You buy a generator incase of a emergency power outage and it doesn't start! You open the cover and see a red LED "OverCrank". Have you been maintaining the generator? Here's a easy fix with several problems to look for and how to avoid these problems before they happen.
👉Generators and electric can be dangerous and deadly if not properly trained, don't try anything said or seen in my videos without proper training.
👉I'm not a DIY channel for homeowners, please call your local Generac dealer for your specific problem.
👉I am a certified Generac technician since 2006. I have been to the residential and commercial classes in Wisconsin. 👉I don't pull any punches, these earlier series from the mid 2005 area had several problems that were corrected in later versions, if you want to know more please check out this and my other videos.
