Multiquip DCA-25USI2XF, DCA-25USIXF Ignition Switch Start Position, Frequency Meter Hz

DCA-25USIXF/DCA-25USI2XF— GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

3.Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 43). Once the engine starts, release the ignition key and allow it to return to the RUN position (Figure 41).

If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, wait approximately 30 seconds and repeat steps 2-3.

6.The generator's AC-voltmeter (Figure 45) displays the output voltage in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 46) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

4.Let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes, listen and check for any abnormal sounds or smells. Check for fuel leaks, and noises that would associate with a loose cover or hardware.

Check the electric motor fan cooling the radiator for abnormal speed, sound or vibration conditions.

If any of the above mentioned conditions exists, shut- down the engine and correct the problem before operating the generator.

5.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 44) displays the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

7.The ammeter (Figure 47) 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.
