5. The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 41) will display
the generator’s output in
volTs
. If the voltage is not
within the specified tolerance,

6. Use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 42)
to increase or decrease the desired voltage.
Figure 42. Voltage Adjust Control Knob
7. The ammeter (Figure 43) will indicate
zero amps
with
no load applied. When a load is applied, the ammeter
will indicate the amount of current that the load is
drawing from the generator.
Figure 43. Ammeter (No Load)
8. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 44) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35 to 65
psi. (193~586 kPa).
Figure 44. Oil Pressure Gauge
9. The
coolant temperature gauge
(Figure 45) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 180°~225°F (75°~95°C) (
green zone
).

10. The
tachometer gauge
(Figure 46) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.

11. Place the
main, gFci, and aux.
circuit breakers in the
on
position (Figure 47).

12. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 48) and
verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with
respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a
current reading if a load is in use.

13. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
