CAUTION
Do not operate at idle speed. At idle
speed, frequency drops below 60
Hertz, exciter field voltage increases,
thereby causing voltage regulator to
operate at maximum output. This
causes
overloading
of
power
transistor, Q2.
NOTE
Manual start should not be attempted
with a weak battery. Battery voltage
is Essential in performing step 7 of
fig. 27.1. Minimum voltage required
for energizing K1 is 18 volts.
WARNING
Slave receptable is to be used when
extra cranking power is required for
starting unit. Other methods are not
authorized.
c. Stopping. Refer to figure 2-8 and stop the
generator set.
CAUTION
Do not operate at idle speed.
d. Generator Set Operation. Refer to figure
2-9
for generator set operation.
