5. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 30) to
increase or decrease the desired voltage.

6. The ammeter (Figure 31) will indicate  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.
Figure 31. Ammeter (No Load)
7. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 32) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35 to 65
psi. (241~448 kPa).

8. The   (Figure 33) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 180°~221°F (82°~105°C) ().

11. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 36) 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.

12. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
