Running on Generator, no voltage at volt meter

[Rick Young]

Fired up the Koehler generator on our 2007 320DA this afternoon and after moving the switch from shore to generator we have no voltage registering on the meter. Generator seems to be running fine. Is there a circuit breaker that may have tripped. Checked the owners manual and didn't find much help.

There is a switch directly on the genny that may be turned off. This has caught me off guard before. Will start and run fine remotely but send no power. Sounds like it could be that.

Bop,

The switch was the culprit.

Yep had the same problem one time. I always think the worst. It was a simple flip the switch.

I did that myself. That switch is so easy to hit by accident, I felt like such an idiot when a member of another forum told me to check it!

Had the same thing happen on my motorhome genset but the breaker needed replaced fix the issue.FYI I found out to NOT start the genset while still hooked up to shorepower really mess's things up..
