5.3 Exercising the Generator Set
NOTICE
Audible engine RPM variation may be heard when there is no load applied.
This is normal and does not affect the generator set performance.
Exercising the generator set drives off moisture, relubricates the engine, and
removes oxides from electrical contacts. The result is better starting, more reliable
operation and longer engine life.
