Economy mode
The generator has a selectable economy mode which reduces fuel consumption by lowering the engine idling speed to
a lower level than normal when the applied load is reduced or turned off. The engine speed will increase again automatically
if the applied load increases. Activate the economy mode by setting the mode selector switch (12) to
OFF
(
).
Do not select the economy mode if the applied load requires a high start-up power or high running power, the engine might
not be able to reach enough speed resulting in voltage fluctuations which might damage the applied load.
Do not select the economy mode for applied loads that require only intermittent operation, momentary power, or loads which
will be turned on and off quickly. In these cases the normal mode should be used and the mode selector set to
ON
(
).
2. Turn the fuel supply on by switching the petrol tap to
ON
.
3. Press the primer 5–6 times.
4. Set the choke to
COLD
.
5. Set the engine switch to the
ON
position.
6. Slowly pull the starter handle (4) until a slight resistance is felt.
Then pull the handle briskly to start the engine. Do NOT
let go of the starter handle as soon as the engine starts so
that it snaps back against the generator. Let it recoil gently
to prevent any damage to the starter.
7. When the engine has started: After about 10 seconds,
set the choke to the half-open position for a few seconds
before setting it to
WARM
.
8. Allow the engine to run for a couple of minutes to ensure
that it is running smoothly before connecting the applied
load or before switching to economy mode.
Important:
• If it is very cold when the generator is to be started,
the choke might need to be left set to "COLD" for longer
and in the half-open position even longer.
• If the generator is restarted before it has cooled down
completely, the choke might not be needed for such a long
time or not at all, depending on the ambient temperature.
