Eco Throttle® System - Honda EU3200i Owner's Manual

ECO THROTTLE® SYSTEM
Each time you push the Eco Throttle Switch, the system turns on and off.
With the system ON, engine speed is automatically lowered when loads are
reduced, turned off, or disconnected. When appliances are turned on or
reconnected, the engine returns to the proper speed to power the electrical
load. If turned OFF, 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 system OFF 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 are connected simultaneously, turn the Eco Throttle
system to OFF to reduce voltage changes.
The Eco Throttle system is not effective for use with appliances or tools that
require only momentary power. If the tool or appliance will be turned ON and
OFF quickly, the Eco Throttle system should be turned OFF.
