n
When
STARTING
and
STOPPING
your
Welder Generator,
TURN OFF ALL
CONNECTED APPLIANCES - ESPECIALLY
INDUCTION MOTOR DRIVEN APPLIANCES
such as refrigerators, water pumps, air
conditioners, workshop machinery and
electronic appliances such as TV sets.
Damage may occur to these appliances due to
the high/low voltage output from the generator
under starting and stopping situations.
n
STOP ENGINE AND ALLOW TO COOL
BEFORE FILLING WITH PETROL OR
DIESEL.
You may be seriously injured by fire
or explosion if fuel is spilt and ignites.
n
ALLOW ALL SPILT PETROL TO
EVAPORATE BEFORE STARTING OR
RE-STARTING THE SET.
n
DO NOT SMOKE NEAR PETROL.
n
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR WELDER
GENERATOR WITHOUT SUFFICIENT
VENTILATION.
Poisonous carbon monoxide gases -
colourless and odourless - are contained in
exhaust gases.
n
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR WELDER
GENERATOR IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
Your Welder requires ample circulation of
cooling air.
n
PROTECT YOUR WELDER GENERATOR
FROM WATER AND RAIN.
Water ingress will
damage components and cause corrosion,
voiding your Advanced Power warranty.
n
When using your Welder Generator to
provide power for 240Volt AC appliances
USE CORRECT SIZED FLEXIBLE POWER
CABLES. Do not use light domestic extension
leads for high power loadings or over long
distances. Damage to your appliances and/
or welder generator may result from excessive
voltage drop in the cable.
n
NEVER CONNECT YOUR WELDER
GENERATOR TO ANY WALL MOUNTED
POWER OUTLET BY MEANS OF A CORD
OR PLUG.
This will create a
POTENTIALLY
FATAL SITUATION. ALL WIRING WORK
associated with the connection of the
generator to an existing
ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR
AND MUST BE IN ACCORDANCE WITh
INDIVIDUAL STATE REgULATIONS.
n
Where appliances are to be directly plugged
into the generator’s 240 volt A.C. power outlet
it is recommended that
OVER-CURRENT
PROTECTIVE DEVICES BE INSTALLED
in
the active lead.
n
DO NOT EARTH WELDER - GENERATOR
FRAME
via an earth stake or other means.
Refer to individual site, work place or state
regulations for welder generator
EARTH
STAKE
requirements.
n
DAILY AIR CLEANER SERVICING IS
RECOMMENDED
in dusty conditions.
Do not neglect oil changes and engine
servicing requirements refer to page 6.
WELDER GENERATOR STORAGE
When your Welder Generator is to be stored for
several weeks without use
n
Drain the carburettor by running the engine
with the FUEL VALVE OFF until it stops.
Ensure no appliance is connected to the
Welder Generator during this operation.
n
Pull start rope gently till slight resistance is felt
to ensure the engine valves are closed.
n
Store in a DRY and CLEAN location. For
longer storage procedures, see the engine
owners manual.
n
When transporting the Welder Generator
always TURN OFF THE FUEL VALVE, if fitted.
