Setting the engine speed

See image below
Generators require a non-adjustable engine speed in order to maintain the correct
voltage. The engine speed is controlled by a governor that automatically adjusts to
the changing loads of the engine in order to maintain a constant RPM. There is no
gas regulator.
To set the correct engine speed:
Unscrew the RPM adjusting screw (a) in and out until a speed of 3150 RPM is
reached at zero load.
NOTE: Tools and other electrical equipment can be damaged if the engine speed
is set too high or too low.
Use the technical data to set engine speed without load or idle.
1. Start the engine and allow it to warm up to the normal operating temperature.
2. Screw in the choke coil stop screw (a) to increase the speed. Unscrew the
choke coil stop screw to reduce the speed. Ensure that the throttle lever is
touching the choke coil stop screw before measuring the RPM.
