Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disable automatic start. Be cautious of slippery surfaces and sharp rusted edges.
- Inspect seals: Check enclosure door gaskets and cable entry points for gaps. Replace damaged seals.
- Drainage: Ensure the concrete pad slopes away from the generator and that water does not pool around the base.
- Ventilation: Improve airflow around the enclosure to reduce condensation. In severe cases, consider a small enclosure heater approved for use.
- Rust treatment: Clean and treat rusted areas with appropriate rust converter and repaint with corrosion-resistant paint.
