GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE
6. The generator’s frequency meter (Figure 29) should
be displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in
HERTZ.

7. The generator’s AC-voltmeter (Figure 30) will display
the generator’s output in
VOLTS
.

8. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 31) to
increase or decrease the desired voltage.

9. The ammeter (Figure 32) 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.

10. Place the
main, GFCI, and aux.
circuit breakers in the
ON
position (Figure 33).

Circuit Breakers (ON)
11. Observe the generator’s ammeter (Figure 34) 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.
