OPERATION

Safe Operating Precautions

Air Conditioning Operation

For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the off position. Bring the generator to a normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's instructions for starting and restarting for proper operation. Some air conditioner manufacturers offer a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause the air conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generator. Contact your air conditioner supplier if you consistently have problems starting your air conditioner with the generator. This generator is not generally recommended for air conditioners exceeding 13,500 BTUs

SMART Throttle System

With the SMART throttle switch in the ON position, engine speed is automatically lowered when loads are reduced, turned off, or disconnected. When devices are turned on or connected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical load. When the smart throttle is in the OFF position, the engine runs at rated load RPM.

Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine to reach normal operating RPM when they are connected to the generator. Position the SMART throttle switch to OFF and connect the device to the generator. If the engine still will not reach normal operating speed, ensure the device does not exceed the rated load capacity of the generator.

If high electrical loads are simultaneously connected, position the SMART throttle switch to OFF to reduce voltage changes.

The SMART throttle system is not effective for use with devices or appliances requiring only momentary power. If the device or appliance will be quickly turned on and off, the SMART throttle switch should be in the OFF position. When using the DC output, position the SMART throttle switch to OFF.
