NOTICE

Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position (Figure 17) allows the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's.

When the idle control switch (Figure 18) is placed in the up position (ON), the generator 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 a 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.
