Auto-Throttle System - Honda ES6500 Owner's Manual

Auto-throttle System
With the switch in the AUTO position, engine speed is automatically
reduced when ALL loads are turned OFF or disconnected. When
appliances are turned ON or reconnected, the engine returns to rated
speed. In the OFF position, the auto-throttle system does not operate.
The auto-throttle system will not respond to electrical loads of less
than 1 ampere. Turn the auto-throttle to the OFF position to operate
loads of less than 1 amp.
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 auto-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.
To avoid extended warm-up periods, keep the switch OFF until the
engine reaches operating temperature.
The auto-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 auto-throttle switch should be in the OFF
position.
