5.3 SMART Throttle
Engine speed is kept at idle automatically when the electrical load is disconnected and
returns to the proper speed 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.
5.4 Overload Reset Switch
Should the generator overload, AC power will be cut off but the engine will stay running.
Correct the overload condition and then press the overload reset switch on the front
panel. AC power will be restored immediately.
5.5 Air Conditioning Operation
For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the OFF position. Bring the
generator to a normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load.
Always allow a 2 minute wait period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on.
A longer wait period may be required under unusually hot weather conditions.
Additionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air conditioner has started and is
performing normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner manufacturer's
instructions for starting and restarting for proper operation. Some air conditioner
manufacturers offer a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor
can cause the air conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the
generator. Contact your air conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting
your air conditioner with the generator. This generator is not generally recommended for
air conditioners exceeding 13,500 BTUs.
