Possible Causes
Incorrect time/date settings, Disabled exercise mode, Controller firmware glitch, Internal clock failure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the generator is in AUTO mode and that utility power is present.
- Verify settings: Enter the controller menu and confirm the current time, date, and exercise schedule are set correctly.
- Enable exercise: Make sure the exercise function is turned ON and that the duration is set per DuroStar recommendations.
- Force a manual exercise: Use the controller to start a test run and confirm the generator operates normally.
- Reset controller: If scheduling still fails, perform a controller reset per the manual. Persistent issues may require control board replacement.
