When I turned the inverter on prior to starting the generator, the problem went away and the generator started and ran normally. Depending on your setup, these generators will use power from the batteries to "assist" if the load is high so make sure you have "no load" on the generator when starting it. I would recommend just making sure the inverter is turned on prior to starting the generator. Mine would sputter and turn off as soon as I turned the air conditioner on when the inverter was turned off. Mine also showed the fault message but went away once the inverter was turned on prior to generator start.

Thanks. I made sure no load and turned the inverter on but no go. Frustrating for sure. Hopefully it’s something simple the service folks can fix.
