Lights Troubleshooting Guide
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Mast lights off,
checking outside the
control box
Light fixture is too hot Allow light to cool 10–15 minutes before restarting.
Loose lighting connections Inspect the connections inside the mast junction box and each mast light
housing/socket.
Damaged or loose
electrical cord
Inspect the mast electrical cord for damage and check the cord connections
inside the control box.
Faulty fuel filter With engine running and lights off, measure voltage and frequency at the GFCI
receptacle. Voltage should indicate 120VAC ± 5%, and frequency should
indicate 60.7 Hz ± 5%. If frequency and voltage are both low (<114VAC, <58
Hz), replace the fuel filter.
Faulty generator capacitor Measure the capacitance of the generator capacitor. If measurement is outside
rating (as indicated on the capacitor), replace the capacitor.
Mast lights off,
checking inside the
control box
Loose lighting connections Inspect the connections inside the control box.
Generator output incorrect Check the incoming voltage to the ballast driver by checking the available
voltage on the GFCI receptacle. Incoming voltage should be 120V ± 5V. If
voltage is incorrect, the generator may require service.
