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

13.The tachometer (Figure 45) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed should be approximately 1800 RPM’s.

16.Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 48) and verify that it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. Remember the ammeter will only display a current reading if the load is in use.
