Possible Causes

Clogged SDMO air filter element, Collapsed intake hose, Blocked air intake grille in canopy, Faulty air restriction switch

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Stop the generator and ensure the engine cannot start automatically while working on the intake system.

  • Inspect air filter: Remove the air filter cover and examine the element. Replace if dirty, oily, or damaged using an SDMO-approved filter.
  • Check intake ducting: Inspect hoses from the air filter to the turbocharger or intake manifold for collapse or internal blockage. Replace any deformed hoses.
  • Clean canopy intake: Remove debris from the SDMO canopy air intake grilles and louvers to ensure adequate airflow.
  • Test restriction switch: If fitted, test the air restriction switch or sensor with a multimeter. Replace if it falsely indicates restriction.
  • Reset AL24: After restoring airflow, clear the alarm and run the generator while monitoring intake noise and performance.
