During operation, make sure that lubricating oil pressure, fuel oil pressure, and coolant temperature
gauges indicate normal range of operation.
3-25.5 Shutdown procedures
3-25.5.1 Shutdown procedures at engine. While this auxiliary generator set is normally operated from switchboard, it
can be shut down at the engine location by following these procedures:
