NOTE: A dealer password is required.
High Run Speed Timer
A programmable high run speed timer is provided. The
timer controls the length of time the generator runs at
maximum speed after application of a large load (such as
an air conditioner). The time can be increased to prevent
the potential cycling of engine RPM as loads turn on and
off. For example, if the timer is currently set to ten
minutes, and the normal AC cycling time is 15 minutes,
increasing the timer to 20 minutes would prevent the
engine speed from increasing and decreasing every ten
