DCA-125USJ — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

9.The generator's frequency meter (Figure 45) should be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

13.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).
