GA-3.6H Series— INITIAL START-UP/GENERATOR OPERATION
6.If the engine has started, slowly return the choke lever (Figure 11) to the “OPEN” position. If the engine has not started repeat steps 1 through 5.

8.Place the idle control switch (Figure 14) in the "OFF" (down) position. This will allow the engine speed to run at speed about 3600 RPM's
2.Place the full power switch (Figure 17) in the 120V position (up).

Placing the idle control switch in
the OFF position (Figure 14) allows
NOTE the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's. When the idle control switch is placed in the up position (ON) (Figure 15),
the generators will run at idle speed (2200 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long as the load is being applied. When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
