16. Place the voltage output selector switch in the appropriate position.
17. Verify all loads are disconnected.
18. Verify the Master Control is in the “Stop” position.
Connect the engine starting battery to the starter. Verify it is installed correctly.
19. Verify the fuel source is available.
20. Remove all tools, rags, etc. from inside the generator enclosure. Close all enclosure
doors and be sure no hands are inside the generator enclosure when it starts.
21. Start the generator.
22. The engine should begin to crank and start when the fuel moves to the engine. If the
engine fails to start, refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting.
23. With the engine running, several checks must be made:
a. Verify there are no fuel leaks. If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine (set the
Master Control in the “Stop” position) immediately and repair the leak before
proceeding.
b. Verify there are no coolant or oil leaks. If a leak is detected, stop the engine (set
the Master Control in the “Stop” position) immediately and repair the leak before
proceeding.
c. Verify that operation is smooth. If squeals, vibrations or other abnormal sources of
noise exist, stop the engine (set the Master Control in the “Stop” position)
immediately and repair before proceeding.
d. Verify the correct voltage exists at the receptacles.
WARNING: Engine coolant is under pressure and is near the boiling point of water when engine is hot.
Do not open the coolant system until the engine has completely cooled. Hot coolant can
cause severe burns and other injuries. When engine is cool, coolant level can be checked.
24. After the operation checks are made, stop the engine (set the Master Control in the
“Stop” position) and wait 2 hours for the engine to cool. When the engine is cool,
check engine oil and coolant levels as instructed in the engine operation manual.
25. Close all enclosure covers. The post installation checks are now complete.
