proper speed when the load is reconnected.
This position is recommended to minimize fuel
consumption while in operation

■When high electrical load appliances are connected simultaneously. turn the smart throttle switch to
the OFF position to reduce voltage changes.

5.6 Air Conditioning Operation
For best results, the SMART throttle switch should be in the off position. Bring the generator to a
normal operating temperature before applying the air conditioning load. Always allow a 2 minute wait
period when manually cycling an air conditioner off and on. A longer wait period may be required
under unusually hot weather conditions. Additionally, all other loads should be turned off until the air
conditioner has started and is performing normally. It is also important to follow the air conditioner
manufacturer's instructions for starting and restarting for proper operation. Some air conditioner
manufacturers offer a start capacitor as an extra cost option. The lack of a start capacitor can cause
the air conditioner to draw too high a starting current and overload the generator. Contact your air
conditioner dealer if you consistently have problems starting your air conditioner with the generator.
This generator is not recommended for air conditioners exceeding 13,500 BTUs.
