GENERAC 16KW SEVICE CALL WITH CHARGER MISSING AC AND OVERCRANK - PART 1

WHEN THE WEATHER CALLS FOR SNOW FOLLOWED BY SLEET AND UP TO HALF AN INCH OF FREEZING RAIN, PEOPLE WANT TO INSURE THAT THEIR GENERATOR IS "READY TO RUN". MEMORIES OF THE ICE STORM OF 98 COME INTO MIND. SO THE SERVICE CALL REVEALED THAT THE "RED" LED WAS ON MEANING THAT THE GENERATOR HAD A PROBLEM THAT WOULD PREVENT IT FROM STARTING. THE ALARM HISTORY LISTED AN "OVERCRANK" WHICH MEANS THAT THE GENERATOR TRIED TO START MULTIPLE TIMES BUT FAILED. (MAYBE IT THOUGHT IT DID BUT NEVER SPUN THE STARTER.) FOLLOWED BY MULTIPLE ALARMS OF "CHARGER MISSING AC" WHICH USUALLY MEANS THAT THE BUILT IN "TRICKLE CHARGER" CAN'T CHARGE THE BATTERY TO THE 12.5VDC THRESHOLD. (IT CAN ALSO MEAN THAT THE T1 FUSE IS BLOWN, THE T1 WIRE BROKEN OR DISLODGED OR THAT THE TRICKLE CHARGER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SO A $5 TO A $1500 PARTS REPLACEMENT.) IN THIS CASE IT APPEARS TO BE THE BATTERY AS THE ROOT CAUSE. SO AN OIL CHANGE AND A NEW BATTERY. FOUR MORE YEARS. FOUR MORE YEARS. GENERAC SAYS THAT THE OIL SHOULD BE CHANGED EVERY 2 YEARS OR 200 HOURS. (2 YEARS IF IT ONLY RUNS THE EXERCISE CYCLE. 200 HOURS IF IT HAS RUN DURING PROLONGED OUTAGES - WITH 24 HOUR OIL LEVEL CHECKS.) ALL THIS 411 SHOULD BE IN YOUR OWNERS MANUAL INCLUDING ON "HOW TO SHUT DOWN YOUR GENERATOR DURING A PROLONGED OUTAGE TO CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL.) HOPE THIS HELPS YOU KNOW YOUR EQUIPMENT BETTER. ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THE RISKS AND CALL A SERVICE TECH IF YOU DON'T. STAY SAFE. YOU HAVE TO LOVE THAT LIQUID TITE FASTENED TO THE FENCE. I'M SURE IT'S SECURED AT THE RIGHT INTERVALS.
