Operating Automatic Idle Control
This switch is designed to greatly improve fuel
economy.
When this switch is turned ON
, the
engine will only run at its normal high governed
engine speed when an electrical load is connected.
When electrical loads are removed, the engine will
run at a reduced speed.
With the switch off
, the
engine runs at its normal constant speed.
Always
have the switch OFF when starting and stopping
the engine.
Cold Weather Operation
Under certain weather conditions (temperatures
below 40°F [4°C] and a high dew point), your
generator may experience icing of the carburetor
and/or the crankcase breather system.
In an emergency, use the original shipping box as a
temporary shelter:
Cut off all flaps.
Cut out one of the long sides of the box to expose
exhaust side of unit. Ensure a minimum of two feet
clearance between open side of box and nearest
object.
Cut appropriate slots to access receptacles of unit.
Start unit, then place box over it.
IMPORTANT
!: Remove shelter when temperature is
above 40°F [4°C].
For a more permanent shelter, build a structure that
will enclose three sides and the top of the generator:
Make sure entire muffler-side of generator is
exposed, as shown in Figure 5.
Ensure a minimum of two feet clearance between
open side of box and nearest object.
Face exposed end away from wind and elements.
Enclosure should hold enough heat created by the
generator to prevent icing problem.
CAUTION
: NEVER run unit indoors.
Do Not
enclose generator any more than shown.
Remove shelter when temperatures are above
40°F [4°C].
