Post Installation Checks Continued
20.Verify all loads are disconnected.
21.Start the generator. (Refer to Section 4 Operation for details).
22.The engine should begin to crank and start when the fuel moves through the pipe to the carburetor. If the engine fails to start, refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting.
23.With the engine running, several checks must be made:
a.Verify there are no fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch to the “Stop” position) immediately and repair the leak before proceeding.
b.Verify there are no coolant or oil leaks. If a leak is detected, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch to the “Stop” position) immediately and repair the leak before proceeding.
c.Verify that operation is smooth. If belt squeals, vibrations or other sources of noise exist, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch to the “Stop” position) immediately and repair before proceeding.
d.Verify that the correct voltage exists (line−to−line and line−to−neutral) at the generator and at the transfer switch.
WARNING: Engine coolant is under pressure and is near the boiling point of water when engine is hot. Do not open the coolant system until the engine has completely cooled. Hot coolant can cause severe burns and other injuries. When engine is cool, coolant level can be checked.
24.After the operation checks are made, stop the engine (move the Master Control Switch to the “Stop” position) and wait at least 2 hours for the engine to cool. When the engine is cool, check engine oil and coolant levels as instructed in the engine operation manual.
25.Close all enclosure covers. The post installation checks are now complete.
