DCA-45USI — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE
12.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately
15.Turn the main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers to the ON position (Figure 52).

Circuit Breakers (ON)
16.Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 53) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if the load is in use.
