Before you start the generator, you should ensure that all electrical connections are correctly and tightly connected. Faulty electrical connections could cause an electric shock. You should also provide enough coolant, oil, and fuel in the coolant tank, engine, and fuel tank, respectively. The fuel line should also be connected to the machine from the fuel tank.

The engine could also be damaged by malfunctions caused by insufficient cooling in the generator. That is why ensuring that the generator has sufficient coolant is critical. You should also monitor the coolant temperature. The ideal temperature should be around 80 degrees. If a coolant exceeds 95 degrees, it could damage the engine. Once everything is set, turn on the engine switch to power the generator. Click the link above for a visual illustration of how to start a commercial generator.
