TESTING UNDER LOAD

Apply electrical loads equal to about 75 to 100 per-
cent of the unit's rated wattage/amperage capacity.
Let the unit run at least 30 minutes with load applied.
During this part of the test, check that the unit is not
running excessively hot and that adequate cooling
airflow is available. Do not allow the unit to overheat
during prolonged operation.
The generator engine is equipped with a high tem-
perature switch. The switch has normally open
(N.O.) contacts. When the engine temperature is
too high, switch contacts close, and the engine
shuts down automatically.
THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS THAT THE
GENERATOR BE TESTED FOR ADEQUATE COOL-
ING.
