CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Controls and Features
Choke Knob
By moving to the CLOSE position, the choke knob (A)
provides proper starting mixture when the engine is cold.
Operates by being placed in the OPEN or CLOSE
position.
Indicator Panel
Low Oil Indicator
The low oil alarm system is designed to prevent engine
damage caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the
crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase falls
below a safe limit, the low oil alarm system will
automatically shut down the engine (the engine switch
will remain in the ON position).
If the low oil alarm system shuts down the engine the red
low oil alarm indicator light will come on when you
operate the starter, and the engine will not run. If this
occurs, search for any oil leaks. Add engine oil to resume
normal operation.
Overload Indicator
If the generator is overloaded to the point that the max
power rating of 25 amps is exceeded or if there is a short
in the connected appliance the output indicator will go out
and the overload indicator will go on and current to the
connected appliance will be shut off. Stop the engine if
the overload indicator light comes ON and investigate the
overload source.
Output Indicator
The green output indicator light will remain on during
normal operating conditions. If the generator is
overloaded to the point that the max power rating of 25
amps is exceeded or if there is a short in the connected
appliance the output indicator will go out
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.
