DCA-45USI — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

6.Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 44). Once the engine starts, release the ignition key and allow it to return to the PRE-HEAT/RUNposition (Figure 42).

If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, wait approximately 30 seconds and repeat steps 5-6.

9.The generator's voltage meter (Figure 46) displays the output voltage in VOLTS.

(Start Position)

7.Let the engine run for 3-5 minutes and listen and check for any abnormal sounds or smells. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with a loose cover or hardware.

Check the electric motor fan cooling the radiator for abnormal speed, sound or vibration conditions.

If any of the above mentioned conditions exists, shut- down the engine and correct the problem before operating the generator.

8.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 45) displays the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

10.If the voltage is not reading at the specified level, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 47) to increase or decrease the voltage until you reach the desired voltage.

11.The ammeter (Figure 48) will indicate zero amps with no load applied. When a load is applied, this meter will indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing from the generator.
