Economy Mode - Cotech Hi2000 Bedienungsanleitung

3. Choke
To start a cold engine, close the choke by moving
the choke control (19) to the right.
To restart a warm engine, the choke is not needed
and should be in the open position.
4. Set the engine switch (1) to I ON, this will also open
the fuel cut-off valve.
5. Slowly pull the starter handle (2) until a slight resistance is felt. Then pull the handle briskly in the direction of the arrow
to start the engine. Do NOT let go of the starter handle as soon as the engine starts so that it snaps back against
the generator. Let it recoil gently to prevent any damage to the starter.
6. The choke will not be needed if the engine is warm. If the engine is cold and the choke has been used, run the engine for
about a minute and then set the choke control (19) to the half-open position. After a further 30 seconds operation, open
the choke completely.
7. Allow the engine to run for a couple of minutes to ensure that it is running smoothly before connecting the applied load or
before switching to economy mode.

Economy mode

The generator has a selectable economy mode which reduces fuel consumption by lowering the engine idling speed to
a lower level than normal when the applied load is reduced or turned off. The engine speed will increase again automatically
if the applied load increases. Activate the economy mode by setting the mode selector switch (14) to OFF (
Do not select the economy mode if the applied load requires a high start-up power or high running power, the engine might
not be able to reach enough speed resulting in voltage fluctuations which might damage the applied load.
Do not select the economy mode for applied loads that require only intermittent operation, momentary power, or loads which
will be turned on and off quickly. In these cases the normal mode should be used and the mode selector set to ON (
