16. The tachometer (Figure 58) will indicate the speed of the
engine when the generator is operating. Under normal
operating conditions this speed is approximately 1800
RPM’s.
17. Turn the
main
,
GFCI
, and
aux
. circuit breakers to the
“
ON
” position (Figure 59).
15. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 57) will indicate
the coolant temperature. Under normal operating
conditions the coolant temperature is between 165 and
215 degrees Fahrenheit.

18. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 60) and verify
it reads the anticipated amount of current with respect
to the load. The ammeter will only display a current
reading if the load is in use.
19. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.

14. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 56) will indicate
the oil pressure (kg/ cm

)
of the engine. Under normal
operating conditions the oil pressure is approximately
