ENGINE DRIVEN GENERATOR
The machine is designed to operate on engine driven generators as
long as the auxiliary can supply adequate voltage, frequency and
power as indicated in the “Technical Specification” Installation
Section of this manual. The auxiliary supply of the generator must
also meet the following conditions:
Frequency:
60 Hz for 100-240V Input & 50 Hz for 230 / 240V input.
RMS voltage of the AC waveform:
100-240 V; Out of this range will
trigger undervoltage and overvoltage protections.
Generator Minimum
8 kW
It is important to check these conditions because many engine driven
generators produce high voltage spikes. Operation of this machine
with engine driven generators not conforming to these conditions is
not recommend and may damage the machine and is also NOT
covered by warranty.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Keep the electrode holder and cable
insulation in good condition.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrode with skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground.
• Turn the input line Switch on the machines “Off” before-
connecting or disconnecting output cables or other
equipment.
For secure electrical connection, the power source output
sockets connecting cable plugs must be tightened. Damage
may occur to the output socket or welding performance
maybe compromised.
To avoid interference problems with other equipment and to achieve
the best possible operation, route all cables directly to the work. Avoid
excessive lengths and do not coil excess cable.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
A quick disconnect system using twist mate cable plugs is used for
the welding cable connections. Refer to the following sections for
more information on connecting the machine for operation of stick
welding (SMAW) or TIG welding (GTAW).
