ECO-THROTTLE SYSTEM
With the switch in the ON position, engine speed is automatically lowered when loads are reduced (under
2000W). When appliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power
the electrical load. In the OFF position, the Eco-Throttle system does not operate.
Appliances with large start-up power demands may not allow the engine to reach normal operating rpm
when they are connected to the generator. Turn the Eco-Throttle to the OFF position and connect the
appliance to the generator. If the engine still will not reach normal operating speed, check that the
appliance does not exceed the rated load capacity of the generator.
If high electrical loads (over 2000W) are connected simultaneously, turn the Eco-Throttle switch to the
OFF position to reduce voltage changes.
The Eco-Throttle system is not effective for use with appliances that require only momentary power. If
the tool or appliance will be turned ON and OFF quickly, the Eco-Throttle switch should be in the OFF
position.

CLEANING THE GENERATOR
Never clean the generator when it is running! Never clean with a bucket of water or a hose. Water can get
inside the working parts of the generator and cause a short circuit or corrosion.
Always try to use the generator in a cool, dry place. If the generator becomes dirty, clean the exterior with
a damp cloth, a soft brush, a vacuum or pressurized air.
