GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE
6.The generator’s
10.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 46) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).

7.If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 43) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

11.The tachometer gauge (Figure 47) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.

8.The ammeter (Figure 44) 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 44. Ammeter (No Load)
9.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 45) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71 psi. (290~490 kPa).

12.Place the main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers in the ON position (Figure 48).

13.Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 49) 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.
