Correct DC wire sizes and connections (route separate from AC). Turn down speed potentiometer (electronic governor) or speed
screw (mechanical governor).
Block heater is operational. Move switch to "manual". Let the engine start & run.
Bleed and prime the fuel system; check for leaks.
Correct as necessary.
After a few minutes, check oil pressure & check for leaks.
On natural gas fueled sets, gas pressure of 4-6 oz. of pressure with
adequate volume is available.
Adjust the speed to 60/50Hz if equipped with electronic governor or
63/53 Hz with mechanical governor.
Gas solenoid valve is properly functioning. If speed is unstable, adjust per engine or governor manual.
Exhaust line and flexible connections are properly installed without

Generator load connectors of proper ampacity are connected to
either the circuit breaker or the emergency side of the transfer
switch.
Test automatic shut-downs (low oil pressure, low coolant level, high
coolant temperature, Overspeed set to ______Hz Other______)
The nameplate voltage & frequency of the Genset matches that of
