9. The generator's voltage meter (Figure 40) displays the
120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within the
specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage
adjustment control knob (Figure 41) to increase or
decrease the desired voltage.

10. The ammeter (Figure 42) 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.

11. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 43) will indicate
the oil pressure (kg/ cm

)
of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure should be
approximately 25 psi.

12. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 44) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature should be between
165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit .
