Aksa Incorrect Engine Speed Setting

Generator frequency is consistently too high or too low but stable.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Misadjusted mechanical governor, Incorrect electronic governor setpoint, Wrong controller configuration (50/60 Hz), Sticking throttle linkage

Safety first: Adjust speed only with generator isolated from load.

Confirm required frequency: Check the Aksa nameplate for 50 or 60 Hz rating.
Measure actual frequency: Use a reliable meter at the output terminals.
Adjust governor: On mechanical governors, turn the speed adjustment screw in small increments and recheck frequency. On electronic systems, adjust rated speed in the controller/governor module.
Lubricate linkage: Clean and lightly lubricate throttle linkages if they are stiff or sticking.
