How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure area around generator is clear before testing auto start.
- Check controller settings: Enter the Winco controller menu and verify the exercise timer is enabled, with correct day and time.
- Set clock: Correct the internal clock if time/date are wrong.
- Test manual start: Start the generator in MANUAL to confirm it can run. If manual start fails, resolve that first.
- Battery check: Ensure battery voltage is adequate for auto start.
If the unit runs manually but never exercises, the controller may need firmware update or replacement.
