Engine Speed
See Graphic: wc_gr001300
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 of
3000 rpm. There is no throttle control.
To set the engine to the proper speed:
Turn the speed adjusting screw
(a)
in or out to obtain a no-load speed
of 3100 rpm.
CAUTION:
Setting the engine speed too high or too low may damage
tools and other appliances attached to the generator.
Adjust engine to the no load or idle speed per the Technical Data.
5.6.1
Start the engine and allow it to warm up to normal operating
temperature.
5.6.2
Turn the throttle stop screw
(a)
in to increase speed, out to decrease
speed. Make sure the throttle lever is touching the stop screw before
measuring rpm.
