GENERATOR STARTUP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)
15. Press the
main
circuit breaker "ON" pushbutton switch
(Figure 41).
Figure 41. Main Circuit Breaker ON Switch
16. Verify that the main circuit breaker "ON" lamp (Figure 42)
is lit (
ON).

17. Verify that the generator’s ammeter (Figure 43) 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.

18. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.

11. The ammeter (Figure 37) 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 37. Ammeter (No Load)
12. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 38) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 14 psi.
(96 kPa).

13. The
coolant temperature gauge (Figure 39) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be approximately 212°F (100°C).
Figure 39. Coolant Temperature Gauge
14. The
tachometer gauge (Figure 40) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.
