Connect load bank to generator
weld output terminals using proper
size weld cables with correct
connectors. Observe correct
polarity.
Start engine and run for several
minutes.
Set load bank switches and then
adjust generator A/V control so
load equals rated voltage and

meters after first five minutes then
every fifteen minutes to be sure
generator is loaded properly.
