7.4 TESTING UNDER LOAD
Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-
cent 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. You must not allow the
unit to overheat during prolonged operation.
NOTE:
The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-
perature switch. The switch has normally open
(N.O.) contacts. When the engine temperature is
too high, switch contacts close, and the engine
shuts down automatically.
GENERAC RECOMMENDS THAT YOU TEST THE
GENERATOR FOR ADEQUATE COOLING.
