The speed of the engine was carefully adjusted at the 

factory so that the generator produces the proper voltage 

and frequency. For normal usage, the speed setting should 

not be changed. If the generator is being run continuously 

on a very light load, it is often advisable to lower the 

operating speed slightly. 

The engine will govern itself at full speed. Intentionally 

overriding the governor and operating the generator at 

low voltage may damage both the generator and any load 

connected to it. Running the engine at excessively high 

speeds results in high voltage, which may significantly 

shorten the life of light bulbs and appliances being used, as 

well as possibly damaging the engine.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

SPEED ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD ONLY BE MADE BY A 

QUALIFIED SERVICE TECH. Whenever making any speed 

adjustments, check the YourGen meter and be sure the 

voltage and speed are correct.

Output voltage should be checked periodically to ensure 

continued proper operation of the generating plant and 

appliances. 

Hz -

This is the measured frequency of the generator set. See 

the table in the RPM section above for an explanation of 

voltage and frequency ranges under load.

V1 - 

Output voltage of Line 1 (L1 on panel) to neutral. See the 

Load vs. Output table for an explanation of voltage and 

frequency ranges under load. 

V2 - 

Output voltage of Line 2 (L2 on panel) to neutral. See the 

Load vs. Output table for an explanation of voltage and 

frequency ranges under load. 

V1-V2 -

Output voltage of Line 1 (L1) and Line 2 (L2). See the 

Load vs. Output table for an explanation of voltage and 

frequency ranges under load. 

Hours -

This displays the total running hours of the generator set. 

When the generator is turned off, the hours will remain 

displayed. The display is run on a CR2032, ten-year battery. 

Once the unit is running, the battery connected to the unit 

will then supply the power to the YourGen meter.

Load Bars - 

These bars indicate how much load is being used on Line 1 

(L1) and Line 2 (L2).

   

= 1-25%            = 25-50%         

 = 50-75%             = 75-100%

It is good practice to monitor the YourGen Meter when 

applying load. This will ensure the generator is balanced.

YOURGEN 

The WINCO YourGen meter allows you to see useful 

information about your generator from the front panel 

by displaying RPMs, Voltage, frequency, load, hours, and 

maintenance reminders. It also has the ability to display 

warnings if any parameter gets outside of normal operation 

range. 

Cycle Button (      ) -

During normal operation, the display will toggle through 

on fixed delay. If you want to see any specific item, you 

can press the cycle button to move it to that setting. Once 

the display is selected, the delay before it starts toggling is 

approximately 5 seconds. This button is also used to reset 

maintenance reminders.

RPM - 

The meter will display the RPMs of the engine. This number 

is calculated based upon frequency and is not directly 

measured from the engine. The engine-generator must be 

run at the correct speed in order to produce the proper 

electrical voltage and frequency.

CAUTION: EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

The output voltage should be checked to ensure the 

generator is working properly prior to connecting a load 

to the generator. Failure to do so could result in damage 

to equipment plugged into the unit and possible injury to 

the individual.

Operating Speed 

All engines have a tendency to slow down when a load 

is applied. When the electrical load is connected to the 

generator, the engine is more heavily loaded, and as a 

result, the speed drops slightly. This slight decrease in 

speed, together with the voltage drop  within the generator 

itself, results in a slightly lower voltage when the generator 

is loaded to its full capacity than when running no load. 

The slight variation in speed also affects the frequency 

of the output current. This frequency variation has no 

appreciable effect in the operation of motors, lights, and 

most appliances. However, electronic equipment and clocks 

will be affected if correct RPM is not maintained. See Load 

vs. Output chart.

Although individual units and models vary slightly, the 

normal voltage and frequency of the engine-generator 

described in this manual are approximately as follows, 

under varying loads:
