CAUTION

Certain Electrical devices cannot be powered by the BULLDOG™ 140. See Table A.2.

TABLE A.2

ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THE BULLDOG™ 140.

Type

Common Electrical Devices

Possible Concerns

Resistive

Heaters, toasters, incandescent

NONE

light bulbs, electric range, hot
pan, skillet, coffee maker.

Capacitive

TV sets, radios, microwaves,

Voltage spikes or high voltage

appliances with electrical control.

regulation can cause the capaci-
tative elements to fail. Surge
protection, transient protection,
and additional loading is recom-
mended for 100% fail-safe
operation.

DO NOT RUN

THESE DEVICES WITHOUT
ADDITIONAL RESISTIVE TYPE
LOADS.

Inductive

Single-phase induction motors,

These devices require large

drills, well pumps, grinders, small

current inrush for starting. (See

refrigerators, weed and hedge

Table B.3, GENERATOR POWER

trimmers

APPLICATIONS, in the OPERA-
TION section of this manual for
required starting wattages.)
Some synchronous motors may
be frequency sensitive to attain
maximum output torque, but
they SHOULD BE SAFE from
any frequency induced failures.

Capacitive/Inductive

Computers, high resolution TV sets,

An inductive type line condition-

complicated electrical equipment.

er along with transient and
surge protection is required, and
liabilities still exist.

DO NOT

USE THESE DEVICES WITH A
BULLDOG™ 140.

The Lincoln Electric Company is not responsible for any damage to electrical components improperly connect-
ed to the BULLDOG™ 140.
