8.1 USE OF ENGINE DRIVEN WELDER AS A
GENERATING SET
^ Start the engine ass described in section 4.1
^ Switch the ELCB lever up to setting I (ON). Switch the single phase 16A CB lever up
to setting I (ON).
^ The single phase voltmeter (see 'I' on page 7) reads approximately 170V when the
engine is at idle speed.
9.1 STOPPING ENGINE
^ Disconnect any load from the auxiliary outlets and the welding terminals of the Engine
Driven Welder.
^ Wait approximately 1 minute then turn the ignition key to the 0 position and the motor
will stop.
10.1 ENGINE PROTECTION
^ The DAS Engine Protection Device checks for low oil pressure, no battery charge, over
speed, high water temperature and low fuel level conditions when the Engine Driven
Welder is in operation.
^ When a low oil pressure, no battery charge, over speed, high water temperature or low
fuel level condition occurs the DAS stops the engine and illuminates the corresponding
lamp on the control (expect for the low fuel level condition). When the faulty condition
has been removed the engine can be re-started.
^ Note that if the low oil pressure, no battery charge, over speed, high water temperature
or low fuel level condition is still present when after the engine is re-started then the
DAS Engine Protection Device will stop the engine after approximately one minute has
elapsed.
11.1 WARNING
^ In order to preserve the engine performance CIGWELD strongly recommends that the
maintenance schedule is adhered to as specified in the engine manufacturer "Use and
maintenance" user manual. Poor maintenance could result in a shorter operating life,
decreased performance and loss of engine warranty.
^ DO NOT disconnect the battery from the Engine Driven Welder when the engine is
running as this action will cause the alternator regulator to fail.
