4.5 CONTROLS

Please review this section to familiarize yourself with the location and function of each control before starting. 

The controls of the Wallenstein generators are laid out so that they are easy to see and use. Familiarizing 

yourself with the controls will enable you to take advantage of all the features available on the Wallenstein 

generators and apply them as conditions demand.

4.5.1  ENGINE CONTROLS

Always read the engine operator's manual supplied with the machine to familiarize yourself with its operating 

and starting procedure details. 

The WHS12000, WHS12000R, WCS12000 and WCS12000R use the GX630 engine. 

The WHS14000, WHS14000R, WCS14000 and WCS14000R use the GX690 engine. 

The GX690 engine is described in the illustration below. The GX630 and GX690 are similar in layout

1. 

Ignition Switch:

 This switch controls the electric power to the engine. 

2. 

Throttle:

 The throttle is preset and locked to run at optimum RPM and is not adjustable. Engine RPM 

directly affects output from the alternator, and therefore the RPM should never be adjusted.

3. 

Choke:

 This pull knob controls the position of the choke.  Pull the choke for starting when the engine is 

cold.  Push choke in as the engine warms.  Always fully open the choke when operating the machine.

4.  Electric Start:

 Turn ignition switch located on engine panel to start the engine. Release the switch 

once engine starts.

5. 

Fuel Shut-Off Valve:

 This valve controls the flow of fuel to the engine. Turn the valve on when running 

the engine and off when refuelling or not in use.
