Page 19: Operation
If the generator is equipped with a fuel shutoff valve, the valve is located under the fuel tank. When using the generator, be sure the valve is open (turned counterclockwise) to permit the flow of fuel from the tank. During transport, the valve must be closed. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -
Page 20: Oil
To select the proper oil: ■ For diesel engines, see the engine manual. ■ For all other engines, see Table 3.1 for oil grade. ■ For gasoline engines, use API Class SG or SH oil (also SG/CD, SG/CE, SH/CD or SH/CE). Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -

11 inches of water column pressure. Fuel pressure that is too high or too low will adversely affect generator performance. Do not adjust the generator’s fuel regulator, which is preset at the factory. To adjust the fuel mixture, see “Fuel mixture for Model XAF generators” on page 24. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... - Page 23 This will prevent debris from entering the generator’s fuel regulator. Check all connections for leaks with soap and water, and stop all leaks before using the generator. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators...

Page 27: Electrical Loads
Although diesel models have a minimum load requirement (see “Model XDR diesel generators” on page 22), other generators will not be damaged if operated with no load. Appendix A, page 33, provides information that can help in determining your load requirements. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... - Page 28 Receptacles are protected by ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI). Consult the National Electrical Code, Underwriters Laboratories or Canadian Standards Association code for ground- fault protection requirements for temporary installations. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators...

Page 30: First-Time Use
Adjust the fuel mixture screw until the multimeter reads 60 Hz, which ensures optimal generator performance at full speed and maximum load. After adjusting the fuel mixture, tighten the fuel mixture nut to lock the adjustment screw in place. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -
Page 31: Starting The Generator
Model XAF alternative-fuel generators are not affected. ■ Before starting, pump the fuel lever 20 times or more. ■ Do not allow the generator to run out of fuel or to the bottom of the fuel tank. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -
Page 32: Starting Procedure
Before connecting any load to the generator, run the engine for 2 to 3 minutes, allowing it to reach normal operating temperature. Apply loads by inserting plugs into the proper receptacles and turning on connected equipment. See Section 3.2.2 for details about applying loads. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -
Page 33: Stopping The Generator
To stop the engine with this condition you must block the air intake flow until the engine stops. If this situation has occurred, the air filter will be saturated with oil and must be replaced before restarting the engine. Voltmaster Engine-Driven Generators... -
Page 34: General Maintenance
The generator should be run at least once a month for a few minutes to keep all components in proper operating condition. For engine maintenance requirements, see the engine manual. For troubleshooting, see the Voltmaster troubleshooting manual, available at www.voltmaster.com. 3.3.1... -
