17. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 59) and verify
that it reads the anticipated amount of current with
respect to the load. Remember the ammeter will only
display a current reading if the load is in use.
18. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.

13. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 55) will indicate
the oil pressure (kg/ cm 2 ) of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure should be
approximately 25 psi.
14. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 56) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature should be between
165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).

15. The tachometer (Figure 57) will indicate the speed of
the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal
operating conditions this speed should be approximately
1800 RPM’s.
