11. The generator's frequency meter (Figure 43) displays
the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

12. The generator's voltage meter (Figure 44) displays the
120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the
specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage
adjustment control knob (Figure 45) to increase or
decrease the desired voltage.
14. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 47) will indicate
the oil pressure (kg/ cm 2 ) of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure should be
approximately 25 psi.
15. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 48) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature should be between
105 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit (Green Zone).

13. The ammeter (Figure 46) will indicate zero amps with no
load applied. When a load is applied, this meter will
indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing
from the generator’s alternator.
16. Set the engine speed switch (Figure 49) to low to idle
engine, set to high when a load is being applied.
