and current under load and varies the exciter field either up
or down to keep the generator field at such a value as to
maintain constant alternator output voltage. The regulated
voltage setting can be varied using the voltage adjust
rheostat (R1).
An ac receptacle (J14) is connected through a protective
circuit breaker (CB3) to provide 120 VAC.
Outputs from the voltage regulator (A2) transformed by
transforms (T1 and T2) to a value suitable for input to
frequency transducer (A3) which energizes frequency meter
(M3).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Hot refueling of generators while they are oper-
ating poses a safety hazard and should not be
attempted. Hot engine surfaces and sparks pro-
duced from the engine and generator circuitry
are possible sources of ignition. Severe injury or
death to personnel and damage to the equip-
ment may result.
Ground set to avoid shock hazard.
BEFORE STARTING SET
NOTE: Push in DC CONTROL CIRCUIT
BREAKER. Pull manual governor control
throttle all the way out and then push back
in approximately halfway.
1.
Fill crankcase (do not overfill) and fuel
tank. Ensure that vent cap on underside of
the fuel filler cap is open before starting
generator.
2. Set batteries are negative ground.

NOTE: Preheat is not required when engine
is hot.
Move “MASTER SWITCH” to “START”
position and hold until engine fires continu-
ously. If engine does not start within 15
seconds repeat steps 1 and 2.
“MASTER SWITCH” will return to
“PRIME & RUN” position when released.
If running from auxiliary fuel source, move
“MASTER SWITCH” to “PRIME & RUN
AUX FUEL” position.
After warm up. Check frequency and
voltage and adjust if necessary.
Move “AC CIRCUIT BREAKER” to “ON”
position.
STOPPING SET
1. Move
“AC CIRCUIT BREAKER” to
“OFF” position.
2. Move “MASTER SWITCH” to “OFF”
position.
