Re: Generator Shutdown
Hi, thank you, I followed your suggestion that and there was a continuity problem. I then inspected the switch and discovered a loose connector, the actual pin on the switch had come loose. I secured it in position and the generator now starts and shuts down as well. Additional information for others with a similar problem: Four Winns has a combined manual for the 248,268,288,298,328 & 348, the manual has all the wiring diagrams for all the electrical installations, however it does not have the diagram for the Electrical Panel on the 288 which includes the generator switch. I sent Four Winns a message via their web-site interface and they mailed me the wiring diagram for the electrical panel and generator installation. This diagram specifies the type of switch and manufacturer, which was the missing piece of the puzzle in the event that I had to replace the switch. In my research I did find the the manual for the 318 shows a similar generator installation to the 288, which was helpful. However having the actual 288 diagram is very helpful. In fact with a piece of equipment that has a useful life of a few decades, it is critical that one has all the engineering information. I am impressed with Four Winns and my generator is working without spending a bucket full of money. Thank you Auger01!
