11.Place idle control switch (Figure 17) in the OFF (down) position.This will allow the engine speed to run at about 3600 RPM's.
14.Read voltmeter on front panel of generator (Figure 21) and verify that 120 VAC is displayed. Using an external voltmeter as shown in Figure 21, verify that 120 VAC is present at the 120V

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.
