Section 5 - Troubleshooting WARNING Allow engine to cool before performing any troubleshooting procedures. Contacting the engine when it is hot will cause severe personal injury. Table 2 - Troubleshooting Automatic Shutdown Conditions 1. Check fuel level on the Home screen. Verify generator is sitting level for an accurate reading.
Page 50
Troubleshooting Table 2 - Troubleshooting Automatic Shutdown Conditions 1. Check coolant level in the overflow jug. 2. Restart engine and read the coolant temperature to verify a high coolant temperature shutdown. Stop engine immediately if cool- ant temperature is 230°F (110°C) or more. 3.
Section 7 - Options & Accessories GENERATOR CAM LOCK CONNECTIONS OPTION The generator may be equipped with cam lock connections, located behind the lug door next to the generator output connection lugs. These receptacles provide connection points for attachment of external loads to the generator. A large decal on the inside of the connection lug door details proper connections for selected voltages.
DO NOT attach L1, L2 and L3 to the left side and Neutral and Ground to the right side. See Control Panel - MMG330DI4 Control Panel - MMG480DI4 for breaker locations. AUXILIARY FUEL TANK OPTION The auxiliary fuel tank option is designed so the unit can run from an external fuel tank.
Options & Accessories FUEL TRANSFER PUMP OPTION The fuel transfer pump option allows the fuel tank to be refilled from an external bulk fuel source. When the fuel transfer switch is on and the fuel level drops below 15%, the fuel transfer pump will begin pumping fuel from an external bulk fuel source into the fuel tank on the unit.
