Figure 58. Engine Tachometer

16. The tachometer (Figure 58) will indicate the speed of the

engine when the generator is operating. Under normal
operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800
RPM’s.

17. Turn the

main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers to the

ON” position (Figure 59).

15. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 57) will indicate

the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature is between 165 and
215 degrees Fahrenheit.

18. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 60) and verify

it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect
to the load. The ammeter will only display a current
reading if the load is in use.

19. The generator will run until manually stopped or an

abnormal condition occurs.

of the engine. Under normal

operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately
