Economy mode
The generator has aselectable economy mode which reduces fuel consumption by lowering theengine idling speed to
alower level than normal when theapplied load is reduced or turned off. Theengine speed will increase again automatically
if theapplied load increases. Activate theeconomy mode by setting themode selector switch(12) to OFF
( ).
Do not select theeconomy mode if theapplied load requires ahigh start-up power or high running power, the engine might
not be able to reach enough speed resulting in voltage fluctuations which might damage the applied load.
Do not select theeconomy mode for applied loads that require only intermittent operation, momentary power, or loads which
will be turned on and off quickly. Inthese cases thenormal mode should be used and themode selector set to ON (
).
2. Turn thefuel supply on by switching thepetrol tap to ON.
3. Press theprimer 5–6 times.
4. Set thechoke to COLD.
5. Set theengine switch to the ON position.
6. Slowly pull thestarter handle (4) until aslight resistance is felt.
Then pull thehandle briskly to start theengine. Do NOT
let go of thestarter handle as soon as theengine starts so
that it snaps back against thegenerator. Let it recoil gently
to prevent any damage to thestarter.
7. When theengine has started: After about 10 seconds,
set thechoke to thehalf-open position for afew seconds
before setting it to WARM.
8. Allow theengine to run for acouple of minutes to ensure
that it is running smoothly before connecting theapplied
load or before switching to economy mode.
Important:
• If it is very cold when thegenerator is to be started,
thechoke might need to be left set to "COLD" for longer
and in thehalf-open position even longer.
• If thegenerator is restarted before it has cooled down
completely, thechoke might not be needed for such along
time or not at all, depending on theambient temperature.
