CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Fuel Valve Lever
When the engine is well-cooled and not
in use, the fuel valve (C) must be placed
in the OFF position to reduce the
possibility of fuel leakage. It must be in
the ON position to allow the engine to
operate.
SMART Throttle Switch
When the SMART throttle is placed in the
on position, engine speed is kept at idle
automatically when the electrical load is
disconnected and returns to the proper speed
required by the electrical load when the load
is reconnected. The engine speed varies
according to the amount of load applied to the generator. Placing the
smart throttle in the on position is recommended to minimize fuel
consumption and engine noise while in operation. When high electrical
load appliances are connected simultaneously, turn the SMART throttle
switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage fluctuation. The SMART
throttle system does not operate efficiently if the electrical appliance
will be used in a rapid on-off or low to high rpm mode. When the smart
throttle is in the off position, the engine runs at rated load RPM.
Ignition Switch
The ignition switch (F) must be in the ON /
RUN position for the generator to operate.
Turn the switch to the START position to
start the engine.
