How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Keep clear of moving parts. Do not place hands on vibrating components while running at full speed.

  • Inspect mounts: Check rubber engine-generator mounts for cracks, separation, or oil saturation. Replace if degraded.
  • Tighten hardware: Verify all mounting bolts on engine, alternator, and frame are tight to specified torque.
  • Check base level: Ensure the generator is installed on a level, solid foundation. Shim or re-level if necessary.
  • Rotating components: Inspect cooling fan and flywheel for missing blades or damage. Replace if unbalanced.
