IDLE CONTROL OPERATION

The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to approximately 2000 RPM in a “No Load” condition. The noise is also greatly reduced during this condition.

When power is required from the generator an electronic control module automatically senses current flow in the electrical outlet and allows the engine to return to full speed or standard operating condition. Likewise, when the load is removed, the generator will automatically return to the idle condition after a 4-5 second delay.

A convenient switch is mounted in the control panel for easy access and will disable the Idle Control circuitry when in the off position.
