Connecting a generator to your electric utility
company's power lines or to another power
source may be against the law. In addition this
action, if done incorrectly, could damage your
generator and appliances and could cause
serious injury or even death to you or a utility
worker who may be working on nearby power
lines. If you plan to run a portable electric
generator during an outage, please notify your
electric utility company immediately and
remember to plug your appliances directly into
the generator. Do not plug the generator into
any electric outlet in your home. Doing so could
create a connection to the utility company
power lines. You are responsible for ensuring
that your generator's electricity does not feed
back into the electric utility power lines.
If the generator will be connected to a building
electrical system, consult your local utility
company or a qualified electrician. Connections
must isolate generator power from utility
power and must comply with all applicable laws
and codes.
Economy Control Switch
The Economy Control switch can be activated in
order to minimize fuel consumption and noise
while operating the unit during times of reduced
electrical output, allowing the engine speed to
idle during periods of non-use. The engine speed
returns to normal when an electrical load is
connected. When the economy switch is off, the
engine runs at normal speed continuously.
