Multiquip dca25ssiu3 manual Generator Start-Up Procedure, Ignition Switch Start Position

GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

3.Turn the ignition key to the start position (Figure 40). Once the engine starts, release the ignition key and allow it to return to the RUN position (Figure 38).

If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, wait approximately 30 seconds and repeat steps 3-4.

8.The ammeter (Figure 44) 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.

4.Let the engine run for 1-2 minutes. Listen for any abnormal noises. If any abnormalities exist, shut down the engine and correct the problem.

5.The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 41) should be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

6.The generator’s AC-voltmeter(Figure 42) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS..

7.If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 43) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

9.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 45) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 28 to 71 psi. (193~490 kPa).

10.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 46) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 165°~203°F (74°~95°C) (Green Zone).

11.The tachometer gauge (Figure 47) will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.
