CONTROLS AND FEATURES

Fuel Valve Lever

When the engine is well-cooled and not in use, the fuel valve (C) must be placed in the OFF position to reduce the possibility of fuel leakage. It must be in the ON position to allow the engine to operate.

SMART Throttle Switch

When the SMART throttle is placed in the on position, engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and returns to the proper speed required by the electrical load when the load is reconnected. The engine speed varies

according to the amount of load applied to the generator. Placing the smart throttle in the on position is recommended to minimize fuel consumption and engine noise while in operation. When high electrical load appliances are connected simultaneously, turn the SMART throttle switch to the OFF position to reduce voltage fluctuation. The SMART throttle system does not operate efficiently if the electrical appliance will be used in a rapid on-off or low to high rpm mode. When the smart throttle is in the off position, the engine runs at rated load RPM.
