operational hours that the generator has been in use.
8. Oil Pressure gauge - This gauge indicates the oil
pressure. During normal operation, the gauge should read
in the 'green' zone. When starting the generator, the oil
pressure may read slightly higher, but after the engine
warms up, it should return to the "
green
" zone.
9. Water Temp Gauge - This indicates the temperature of the
coolant. During normal operation this gauge should read
in the 'green' zone.
11. Charging Ammeter Gauge - This gauge indicates the
