TROUbLESHOOTING
Solution
Move generator to an open, outdoor area. Point
exhaust away from people and buildings. Move
to fresh air and get medical help if sick, dizzy, or
weak.
Make sure there are no objects creating
obstructions within 5 feet of the generator.
Obstructions in the vicinity of the generator
may trap carbon monoxide emissions near the
generator and cause the engine to shutoff.
If the generator's exhaust is facing into the
wind, the exhaust may be blown back into
the generator's operating area, creating an
accumulation of CO emissions and triggering an
engine shutoff. To avoid an engine shutoff, turn
the generator 45° in either direction to allow
the exhaust emissions to blow away from the
generator. If engine shutoff events continue,
readjust and align the exhaust with the wind
direction to blow away from the generator.
Start by confirming yellow LED light blinks when/
if generator shuts off. If CO Shield continues to
sense the fault and shuts off, contact technical
support.
Wait 1 minute before trying to restart the
generator. The LEDs should then blink eight (8)
times.
