Generator starts and runs but frequently stalls when large appliances (like air conditioners) start.

Safety first: Open the generator main breaker before changing load connections. Avoid working on live circuits.

• Assess load: Add up the running and starting wattage of all loads connected to the All Power America standby system. Compare to the generator's rated and surge capacity.
• Stagger loads: Configure high inrush loads (HVAC, pumps) to start at different times or use soft-start kits where applicable.
• Check engine tune: Ensure air filter, spark plugs, and fuel system are in good condition so the engine can respond quickly to load changes.
• Consider capacity upgrade: If total load exceeds generator capability, consult with an installer about upgrading the generator or implementing load management.
