Once the engine starts, let the engine run for 1-2 4.
minutes. Listen for any abnormal noises. If any
abnormalities exist, shut down the engine and correct
the problem. If the engine is running smoothly, place
the engine speed switch (Figure 42) in the HiGH (up)
position.
Engine Speed Switch (High) figure 42.
Verify that the Engine Running status LED on the 5.
mPEc unit (Figure 43) in ON (lit) after the engine has
been started
Engine running LED (ON) figure 43.
The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 44) should be 6.
displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in hertz.
frequency Meter figure 44.
The generator’s Ac-voltmeter (Figure 45) will display 7.
the generator’s output in voltS. If the voltage is not
within the specified tolerance,.
Voltmeter figure 45.
Use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 46) 8.
to increase or decrease the desired voltage.
Voltage Adjust Control knob figure 46.
The ammeter (Figure 47) will indicate 9. 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.
Ammeter (No Load) figure 47.
The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 48) will indicate 10.
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71
psi. (290~490 kPa).
Oil Pressure gauge figure 48.
The 11. coolant temperature gauge (Figure 49) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°c) ( Green Zone).
Coolant Temperature gauge figure 49.
The 12. tachometer gauge (Figure 50) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPm’s.
