What is the automatic idle control feature used for?Updated 3 months ago

The automatic idle control feature on our open frame generators is mainly used for jobsites to help lower the RPM and conserve fuel while the generator isn't drawing a load, and once a load is demanded the generator will return to the normal RPM and fuel consumption rate. Please note we don't recommend using the idle control feature with direct home connections due to low wattage appliances with constant power needs.

The low idle control feature on our inverter generators will adjust the engine speed to match the load, saving fuel and lowering the decibel level when less power is needed.
