Your generator keeps shutting down in summer. Here is why — and how to fix it.
Problem one: poor cooling. Dust blocks the radiator. Coolant cannot circulate efficiently.
Fix: Clean your radiator every 250 hours. Check coolant levels daily in hot climates.
Problem two: engine derating. For every 10°C above 40°C, you lose up to 3 percent power.
Fix: Size your generator 10 to 15 percent larger for hot climate installations.
Problem three: fuel goes bad faster in heat. Bacteria grow and clog your fuel filters.
Fix: Use fuel stabilizers and biocide additives. Replace fuel filters more often in summer.
