OPERATION
2. Verify that the oil pressure, temperature, charge and
glow plug lamps on the " Engine Warning Lamp Unit
Display" are lit. If either lamp is not lit, check the system
and wiring (refer to the Engine Operation Manual)
Figure 26. Engine Warning Lamp Unit (ON)
3. Turn the ignition key to the
HEAT
position. When the
preheat light goes off, turn the key to the
START
position to start the engine. As soon as the engine
starts, release the key. The key will automatically return
to the
RUN
position.
4. In cold weather conditions, it may be required to extend
the duration of the
HEAT
position for proper starting.
5. If the engine does not start within 10 seconds after the
key is turned to the
START
position, wait for about 30
seconds and repeat the procedure as described in
steps 1-3.
6. When the engine starts, the oil pressure light and
charge light should go out. If these lights stay on,
immediately stop the engine and check the system and
wiring (refer to the Engine Operation Manual).
7. Let the engine idle for five minutes with the
Idle Control
Switch
(Figure 27) placed in the
ON
position.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE VERIFICATION
1. Place
main
circuit breaker (Figure 28) in the
ON
position.
Figure 28. Main Circuit Breaker (ON)
2. Place auxiliary
circuit breakers (Figure 29) in the
ON
position.
Figure 29. Auxiliary Circuit Breakers (ON)
3. Read the voltmeter on front panel of generator
(Figure 30) and verify that 120 VAC is displayed. Using
an external voltmeter as shown in Figure 30, verify that
120 VAC is present at the 120V twist-lock and duplex
receptacles.
NOTICE
Placing the idle control switch (Figure 27) in the
OFF
position allows the engine to operate at a maximum
speed of about 3600 RPM's.
When the idle control switch is placed in the up position
(
ON
), the generator will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's)
until a load is applied, at that time the engine speed
will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as a load is being
applied.
When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop
back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
