IDLE CONTROL
Choose the correct application.
1. For normal application such as power tools, small electric appliances, light
bulbs, and radios:
Place the idle control switch in the ON position. The generator
will idle down when there is no load. This lowers the engine
noise, saves on fuel consumption, and engine life.
2. Idling down IS NOT recommend on large motors (refrigerators,
freezers, etc) or voltage sensitive electronic equipment
(computers, televisions, etc). For these applications:
Place the idle control switch in the OFF position.
