Possible Causes
Blocked intake or exhaust vents, Improper installation clearance, Failed enclosure cooling fan (if equipped), Accumulated debris inside enclosure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the generator and allow it to cool before opening the enclosure.
- Check clearances: Ensure the generator has the minimum side and top clearances specified by A-iPower for airflow.
- Clean vents: Remove leaves, dust, and debris from intake and exhaust louvers. Use a soft brush or low-pressure air.
- Inspect internal fans: If your model has an enclosure fan, verify that it spins freely and runs when the generator is operating. Replace if failed.
- Remove debris: Vacuum out dust and debris from around the engine and alternator.
