Low Idle Switch
Always start the generator with LOW IDLE SWITCH
on OFF position. Allow the engine speed to stabilize
before switching LOW IDLE Switch to ON position
(Green).
NOTICE
For periods of high electrical load or momentary
fluctuations, the LOW IDLE Switch should be turned
OFF.
NOTICE
NOTE:
LOW IDLE minimizes fuel consumption and noise by
adjusting the engine speed (RPM) to the minimum
required for the current load. Turn LOW IDLE Switch
to ON position when powering small appliances with
continuous loads such as a computer or electric light.
Turn LOW IDLE Switch to OFF position when
powering large surge loads such as an air conditioner
or electric pump. Allow the engine speed to stabilize
before turning the switch to ON position. If no load is
present, the generator speed (RPM) will drop to idle
speed. The generator will detect loads as they are
applied and increase engine speed (RPM). To run the
generator at maximum power and speed (RPM), push
the LOW IDLE Switch to the OFF position.
Stopping the Engine
1. Turn off and remove entire electrical loads.
Never start or stop the generator with electrical
devices plugged in or turned on.
Let the generator run at no-load for two minutes to
stabilize internal temperatures of the engine and
generator.
2a. Remote start operation
Push STOP on the remote control fob for 3
seconds until the engine stop.
2b. Electric start operation
Push and hold the START/STOP button for
3 seconds until the engine stop.
3. Turn the starting dial switch to “OFF”
position.
