Energy-saving switch
When the energy-saving switch is in “ON” position, the energy saving equipment controls the engine
rotate speed according to the connected loads. There will be good fuel consumption and low noise.
When the energy-saving switch is in“OFF”position, the engine will always run in rated rotate speed no
matter it is connected to the loads or not (See the parameter table for details).
Note: Please set the energy-saving switch to “OFF” position when connect to air compressor, sinking
pump etc. because these equipments need large starting current.
