The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate
11.
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 28 to 85
psi. (193~586 kPa).

The
12.
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).

The
13.
tachometer gauge (Figure 51) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.
