Figure 57. Ammeter (No Load)
13. The ammeter (Figure 57) 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.
12. The generator's AC-voltmeter (Figure 55) will display the
generator’s output in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within
the specified tolerance, use the voltage adjustment
control knob (Figure 56) to increase or decrease the
desired voltage.

10. Once the engine has started, let it run for 3-5 minutes,
then turn the throttle handle control (Figure 53) to the
“HIGH” position.
6. Press and hold the engine cold starting button
(Figure 49) until the button illuminates (ON).
14. The engine oil pressure gauge
(Figure 58) will indicate the oil
pressure (kg/ cm
2 ) of the engine.
Under normal operating conditions
the oil pressure is approximately
