GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL MODE)

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 43) in the HIGH (up) position.

8.If the voltage is not within the specifi ed tolerance use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 47) to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

5.Verify that the engine running status LED on the MPEC module (Figure 44) is lit (ON) after the engine has started.

6.The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 45) should be displaying the 50 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

7.The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 46) will display the generator’s output in VOLTS..

9.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.

10.The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71 psi. (290~490 kPa).

11.The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal operating conditions the coolant temperature should be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).
