before starting. Refer to sections "Engine Specifications", 

"Checking the Engine Oil Level" and "Changing the Engine Oil and/

or Oil Filter" for oil servicing procedures and recommendations.

n

 

 Any attempt to crank or start the engine 

before it has been properly serviced it with 

the recommended oil may result in an engine 

failure.

The engine must have an adequate supply of proper fuel to oper-

ate. Before starting it, check that sufficient fuel is available.

Air inlet and outlet openings in the generator compartment must 

be open and unobstructed for continued proper operation. Without 

sufficient cooling and ventilating airflow, the engine/generator 

quickly overheats, which causes it to shut down and may damage 

the generator.
