Operating Automatic Idle Control
This feature is designed to greatly improve fuel economy.
When this switch is turned to AUTO, the engine will only run
at its normal high governed engine speed when electrical
loads are connected. When electrical loads are removed, the
engine will run at a reduced speed.
With the switch OFF, the engine will run at the normal high
engine speed. Always have the switch off when starting and
stopping the engine.
Using the Center Point Lift
Your generator is equipped with a single center point lift (A).
Always lift your generator from the center point lift ONLY.
NEVER lift from the center point lift gusset (B) or folding
handle (C).
When lifting the generator, make sure no additional weight
has been added or is hanging from the generator. Adding
weight to the generator can cause damage to the center
point lift causing an unsafe condition.
WARNING
Lifting Hazard. Falling generator can result in
death, bodily injury, and/or property damage.
• Stand clear of generator. Center point lift is designed to carry
only the weight of the generator.
• DO NOT overload center point lift bracket.
• DO NOT lift from center point lift gusset.
• DO NOT lift from folding handle.
WARNING
Crush Hazard. Center point lift bracket can
crush and cut resulting in bodily injury.
• Keep hands clear of area between bracket and folding handle.
