^ This machine has auxiliary power capability and grounding of the frame and case is
recommended. Refer to your local Supply Authority or Australian Standard AS3000 for
detailed earthing instructions. Connect the earth wire to the Earth connection located
on the front of the machine.
2.1 EARTH FAULT PROTECTION
^ Supply Authorities recommend that protection devices immediately disconnect all power

Breaker (ELCB) that interrupts the auxiliary power circuit within 0.2 seconds when the
earth leakage is greater than 30 mA.
^ If a fault occurs in equipment connected to the auxiliary power supply, the outer casing
may become live and result in serious injury. The Engine Driven Welder must be
properly earthed. Refer to your local Supply Authority or Australian Standard AS3000
for detailed earthing instructions. The user is responsible for connecting this Engine
Driven Welder to earth.
