17. The tachometer (Figure 50) will indicate the speed of

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

18. If the engine speed is too high or low, use the high idle

adjust trimmer (Figure 51) located on the control box to
adjust the rated speed of the engine

19. After the engine has been running for a few minutes,

look at the status LED’S on the "MPEC" display (Figure
41) and check it for any abnormal conditions. If any
abnormal conditions exist, take corrective action to solve
the problem.

20. If there are no abnormal problems shown on the “MPEC"

LED display, turn the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit
breakers to their ON position (Figure 52).
