NOTE:
The generator set was thoroughly tested and adjusted at the
factory before shipping. No additional adjustment should be
necessary. Only qualified service technicians who have been
trained should perform adjustments outlined in this manual.
3.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD
Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 percent of the unit's
rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied. During this part
of the test, check that the unit is not running excessively hot and that
adequate cooling airflow is available. Do not allow the unit to overheat
during prolonged operation.
NOTE:
The generator engine is equipped with a high temperature
switch. The switch has normally closed (N.C.) contacts. When
the engine temperature is too high, switch contacts close, and
the engine shuts down automatically.
THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS TESTING THE GENERA-
TOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.
