Possible Causes

Damaged enclosure seals, Blocked drain holes, Improper installation slope, Driving rain entering ventilation openings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Isolate all power sources before working inside a wet enclosure. Do not energize wet electrical components.

  • Dry the enclosure: Use fans and absorbent materials to dry out the interior. Do not use open flames or unapproved heaters.
  • Inspect seals: Check door gaskets, cable entry glands, and roof seams for cracks or gaps. Replace damaged seals with weather-resistant Kubota parts.
  • Clear drains: Ensure any base frame drain holes are open and not clogged with debris.
  • Corrosion check: Inspect electrical terminals, relays, and the controller for corrosion. Clean light corrosion with contact cleaner; replace heavily corroded components.
  • Installation review: Confirm the generator is installed on a level pad with proper overhang and that rainwater is not directed onto the unit from roofs or gutters.
