be connected for high-pressure (liquid withdrawal),
and vice versa. For Low-Pressure LPG, check and
adjust LPG supply pressure to obtain 9–13 inches
(228–330 mm) WC (water column) at all loads. Fix
all leaks before starting the genset.
STARTUP
WARNING
EXHAUST GAS IS DEADLY! Do not
operate the genset when the vehicle is indoors
or where exhaust can accumulate.
Read the Operator’s Manual and perform the main-
tenance and pre-start checks instructed. Check the
oil level and fill as necessary.
CAUTION
Frequency-sensitive equipment
such as VCRs, televisions, computers, etc. can
be damaged by power line frequency variations.
Some solid-state devices are powered whenev-
er connected to an AC outlet even if the device is
not in actual operation. For this reason, discon-
nect all devices that are voltage- or frequency-
sensitive before attempting any governor ad-
justments. If disconnecting the devices is not
possible, open the circuit breaker(s) at the dis-
tribution panel or at the genset.
If the genset is equipped with a mechanical gover-
nor and frequency adjustments have yet to be
made, make sure all frequency sensitive equipment
has been disconnected. Start the genset and adjust
the governor as necessary (see Section 8. Fuel
System).
Operate the genset following all the instructions and
safety precautions in the Operator’s Manual. Check
for fuel and exhaust leaks and unusual noises while
the genset is running under full and intermediate
loads. Do not place the genset in service until all fuel
and exhaust leaks have been fixed and operation is
satisfactory.
OUTPUT CHECK
Apply a full load to make sure the genset can pro-
duce its full rated output. Use a load test panel to ap-
ply a progressively greater load until full load is
reached.
CONTROL
Stop and start the genset several times at the gen-
set control and remote control (if so equipped) to
verify that it functions properly.
