AUTO-THROll-LE SYSTEM

With the switch in the AUTO 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 oper-

ate.

The auto-throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less

than 1 ampere. Turn the auto-throttle to the OFF position to operate

loads of less than 1 amp.

Appliances with large startup power demands

may not

allow the

engine to reach normal operating rpm when they are connected to the

generator. Turn the auto-throttle 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.
