OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
14
ECONOMY CONTROL SWITCH (Fig.12)
On:
Recommended to minimize fuel
consumption and further reduce noise levels
when no load is applied to the generator.
Off:
The smart throttle system does not operate.
Engine speed varies with the load.
With the switch in the On position, the engine
speed is controlled automatically. The engine
speed is lowered when the load on the
generator is reduced, turned off or
disconnected. When loads are turned on or
re-connected, the engine returns to the correct
speed to power the connected load.
In the Off position the system does not operate.
The economy system also helps in fuel
economy and reduced noise levels when under
no load conditions.
When a load is connected to the generator, the
generator speed will automatically adjust in
order to supply enough power.
Appliances with large start-up power demands
may not allow the engine to reach normal
operating speed when they are connected to
the generator. Turn the economy switch to the
Off position and connect the appliance to the
generator. If the engine still will not reach normal
operating speed, check that the appliance does
not exceed the rated load capacity of the
generator.
STOPPING THE GENERATOR
WARNING.
In case of emergency, the
easiest way to stop the generator is to
directly put engine switch to OFF
position. Avoid doing so in non-emergency
circumstances as it carries the risk of damaging
the generator.
1. Before stopping the engine make sure that
all the electrical loads are disconnected from
the generator AC outlet sockets.
2. Switch off the engine by putting the engine
switch in the STOP position (Fig.13).
3. When the generator engine has stopped and
before storage, turn fuel valve lever to the
OFF position (Fig.14).
NOTE. After disconnecting all loads,
leave the generator running for another
1-2 minutes before shutting it down.
Then switch off the engine switch and the fuel
valve. Switching off the engine with loads
attached may damage the unit and cause
difficulty starting the generator next time it is
used.
