LOW LOAD RUNNING:
Operating the generator at low load
levels for extended periods can result
in high levels of carbon build up in the
engine and exhaust system which can
lead to excessive smoking, reduced
ef
fi
ciency and overheating.
If the generator is not required switch it
off and avoid running with light or no load
wherever possible. Also see Maintenance
Section.
