Skills Learned
There are few things I’ve to check apart from fuel and oil if the generator fail to start;
 Battery failure
a) Generator can’t start if there are loose connection or buildup of lead sulphate
crystals on the plate leading battery not being able to provide enough current.
b) Low voltage. Thus, the battery must have enough voltage to start the generator.
It is important to note the drop-off voltage reading of the battery at the instant
when you start the generator. If the drop-off voltage reading is below 10V,
then you need to replaced or a backup battery.
 Fuse failure
a) It is important to check the entire fuse in the PowerWizard control panel if it is
working by performed Continuity Test using Multimeter.

Status and Updates

 Generator was fueled and the fault rectified, site online as of 3:30pm.
