1. | Turn off utility power to the main distribution | ||||
|
| panel in the house. This can be done by switching | |||
|
| the service main breaker to the off or open posi- | |||
|
| tion. |
|
|
|
2. | Allow the generator to start. Before loading the | ||||
|
| generator, confirm that the No Load Frequency, | |||
|
| with the roof open and door off, is set to | |||
|
| Hz. Transfer load to emergency circuits. | |||
3. | Turn on appliances, lights, pumps, etc., that are | ||||
|
| on the emergency circuits in an attempt to fully | |||
|
| load the generator. Be cautious not to overload | |||
|
| the generator. Use the following chart as a guide: | |||

|
|
| 7 kW | 50.0 amps | 25.0 amps | |
|
|
|

4. | When 3/4 load has been achieved. Connect a fre- | ||||
|
| quency meter to the output lugs of the generator’s | |||
|
| main line circuit breaker. |
|
| |
5. | The fuel regulator is fitted with one adjustment | ||||
|
| screw. While watching the frequency meter, slowly | |||
|
| turn the adjustment screw clockwise or counter- | |||
|
| clockwise until the highest frequency is read on | |||
|
| the meter. Only limited adjustment is available | |||
|
| because of the set pin. Under no circumstances | |||
|
| should any of the pins be removed (Figure 2.1). |

Do not make any unnecessary adjustments. Factory settings are correct for most applica- tions. However, when making adjustments, be careful to avoid overspeeding the engine.
If this procedure or the test equipment is not avail- able, locate the nearest Dealer and they can perform the adjustments.
NOTE:
A service fee may be charged for this adjustment.
