Cold Smart Start
The Cold Smart Start feature is enabled at the factory,
and can be disabled in the EDIT menu. The generator
will monitor ambient temperature and adjust its warm-up
delay accordingly when Cold Smart Start is enabled. If
the ambient temperature is below a fixed temperature
upon startup in AUTO mode (per the chart below), the
generator will warm up for 30 seconds, allowing the
engine to warm before the load is applied. If the ambient
temperature is at or above the fixed temperature, the
generator will start up with the normal warm-up delay of
six seconds. See the Cold Smart Start section of the
owner’s manual.
