Operation GV 3800Awc_tx000705gb.fm 223.11 Voltage SelectionSee Graphic: wc_gr003958The voltage selector switch (e) switches the generator output betweenthe single-voltage mode (120V) and the dual-voltage (120/240V)mode.In single-voltage mode, the full rated power of the generator is sharedbetween the two 125V GFI duplex receptacles.In dual-voltage mode, generator power is shared between the 125/250V twist-lock receptacle and the 125V GFI duplex receptacles. Toachieve full power, use only the 125/250V twist-lock receptacle. Note:Only use the 125/250V twist-lock receptacle (j) when the VSS is in the120V/240V position.NOTICE: NEVER change the position of the voltage selector switchwhen the main breaker is in the ON position. This can cause arcing andcan damage the generator. Turn all tools and appliances off and placethe main circuit breaker (d) in the OFF position before changing theposition of the voltage selector switch.3.12 Engine Auto IdleSee Graphic: wc_gr003958The auto idle switch (b) automatically reduces engine speed after allappliances or tools attached to the generator have been turned off.The engine automatically returns to full speed when a tool or applianceis turned back on.To turn the auto idle feature on, push the auto idle switch to “AUTO”.The AUTO setting is recommended while the generator is running tominimize fuel consumption. To avoid extended engine warm-upperiods, keep switch set to “OFF” when starting the engine and untilthe engine reaches operating temperature.
