4. Once the engine starts, let the engine run for 1-2
minutes. Listen for any abnormal noises. If any
abnormalities exist, shut down the engine and correct
the problem. If the engine is running smoothly, place
the engine speed switch (Figure 43) in the high (up)
position.

5. Verify that the engine running status LED on the
MPEC module (Figure 44) is lit (ON) after the engine
has started.

6. The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 45) should be
displaying the 50 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.

7. The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 46) will display
the generator’s output in voltS..

8. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 47) to
increase or decrease the desired voltage.

9. The ammeter (Figure 48) will indicate zero amps with
no load applied. When a load is applied, the ammeter
will indicate the amount of current that the load is
drawing from the generator.

10. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 49) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 42 to 71
psi. (290~490 kPa).

11. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) ( Green Zone).
