3. Cooling Water (For water cooled Generator)
4. Battery Volts and terminals
5. Air Filter

After Starting before loads on
1. Oil Pressure gauge
2. Battery charging ampere
3. Water / Oil Temperature
4. Output supply
5. Output frequency

After Loads on
1. Frequency (check if within acceptable limits)
2. Three phase supply volts
3. Load Sharing on each phase
4. Temperature of Water / Oil
5. Exhaust gas color (Should be clear. Not smoky or black)
IF exhaust gas is black, it is overloaded
