OPERATION
AUXILIARY POWER:
Start the engine and set the IDLER control switch to the desired
operating mode. Full power is available regardless of the welding
control settings providing no welding current is being drawn.
Simultaneous Welding and Auxiliary Power Loads
The auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous
welding and power loads are specified in the following table. The
permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from
either the 120 VAC or 240 VAC supply (not both at the same time).
