FuelSaver
If Fuel Saver Mode is turned on, the machine will throttle
down on its own to 200 RPM above low idle if it runs too
long with no load. Two settings affect Fuel Saver mode.
1. FuelSave Time: this is the amount of time the machine
will wait at "no load" until it idles down (as selected on
SETUP1, see page 9).
2. FuelSave Load: based on engine percent torque load;
anything below this setting is considered "no load".
Ex settings: 10seconds, 42% load.
During normal operation the load on the engine might range from 50-90% while chipping. When no material
is being fed into the chipper it will just run at high rpm but maybe only 35% load. With actual load being lower
than the 42% setting, the controller sees "no load" and after 10 seconds will idle the machine down to
approximately 1,000 RPM.
Tap Throttle Up to bring the RPM back to full speed.
The buttons on the infeed are tied into Throttle Up when FuelSave is turned on.

When you turn Fuel Saver OFF,
the machine will throttle down
to idle (approx 800rpm), EXCEPT
if engine RPM is above
AutoFeed Hi setting. In this
case, the controller assumes the
operator is at full engine speed
and wants to keep working.
