17. The tachometer gauge (Figure 52) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1500 RPM’s.

18. Place the main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 53).

19. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 54) and
verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with
respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a
current reading if a load is in use.

20. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
13. If the voltage is not within the specifi ed tolerance use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 48) to
increase or decrease the desired voltage.

14. The ammeter (Figure 49) 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.

15. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 50) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35 to 65
psi. (241~448 kPa).

16. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 51) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 180°~230°F (82°~110°C) (Green Zone).
