Error codes and troubleshooting
| Code | Meaning | What to do | Manual page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blinking RED light | The generator shut off because carbon monoxide is accumulating from the exhaust. The red light in the COsense badge blinks for at least five minutes after the shut-off. | Move the generator to an open outdoor area and point the exhaust away from people and occupied buildings. Once it is in a safe area, it can be restarted and connected. Ventilate the location where it shut down. | 11 |

FAQ
How long does the Generac 3300i run on a tank?
The maker rates it at 4.5 hours at 50 % load (about 1,250 W) on a 1.1-gal tank. A light load such as a refrigerator and lights runs longer; a full load runs shorter.
Can the Generac 3300i start a sump pump or well pump?
Starting surge matters more than running watts: this unit is rated 3300 W peak. That covers a typical 1/2 HP sump pump (about 2150 W to start). Use the calculator with your exact pump.
