AUTO THROTTLE
®
SYSTEM
With the switch in the ON position, engine speed is automatically reduced when
ALL loads are turned OFF or disconnected. When appliances are turned ON or
reconnected, the engine returns to rated speed. In the OFF position, the Auto
Throttle system does not operate. The Auto Throttle system will not respond to
electrical loads of less than 1 ampere or intermittent loads such as a staple gun.
Turn the Auto Throttle switch to the OFF position to operate loads of less than 1
amp.
Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine to
reach normal operating rpm when they are connected to the generator. Push
the Auto Throttle switch to the OFF position and connect the appliance to the
generator. If the engine still will not reach normal operating speed, check that
the appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of the generator.
To avoid extended warm-up periods, keep the switch OFF until the engine
reaches operating temperature.
The Auto Throttle system is not effective for use with appliances that require
only momentary power. If the tool or appliance will be turned ON and OFF
quickly, the Auto Throttle switch should be in the OFF position.
