Figure 14. Idle Control Switch (OFF)

NOTICE

Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position (Figure 14) allows the engine to operate at a maximum speed of about 3600 RPM's.

When the idle control switch (Figure 15) 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.

10.Read the voltmeter on the front panel of the generator (Figure 17) and verify that 120 VAC is present at the 120V twist-lock and GFCI duplex receptacles. For

additional verification of voltage, an external voltmeter can be used to measure the output voltage as shown in Figure 17.
