Multiquip manual GDP-5H Initial START-UP/GENERATOR Operation

6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 13 ) to the “OPEN” position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 5.

7.Beforethegeneratorisplacedintooperation,runtheengine for 3-5 minutes. Check for abnormal smells, fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with lose components.

8.Place the idle control switch (Figure 16) in the "OFF" (down) position. This will allow the engine speed to run at speed about 3600 RPM's

2.Place the full power switch (Figure 19) in the 120V position (up).

Placing the idle control switch in

the OFF position (Figure 16) allows

NOTE the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's. When the idle control switch is placed in the up position (ON) (Figure 17),

the generator will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as the load is being applied. When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.

60 Hz Operation

1.Place the 60 Hz, 15 amp circuit breaker (Figure 18) in the ON position.

When the full power switch is in the 120 V

NOTE position, the 240V twist-lock receptacle cannot be used.

3.Read the voltmeter on the front panel of the generator (Figure 20) and verify that 120 VAC is present at the 120V twist-lock and GFCI duplex receptacles. For additional verification of voltage, an external voltmeter can be used to measure the output voltage as shown in Figure 20.

4.Place the full power switch (Figure 21) in the 240V position (down).
