7. If the engine is running smoothly, place the engine

speed switch (Figure 31) in the

HigH (up) position.

Figure 31. Engine Speed Switch (High)

8. The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 32) should

be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in

Hertz.

Figure 32. Frequency Meter

9. The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 33) will display

the generator’s output in

voltS.

Figure 33. Voltmeter

10. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use

the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 34) to

increase or decrease the desired voltage.

11. The ammeter (Figure 35) 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.

Figure 35. Ammeter (No Load)

12. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 36) will indicate

the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating

conditions the oil pressure is approximately 50 psi.

(345 kPa).

Figure 36. Oil Pressure Gauge

13. The

coolant temperature gauge (Figure 37) will

indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal

operating conditions the coolant temperature should

be approximately 180°F (82°C).

Figure 37. Coolant Temperature Gauge

14. The

tachometer gauge (Figure 38) will indicate the

speed of the engine when the generator is operating.

Under normal operating conditions this speed is

approximately 1800 RPM’s.
