MULTIQUIP GAW180HE Operation And Parts Manual page 28

NOTICE
Placing the idle control switch in the OFF position
(Figure 19) allows the engine to operate at a maximum
speed of about 3600 RPM's.
When the idle control switch is placed in the up position
ON position (Figure 20), the generator will run at idle
speed (2600 RPM's) until a load is applied, at that time
the engine speed will increase to 3600 RPM's as long
as a load is being applied.
When the load is not in use, the engine speed will drop
back to the idle mode after about 3 seconds.
