DCA220SSJU4F 60 HZ GENERATOR• OPERATION MANUAL — REV. #3 (02/10/17) — PAGE 39
GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)
9. The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 44) will display
the generator’s output in
VOLTS. If the voltage is not
within the specified tolerance,

10. Use the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 45)
to increase or decrease the desired voltage.

11. The ammeter (Figure 46) 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 46. Ammeter (No Load)
12. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 47) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure is approximately 35 to 65
psi. (193~586 kPa).
Figure 47. Oil Pressure Gauge
13. The
coolant temperature gauge (Figure 48) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 185°~207°F (85°~97°C).

14. The
tachometer gauge (Figure 49) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM’s.

15. Place the
main, GFCI, and aux. circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 50).

16. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 51) 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.

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