1,
Remove the AC
electricallcad
from
the
generator and allow

Break-In Precautions
Because
the
generator set operates
at
1800 rpm
to
produce
60
Hertz,
or
at
1500 rpm
to
produce
50 Hertz,
control
of
the
generator's engine break-in is governed
by
the
current
drawn
from
the
generator,
Do
not
attempt
to
break-in
your
generator set
by
running it
without
a load,
Upon
starting
the
generator set,
check
for
proper operation and then encourage a fast warm-up,
For
the
first 10
hours
of
the
generator's operation, run the generator set between 20 and 60 percent
of
lull-load,
After
the
first
10
hours
01
the
generator's operation,
the
load
may
be
increased
to
the
rated lull-load
output
Periodically vary
the
load,
Avoid overload
at
all times, An overload is signalled
by
a
smoky
exhaust, with reduced
output
voltage and
frequency,
Monitor
the
current being
drawn
from
the
generator and keep it within
the
generator's rating,

Starling
Under
Normal
Conditi()ns
Follow the procedure below
for
routine starting of
the
generator:
Check
the
engine's lubricating oil level prior
to
each day's use, Add oil as needed and maintain
the
oii level
at
the high
mark
on
the
dipstick,
Check
the
coolant level in
the
plastic recovery tank,
NOTE:
Excessive loss
01
fresh water coolant from
the
plastic recovery
lank
indicates a
cool-
ing system leak,
Check
the
entire cooling system; pressurize the system
to
locate the
leak
In cases
01
excessive
coolant
loss,
Ihe
system must
be
refilled as outlined under
the
"PREPARATIONS FOR STARTING" section
01
this manual, page 35,
Visually
examine
the
unit;
look
lor
any
abnormalities and correct
them
as needed,
Checkto
ensure
thatlhere
is sufficient fuel in the
tank
and examine
the
filter/separator bowls
lor
contaminants,
Clean
and drain
the
bowls
as needed,
Start
the
generator, following the
procedure
outlined in the "STARTING PROCEDURES" section
on
the
pre-
vious page, and allow
lhe
engine's operating temperature
to
reach 130 - 150" F (55 - 66"
C)
before placing
the
generator
under
a heavy load,
