3. The generator's frequency meter (Figure 50) should be
displaying the 60-cycle output frequency in HERTZ.
Figure 50. Frequency Meter
4. The generator's AC voltmeter (Figure 51) will display
the generator's output in VOLTS.
Figure 51. Voltmeter
5. If the voltage is not within the specified tolerance, use
the voltage adjustment control knob (Figure 52) to
increase or decrease the desired voltage.

6. The ammeter (Figure 53) 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.

7. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 54) will indicate
the oil pressure of the engine. Under normal operating
conditions the oil pressure should be between
57–100 psi. (393–689 kPa).

8. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 55) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 167°–194°F (75°–90°C).

9. The tachometer gauge (Figure 56) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1,800 RPM.
