I am not familiar with this particular generator. However, I can tell you this. Generator engines need to run at a constant set RPM. This is how they generate current. So you may hear a drop in engine RPM and then a "rev" as the engine recovers from the load the generator put on the engine. However generators WILL NOT increase rpm as the load is applied. So bottom line, the engine will need to run a set RPM to generate the correct voltage/hertz.

Just a side note: Inverter generators are NOT rpm dependent. They can adjust RPM based on the load.
