GENERATOR STARTUP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)

STARTING (MANUAL)

1.Set the battery ON/OFF switch (Figure 39) to the "ON" position.

Figure 39. Battery Switch (ON)

2.Place the engine speed switch in the "LOW" position (Figure 40).

Figure 40. Engine Speed Switch (Low)

3.Place the MPEC control switch in the MANUAL position to start the engine (Figure 41).

Figure 41. MPEC Control Switch

(Manual Position)

4.Press and hold the engine pre-heat button (Figure 42). Verify that the pre-heat lamp is lit. Continue pressing button until pre-heat cycle is complete. After completion of the pre-heating cycle, the light will go OFF and the engine will start up automatically.

5.Once the engine starts, let the engine run for 12 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 43) in the HIGH (up) position.

Figure 43. Engine Speed Switch (High)

6.The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 44) should be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

Figure 44. Frequency Meter

7.The generator’s ACvoltmeter (Figure 45) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS..

Figure 45. Voltmeter

8.If the voltage is not within the specifi ed tolerance, use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 46) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

9.Verify that the engine running status LED on the MPEC module (Figure 47) is lit (ON) after the engine has started.

Figure 47. Engine Running LED (ON)

10.The ammeter (Figure 48) 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.
