Re: 4700 generac generator cutting off
Okay gentlemen, I have an update on my generator problem. Since yall started making me think outside the box on this issue this is what I came up with. I started thinking of possible over heating concern. I stuck my fingers as far as I could in the , what i am thinking, air inlet on slot on the bottom of generator feeling around. I pulled out a piece of egg crate looking foam,say 4x6, laying on the floor,on the flat side you could see where it looked like its been pressed against what appeared to be a metal grate. I put my phone as far as i could in the intake slot and took a picture. I am thinking this foam piece got sucked up against the fan grate and caused air flow blockage causing the generator to over heat with the added stress of running the ac. I ran the generator with the ac on after removing the foam for approx 35-40 minutes with no issue. I looked up a parts diagram and found the foam is supposed to be attached to the top of the air intake box. Question to ya'll , run it with no foam, I dont why its there, or try and install a new one? Thanks again for all the help.708Views0likes0Comments4700 generac generator cutting off
In have generac 4700 generator in my 2007 hurricane. The generator runs starts and runs fine. The generator will run the a/c fan great for hours,but once you turn the a/c on it will run about 15 minutes then cut off. Sometimes it will start right back up other times you have to wait 5-10 minutes before it will restart. Once the generator starts you can run the fan again for hours until you cut the a/c on 10-15 minutes generator cuts off. HELP3.5KViews0likes12Comments
