DCA-70SSJU SERIES — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)
15.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 59) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).
18.Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 62) 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.

16.The tachometer gauge (Figure 60) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.
