Possible Causes

Loose mounting bolts to concrete pad, Deteriorated vibration isolators, Imbalanced alternator rotor, Misaligned engine‑alternator coupling

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn the generator OFF and ensure it cannot start automatically. Do not stand on or lean against a vibrating unit while running.

  • Check base mounting: Verify that the Genergy base frame is securely anchored to the concrete pad using the recommended hardware. Tighten loose anchors.
  • Inspect vibration isolators: Look under the base for rubber or spring isolators. Replace any that are cracked, oil‑soaked, or collapsed.
  • Look for obvious imbalance: Inspect the alternator rotor and cooling fan for missing blades, weights, or foreign objects.
  • Professional balancing: If vibration persists, a Genergy technician should perform rotor balancing and coupling alignment checks using proper instruments.
