Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in order to minimize fuel consumption and noise
while operating the unit during times of reduced electrical output, allowing the engine speed to
idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the engine runs at normal speed continuously.
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary fluctuations, the Economy Control Switch should
be turned OFF.
