Generator Shut-Down Procedures - MULTIQUIP Power DCA125USI3CAN Operation And Parts Manual

12. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 50) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature should
be between 167°~203°F (75°~95°C) (Green Zone).

13. The tachometer gauge (Figure 51) will indicate the
speed of the engine when the generator is operating.
Under normal operating conditions this speed is
approximately 1800 RPM's.

14. Place the main, gFCI, and aux. circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 52).

15. Observe the generator's ammeter (Figure 53) 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.

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

To shutdown the generator, use the following procedure:
1. Place both the maIN, gFCI and loaD circuit breakers
2. Place the engine speed switch (Figure 55) in the "loW"
3. Let the engine cool by running it at low speed for 3-5
4. Place the mpeC Control Switch (Figure 56) to the
