6.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 45) should be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

10.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 165 and 203 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).

7.The generator's AC-voltmeter (Figure 47) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 47) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

13.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 a load is in use.

9.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 44 to 73 psi. (303~503 kPa). When starting the genera
