NOTE:

The generator set was thoroughly tested and adjusted at the

factory before shipping. No additional adjustment should be

necessary. Only qualified service technicians who have been

trained should perform adjustments outlined in this manual.

3.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD

Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 percent of the unit's

rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied. During this part

of the test, check that the unit is not running excessively hot and that

adequate cooling airflow is available. Do not allow the unit to overheat

during prolonged operation.

NOTE:

The generator engine is equipped with a high temperature

switch. The switch has normally closed (N.C.) contacts. When

the engine temperature is too high, switch contacts close, and

the engine shuts down automatically.
THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS TESTING THE GENERA-

TOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.
