Why does my Ridgid generator turn on no output?
Assuming you have an electric start unit, your voltage regulator (the one that controls battery charging) could be bad. This is separate than the VR that controls output voltages fro the generator itself. Have ridgid generator turns on no output, replaced the voltage regulator still no output . Any suggestions thanks
Can a generator run without batteries after starting?
Not all generators can run without batteries after starting. You will need to consult an electrician. Could be breakers. Could be misue of generator (i.e. too much load). The transfer switch must be rated to protect the generator from being over-taxed.
