How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of moving parts and do not place tools or objects on the generator while running.

  • Inspect mounts: With the engine off, check rubber engine/alternator mounts for cracks or separation. Replace if deteriorated.
  • Check base bolts: Ensure the generator skid is securely bolted to the foundation.
  • Look for loose components: Tighten loose panels, brackets, and exhaust supports that may amplify vibration.
  • Alignment check (advanced): For sets with flexible couplings, have alignment checked by a technician.
