14. Set the engine speed switch (Figure 46) to low to idle
engine, set to high when a load is being applied.
17. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 49) and

with respect to the load. Remember the ammeter
will only display a current reading if the load is in
use.
18. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
