How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Confirm that no emergency condition exists before resetting any E-stop.

Reset E-stop: Locate the red emergency stop pushbutton on the Winco generator enclosure. Twist or pull to reset, depending on design.
Inspect wiring: Check the low-voltage control wiring from the E-stop to the controller for damage, loose terminals, or corrosion.
Test switch: With power off, use a meter to verify continuity through the E-stop switch when reset. Replace if it does not close properly.

After restoring the E-stop circuit, clear the E13 code and test a manual start.
