DCA10SPX4/DCA10SPXU4 — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

5.The ammeter (Figure 25) will indicate zero amps with no load applied.When a load is applied, the ammeter will indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing from the generator.

8.The generator's AC-voltmeter (Figure 28) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 29) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.
