DCA-400SSK — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (KEY SWITCH)

7.If the generator is equipped with a ignition switch, turn the key to “Start” position (Figure 38). Once the engine starts, release the key to the “on” position.

10.The ammeter (Figure 42) 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’s alternator.

8.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 39) displays the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

11.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 43) will indicate the oil pressure (kg/ cm2) of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure should be approximately 25 psi.

9.The generator's voltage meter (Figure 40) displays the 120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 41) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.
