Jim Spence got it right (see above) when he said adjustments need to be made with at least 50% load connected. RPM is PRIMARILY about getting the Hertz(Cycles) right. At load, 1800 rpm should be 60Hz and a +/- 5Hz is ok (less is better fo course).

While this might have some impact on voltage, it ain't necessarily so. If your genset is regulated by an AVR (Automatic Voltagae Regularor) rather than the more basic capacitor style regulation, the circuit board within the AVR housing will likley have 2-4 screwdriver-adjustable 'pots'. These are typically used for fine-tuning voltage and other parameters. you may need to ask for a seperate manual or instruction sheet for the AVR itself. This will give you the best, mos stable voltage output
