The ATIMA AY3000i may not start and have no power due to the following possible causes:
1. Load connected at startup – A load should not be connected when starting the generator. Always start it with nothing plugged in to allow it to idle and warm up.
2. Use of ethanol fuel – Ethanol fuel can cause engine problems. Only non-ethanol fuel should be used.
3. Improper startup procedure – The choke must be set correctly, and the generator may require multiple pulls to start.
4. Battery charging issues – If charging a battery, incorrect connections or using the wrong type of battery (like VRLA) can cause problems.
5. DC protector off – If charging a battery, ensure the DC protector is turned on before connecting.
6. Poor connections – Loose or reversed battery charger leads can prevent proper operation.
Following proper startup and maintenance procedures is key to preventing these issues.
