GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

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

10.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 46) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).
