IDLE CONTROL TROUBLE SHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Control panel switch not on
Load plugged into receptacle
Poor connection or faulty cord
Bad I.C. module; Bad electro-magnet
or solenoids; Bad stator
Load not heavy enough
Bad I.C. module
incorrect
Flapper bracket loose or bent
Engine not running smoothly

IDLE CONTROL OPERATION

The Idle Control circuit is designed to extend engine life
and improve fuel usage by slowing the engine down to
approximately 2000 RPM in a "No Load" condition. The noise
is also greatly reduced during this condition.
When power is required from the generator an electronic
control module automatically senses current flow in the
electrical outlet and allows the engine to return to full speed or
standard operating condition. Likewise, when the load is
removed, the generator will automatically return to the idle
condition after a 4-5 second delay.
A convenient switch is mounted in the control panel for
easy access and will disable the Idle Control circuitry when in
the off position.
NOTE: On the PM0610023 and the PC0610023 a 12V
battery must be installed in order for the idle control to
function. For the PM0612023 or PC0612023 a battery is
not required for the Idle control to work.
