battery terminal.

SMART Throttle System
With the SMART throttle switch in the ON position, engine speed is
automatically lowered when loads are reduced, turned off, or
disconnected. When devices are turned on or connected, the engine
returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load. When the smart
throttle is in the OFF position, the engine runs at rated load RPM
Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine
to reach normal operating RPM when they are connected to the
generator. Position the SMART throttle switch to OFF and connect the
device to the generator. If the engine still will not reach normal
operating speed, ensure the device does not exceed the rated load
capacity of the generator.
If high electrical loads are simultaneously connected, position the
SMART throttle switch to OFF to reduce voltage changes.
The SMART throttle system is not
effective for use with devices or
appliances requiring only momentary
power. If the device or appliance will be
quickly turned on and off, the SMART
throttle switch should be in the OFF
position. When using the DC output,
position the SMART throttle switch to
OFF.
