GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

4.Once the engine starts, 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. If the engine is running smoothly, place the engine speed switch (Figure 42) in the HIGH (up) position.

8.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 47) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71 psi. (290~490 kPa).
