AUTO-THROTTLE or IDLE CONTROL

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.

The auto-throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less than 1 ampere.

The system is not effective for use with appliances that require only momentary power. Leave the auto-throttle OFF if an appliance cycles on and off frequently.

To avoid extended warm-up periods, keep the switch OFF until the engine reaches operating temperature.

Appliances with large start-up power demands may cause the engine to be overloaded and keep it from reaching normal operating RPM. Turn the auto-throttle to the OFF position and connect the appliance to the generator. If the engine is still overloaded and cannot reach normal operating rpm, check that the appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of the generator.

If the generator is equipped with a pilot light or volt meter and the auto-throttle is ON but no load is connected:

The pilot light will be dimmer.

The voltmeter will display less than the normal output voltage (120V or 240V).
