Possible Causes
Damaged enclosure gaskets, Missing or loose access panel screws, Blocked drain holes, Improper installation slope
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn OFF the generator, disconnect the battery negative cable, and ensure all internal components are dry before attempting to start.
- Dry the interior: Use clean rags and, if necessary, a low‑heat blower to dry water from the control panel, wiring, and engine surfaces.
- Inspect gaskets and seals: Check door and panel gaskets for cracks or gaps. Replace worn enclosure gaskets.
- Secure panels: Ensure all access panels are properly aligned and fastened with the correct screws to maintain weather resistance.
- Clear drains: Locate and clear any enclosure drain holes so water can escape.
- Correct site grading: Ensure the concrete pad is level and not allowing water to pool under or around the generator.
