4.13 Engine Auto Idle
See Graphic: wc_gr000545
The auto idle switch
(b)
automatically reduces engine speed
approximately 7 seconds after all appliances or tools attached to the
generator have been turned off. The engine automatically returns to
full speed when a tool or appliance is turned back on.
To turn the auto idle feature on, push the auto idle switch to “AUTO”.
The AUTO setting is recommended while the generator is running to
minimize fuel consumption. To avoid extended engine warm-up
periods, keep switch set to “OFF” when starting the engine and until
the engine reaches operating temperature.
4.14 Engine Speed
Generators require a fixed engine speed to maintain the correct
voltage. Engine speed is controlled by a governor which automatically
adjusts to varying loads on the engine to maintain a constant speed.
See
Technical Data
. There is no throttle control. Use the Auto Idle
switch on the generator to control engine speed.
