12. The ammeter (Figure 48) 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.

13. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate
the oil pressure (kg/ cm
2
)
of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately
25 psi.
14. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature is between 165 and
215 degrees fahrenheit.

16. The tachometer (Figure 52) will indicate the speed of
the engine when the generator is operating. Under normal
operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800
RPM’s.
18. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 54) and verify
it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect
to the load. The ammeter will only display a current
reading if the load is in use.
19. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.

17. Turn the MAIN, GFCI and LOAD circuit breakers to
their ON position (Figure 53).
15. The charging ammeter (Figure 51) will indicate if the
battery is properly charged.
