• Brændstofsystem: For gasoline, use a fuel stabilizer if storing for extended periods. For propane, ensure connections are secure and free of leaks.
• VFT Datacenter: The built-in VFT Data Center provides real-time updates on maintenance information, including voltage, frequency, and hours of operation. Monitor this display for service reminders.

6. Fejlfinding

If you encounter issues with your generator, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Generator Fails to Start:
  • Check fuel level and ensure the fuel selector is set correctly (gasoline or propane).
  • Kontroller, at batteriet er opladet og korrekt tilsluttet.
  • Sørg for, at motorafbryderen er i "ON"-positionen.
  • Check for any tripped circuit breakers on the control panel.
  • If using propane, ensure the propane tank valve is fully open.
  • A very small number of units may experience a carburetor issue on first startup due to residual gasoline seizing. Allowing the unit to sit for a few days with fresh gasoline may resolve this.
• Ingen strømudgang:
  • Check all AC breakers on the control panel and reset if tripped.
  • Ensure the generator is running at the correct RPM (indicated by frequency on the VFT meter).
  • Verify that connected devices are not exceeding the generator's rated wattage.
• Engine Runs Rough or Shuts Down:
  • Check engine oil level; low oil will trigger automatic shutdown.
  • Ensure the generator is not overloaded.
  • Check for carbon monoxide detection (CO sensor light). Move the generator to a better ventilated area if detected.
  • Inspect the air filter and spark plug for cleanliness and proper function.
