Operating Instructions

2. Rotate fuel shut-off valve counter

clockwise to enable fuel flow.

3. Rotate the engine switch to the ON

position.

4. Adjust the choke lever as follows:

a. For cold engine, move the choke

lever as far as possible to the left,
choke fully ON, position.

b. For warm/hot engine, move the

choke lever midway between the
choke and run positions.

5. Pull the starter rope with a brisk,

smooth motion.

NOTE:

Some models may be equipped

with an electric starter. For models
equipped with an electric starter, turn
the key.

6. After each start up, allow the engine

to run for 2-3 minutes with no load.

7. As the engine warms up and

stabilizes, adjust the choke lever to
the right, until the lever is positioned
at the RUN label.

Engine speed is

preset to provide

proper output voltage. Never attempt to

modify or adjust engine speed or output

voltage.

ENGINE BREAK-IN

After initial start-up, the engine should
be broken in according to the
manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the
engine manual for the proper break-in
procedure.

SHUT OFF

1. Shut off and remove all electrical

load devices from the welder/
generator.

2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3

minutes with no electrical loads.

3. Rotate the engine switch to the OFF

position.

4. Verify that the welder/generator has

completely stopped.

5. Close the fuel supply valve.

6. Allow the unit to cool before

installing any covers.

CAUTION

LOW OIL SHUTDOWN

A low oil shutdown switch is provided to
protect the engine and welder/generator
on most extended run models. When
engine oil level drops too low for proper
engine operation, the low oil shutdown
switch causes the engine to shut off. If oil
level is low when attempting to start the
welder/generator engine, the low oil
level shutdown switch prevents the
engine from starting. If engine does not
start, check oil level.

NOTE:

It is important to keep the

welder/generator unit on a level surface.
The oil level shutdown switch can
prevent the engine from starting even if
oil level is sufficient, when the
welder/generator unit is placed on an
uneven surface.

(FRONT PANEL SWITCH MUST BE SET
TO GENERATOR)

LOAD DEVICES

1. All load devices and extension cords

should use three prong terminals.
Refer to Table 2 for extension cord
and cable size requirements.

2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3

minutes before applying any
electrical loads.

3. The

120 volt receptacles

are rated

for 20 amps and may be used in any
combination of 120 volt loads and
also with 240 volt loads through the

240 volt receptacles.
The

240 volt receptacles,

found

on some units, are rated for 20
amps and may be used in any
combination of 240 volt loads and
also with 120 volt loads through the
120 volt receptacles.
The

120/240 volt twist lock

receptacle

, found on some units, is

rated for 20 amps and may be used
in any combination of 120 volt and
240 volt loads.

4. Individual receptacles should not be

loaded beyond the amperage
rating.

5. Total combined load through any

combination of receptacle must not
exceed the rated load limits of the
welder/generator. Refer to the
identification plate on the
welder/generator for amp and
wattage specifications.

6. Always shut off and remove loads

before starting or shutting off the
welder/generator engine.

7. When plugging multiple electrical

load devices into the
welder/generator receptacles, be
sure to connect and activate the
highest power draw item first.
Allow the welder/generator engine
to stabilize, then connect and
activate the next highest power
draw device. The smallest power
draw device should be connected to
the receptacle and activated last.
