indicate the amount of current that the load is drawing
from the generator.

8. The generator's frequency meter (Figure 45) displays
the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.
9. The generator's voltage meter (Figure 46) displays the
output voltage in VOLTS.

10. If the voltage is not reading at the specified level, use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 47) to
increase or decrease the voltage until you reach the
desired voltage.
7. Let the engine run for 3-5 minutes and listen and check
for any abnormal sounds or smells. Check for fuel leaks,
and noises that would associate with a loose cover or
hardware.
Check the electric motor fan cooling the radiator for
abnormal speed, sound or vibration conditions.
If any of the above mentioned conditions exists, shut-
down the engine and correct the problem before operating
the generator.
6. Turn the ignition key to the START position (Figure 44).
Once the engine starts, release the ignition key and
allow it to return to the PRE-HEAT/RUN position
(Figure 42).
If the engine fails to start after 10 seconds, wait
approximately 30 seconds and repeat steps 5-6.
