indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing
from the generator.

10. The generator's frequency meter (Figure 52) displays
the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.
11. The generator's voltage meter (Figure 53) displays the
120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the specified
frequency tolerance,

8. Let the engine idle for 3-5 minutes, listen and check for
any abnormal sounds or smells. Check for fuel leaks,
and noises that would associate with a loose cover or
harware. If any of the above mentioned conditions exists,
shut-down the engine and correct the problem.
9. If the engine is running smoothly with no problems, pull
and place the engine throttle lever (Figure 51) in the
“HIGH ” position”.
7. When the preheat lamp luminates (Figure 50), turn the
ignition key to the “START” position. Once the engine
starts, release the ignition key and allow it to return to
the “OPERATION” position (Figure 49).
