Figure 41. Voltage Meter (Volts)
10. The generator's voltage meter (Figure 41) displays
the 120 VAC in VOLTS. If the voltage is not within
the specified frequency tolerance, use the voltage
adjustment control knob (Figure 42) to increase or
decrease the desired voltage.
12. The engine oil pressure gauge (Figure 44) will
indicate the oil pressure (kg/ cm
2
)
of the engine.
Under normal operating conditions the oil pressure
should be approximately 25 psi.
13. The coolant temperature gauge (Figure 45) will
indicate the coolant temperature. Under normal
operating conditions the coolant temperature
should be between 165 and 215 degrees Fahrenheit
(Green Zone).

11. The ammeter (Figure 43) will indicate zero amps
with no load applied. When a load is applied, this
meter will indicate the amount of current that the
load is drawing from the generator’s alternator.
