DCA-100SSVU — GENERATOR START-UP PROCEDURE (MANUAL)
5. The generator's frequency meter (Figure 45) should be
displaying the 60 cycle output frequency in HERTZ.
Figure 45. Frequency Meter (Hz)
6. The generator's AC-voltmeter (Figure 47) will display the
generator's output in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within
the specified tolerance, use the voltage adjustment
control knob (Figure 47) to increase or decrease the
desired voltage.

7. The ammeter (Figure 48) 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.
8. The engine oil pressure gauge
(Figure 49) will indicate the oil
pressure of the engine. Under
normal operating conditions the oil
pressure is approximately 44 to 73
psi. (303~503 kPa). When starting
the genera

9. The coolant temperature gauge
(Figure 50) will indicate the
coolant temperature. Under
normal operating conditions the
coolant temperature should be
between 165~203 °F (74~95 °C),
Green Zone .
10. 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.
11. Place the main , GFCI , and aux . circuit breakers in the
ON position (Figure 52).

Circuit Breakers (ON)
12. 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.
13. The generator will run until manually stopped or an
abnormal condition occurs.
