IDLE CONTROL

Choose the correct application.

1.For normal application such as power tools, small electric appliances, light bulbs, and radios:

Place the idle control switch in the ON position. The generator will idle down when there is no load. This lowers the engine noise, saves on fuel consumption, and engine life.

2.Idling down IS NOT recommend on large motors (refrigerators, freezers, etc) or voltage sensitive electronic equipment (computers, televisions, etc). For these applications:

Place the idle control switch in the OFF position.

1.Using the 12V DC cables supplied, connect the red positive (+) 12V DC cable to the battery's positive (+) terminal.

2.Attach the other end of the red positive (+) 12V DC cable to the generators positive (+) 12V DC outlet.

3.Connect the black negative (-) 12V DC cable to the battery's negative (-) terminal.

4.Attach the other end of the black negative (-) 12V DC cable to the generators negative (-) 12V DC outlet.

5.Charge the battery according to battery or equipment

manufacturer recommendations.
