AUTO-IDLE OPERATION

IMPORTANT:

 Never start engine with elec-

trical loads connected. Start engine before 
adding electrical loads.
1.  If  engine  is  cold,  turn  the Auto-Idle 

switch OFF (see Figure 19).

2.  Start engine. Allow engine to warm up 

with no load for five minutes.

3.  Turn Auto-Idle switch ON. Engine will 

slow to idle speed. Engine idle speed 
is preset. Idle speed adjustment should 
not be necessary.

4.  Operate generator according to speci-

fications outlined in owner's manual.

5.  Engine will automatically increase to 

normal operating speed when you plug 
load into any generator outlet.

 WARNING: Always set the idle 

speed before turning on the Auto-

Idle.  If  idle  speed  is  not  set,  the 

larger resistor on the control board 

may  become  hot.  Heat  from  the 

resistor may damage the protective 

coating on the control board.

 

Note:

  MGH10000C  Only  - The  250 

Volt/50 Amp  receptacle  is  not  con-
nected  through  the Auto-Idle  circuit. 
The Auto-Idle switch must be turned 
off to get full power out of this recep-
tacle (see Figure 19).

6.  The Auto-Idle system should be turned 

OFF when generator is shut down.

Adjusting the Idle Speed

IMPORTANT:

 Adjust the idle speed only:

•  If the idle speed becomes too high.
•  If the engine idle speed will not regulate (en-

gine idles and speeds up again and again).

1.  Turn Auto-Idle switch OFF. Start en-

gine. Allow engine to warm up with no 
load for five minutes.

Figure 20 - Solenoid Bracket Location 

(MGH10000C Shown)

Figure 19 - Control Panel

Auto-Idle Switch

2.  Locate Auto-Idle solenoid. The Auto-

Idle  solenoid  is  located  between  the 
alternator and the engine when viewed 
from the top of the generator (see Fig-
ure 20).

3.  Loosen two M7 nuts.
4.  Rotate  solenoid  (located  under  the 

solenoid bracket) left or right to adjust 
Auto-Idle speed (see Figure 20).

5.  With  a  volt  meter,  check  the  no-load 

output voltage at the 120-volt duplex 
receptacle. At proper idle speed (3000 
minimum RPM) the meter should read 
50-60 volts. Lower settings will cause 
the Auto-Idle to not operate properly.

6.  After  reaching  proper  idle  speed, 

tighten M7 nuts to secure solenoid to 
mounting bracket (see Figure 20).
