Possible Causes
Blocked air intake grilles, Failed canopy extraction fan (if fitted), Generator installed too close to walls, High ambient temperature without derating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the generator to cool before touching internal components. Beware of hot surfaces.
- Inspect air paths: Ensure all intake and exhaust grilles on the Himoinsa canopy are clear of debris, vegetation, or stored items.
- Check clearance: Verify that installation clearances around the generator meet Himoinsa recommendations to allow proper airflow.
- Fans and louvers: If fitted, check operation of any electric fans or motorised louvers. Repair or replace failed units.
- Load and ambient: Consider reducing load during extreme ambient temperatures or consult Himoinsa derating guidelines.
