Multiquip DCA70US13CAN Generator Start-Up Procedure, Engine Speed Switch High, Ammeter No Load

GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE

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

5.Verify that the engine running status LED on the MPEC module (Figure 43) is lit (ON) after the engine has started.

9.The ammeter (Figure 47) 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.

10.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 48) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71 psi. (290~490 kPa).

12.The tachometer gauge (Figure 50 will indicate the speed of the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800 RPM’s.
