What you can safely check
- Reduce connected loads, especially air conditioners and battery chargers.
- Record whether the fault clears with fewer loads.
Stop and call a technician for
- Internal generator electrical output, inverter, controller, sensors, fuel system, ignition, AC circuit, and engine diagnosis belongs to Cummins service or a qualified generator technician.
Generators can produce carbon monoxide, hot surfaces, fuel hazards, moving-part hazards, and lethal voltage. Shut the generator down and do not open energized compartments unless qualified.
Write this down before you call
- generator model/spec
- hour meter
- fault blink count
- loads running when the shutdown occurred
