WELDER SERVICE
Your Advanced Power welder is designed to provide many years of trouble free operation. All servicing of
the welder must be carried out by an Authorised Service Centre.
WELDING
ENSURE ALL A.C. AUXILIARY AND BATTERY CHARGING CABLES ARE DISCONNECTED COMPLETELY
FROM THE TERMINALS ON THE WELDER-GENERATOR BEFORE WELDING.
The Selector Knob on the Control Panel allows adjustment of welder amperage to provide optimum current
for each size electrode and type of job. If the job requires less amps for satisfactory welding, connect
the cable to the low terminal and then adjust the Selector Knob to provide the correct current. If the job
requires more amps, connect the cable to the high terminal and then adjust the Selector Knob to obtain the
current required.
A thermal overload protection device is fitted which intervenes in case of overload by cutting off welder
output. After approximately 1 minute, normal operation will be automatically restored.
Allow your generator/welder to warm up (approx 3 minutes) before you start welding and after any welding
allow your generator welder to run (approximately 1 minute) to cool down before turning it off.
WELDING TERMINALS
The female terminals on the welder accept the loose supplied male terminals which should be fitted to the
ends of the welder cables.
The primary welding cable (connected to the rod holder) must be plugged into one of the welding outlets
as marked. These relate to the maximum welding current available from that particular outlet and are
designed to correspond with the control setting ranges on the Control Panel.
For welding, the “EARTH” terminal must be connected to the earth cable which at all times must be
clamped to the material been welded.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WELD CONTINUOUSLY. THE THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION DEVICE WILL
INTERVENE. IF THIS OCCURS REGULARLY IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
1 PHASE A.C. GENERATOR POWER
ENSURE THE WELDING CABLES ARE DISCONNECTED COMPLETELY FROM THE TERMINALS ON THE
WELDER/GENERATOR BEFORE USING A.C. POWER.
Set the Selector Knob to the “GEN” or (Generator) position and then plug the appliance cable into the
normal A.C. socket provided.
Refer to the settings shown on the Control Panel.
DO NOT OPERATE 2 OPTIONS AT ONE TIME.
DO NOT REMOVE ANY BATTERY CONNECTIONS WHILE ENGINE IS RUNNING.
BATTERY CHARGING (If Fitted)
Your welder generator is fitted with a 12 VDC trickle charger. To charge your battery, ensure your welder
generator is turned off and connect the battery using appropriate battery leads. Make sure the red lead
connects to the positive (+) terminal of the battery and black to the negative (-). Start your welder generator
and your battery is now been charged. Not suitable for batteries above 100 amp hour. NOTE, output is not
regulated and connection of small batteries for long periods of time may cause damage to the battery.
