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.
