RED Switch
• The 10 % or 25% load, fuel consumption.
Idle Consumption Adjustment for Forward and Return, Two Sensor Generator Systems
• Start and run the engine until it is at operating temperature.
• Rotate the Red and Black switches to position “0”.
• With no load, verify that the engine is running at the correct RPM (usually 1200, 1500, or 1800).
• Rotate the Red Switch until the FloNET GPH or LPH reading matches the manufacturer’s
No-Load fuel consumption specification.
Totalizer Calibration for Forward and Return, Two Sensor Generator Systems
• Put a 10% or 25% load on the generator.

BLACK Switch
• Rotate the Black Switch until the GPH reading matches the manufacturer’s 10% or 25% load fuel
consumption listing.
NOTE: Generators turning at 1200, 1500, or 1800 RPM will consume much more fuel at No Load
than propulsion engines. If you are unable to obtain the engine manufacturer’s consumption data
proceed to Part’s II and IV below. You should triple the readings in Part II, Table 1.
