14. The ammeter (Figure 50) will
indicate 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.

19. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 55) 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.

DANGER - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAZARDS
Before connecting this generator to any building’s electrical system, a
must install an
. Serious damage to the building’s electrical system may occur without this transfer switch.
CAUTION - BACKUP GENERATOR USE
When connecting the generator to a isolation (transfer) switch, ALWAYS have power applied to the generator's internal battery charger. This will ensure that the engine will not fail due to a dead battery.
When the generator is set in the
AUTO mode, the generator will
NOTEin the event of comercial power falling below a
prescribed level by means of a contact closure that is generated automatically by a transfer switch.
