5. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance use

the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 30) to

increase or decrease the desired voltage.

6. The ammeter (Figure 31) 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.

Figure 31. Ammeter (No Load)

7. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 32) will indicate

the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating

conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35 to 65

psi. (241~448 kPa).

Figure 32. Oil Pressure Gauge

8. The

coolant temperature gauge (Figure 33) will

indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal

operating conditions the coolant temperature should

be between 180°~221°F (82°~105°C) (

green zone).

Figure 33. Coolant Temperature Gauge

9. The

tachometer gauge (Figure 34) will indicate the

speed of the engine when the generator is operating.

11. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 36) and

verify it reads the anticipated amount of current with

respect to the load. The ammeter will only display a

current reading if a load is in use.
