AUTO-THROTTLE SYSTEM
The auto-throttle system automatically reduces engine speed when all
loads are turned
off or disconnected. When appliances are turned on
or reconnected, the engine returns to the rated speed.
ON: Recommended to minimize fuel consumption and further
reduce noise levels when no load
is applied to the generator.
OFF: The auto-throttle system does not operate.
Recommended to minimize warm-up time when the generator
is started.
Leave the switch in the
OFF position when using appliances that
require only momentary power, that have a power demand
of
less than 1 ampere, or that have large startup power demands
(see page26).
