8.Tachometer - Indicates engine speed in RPMs for 60Hz operation. Normal operation is 1800 RPMs when the load is applied. A built in hour meter will record the number of operational hours that the generator has been in use.
8.Oil Pressure gauge - This gauge indicates the oil pressure. During normal operation, the gauge should read in the 'green' zone. When starting the generator, the oil pressure may read slightly higher, but after the engine warms up, it should return to the "green" zone.
9.WaterTemp Gauge - This indicates the temperature of the coolant. During normal operation this gauge should read in the 'green' zone.
11.Charging Ammeter Gauge - This gauge indicates the current supplied by the alternator, which supplies current from the generator's control circuits and battery charging system.
12.Fuel Level Gauge
13.Engine Speed Switch (S/N 3699248~) – This switch changes the engine speed from low (idle) to high.
