Hello everyone,
I am looking for help in troubleshooting my Chicago Electric 96898 Generator. I was using it out in the desert to power my travel trailer and it was working fine when I shut it down. When I fired it up to use again I had no juice. We were getting ready to go home so no biggie.
Now I am out in the garage and have checked the breakers and they are fine but I have no power going to the breakers so now I need help on where to go next. The troubleshooting steps in the manual consist of 4 steps for no voltage output: (1)check and reset breakers (2) have a qualified tech check the capacitor (3) Check outlets (4) Check power cord.
The only capacitor I found is on the AVR so now I need to know how to test it. Can I use my trusty Fluke meter? And if so how?
Thank You
