12.The ammeter (Figure 48) 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’s alternator.

16.The tachometer (Figure 52) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.

13.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate the oil pressure (kg/ cm2) of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 25 psi.

14.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature is between 165 and 215 degrees fahrenheit.

17.Turn the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers to their ON position (Figure 53).

18.Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 54) and verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a current reading if the load is in use.
