HINTS FOR SAFE
OPERATION
AND BEST
PERFORMANCE
n
FILL CRANKCASE WITH OIL
as recommended in the engine owner’s
manual. Check oil level daily.
DO NOT USE FRICTION MODIFIED OILS.
n
USE ONLY FRESH QUALITY FUEL
in your Advanced Power Welder Generator.
DO NOT use fuel that has been stored for
several weeks.
n
DO NOT ADJUST OPERATING SPEED.
This has been factory set. Alteration will vary
the output voltage and frequency, which will
cause damage to your appliances and/or
generator and void your warranty.
n
ONLY ONE SECTION OF THE SET CAN
BE OPERATED AT ANY ONE TIME.
i.e. Welder or Alternator.
n
DO NOT DISCONNECT THE LOW OIL
SENDER LEAD/WIRE. THIS WILL CAUSE
DAMAGE TO YOUR GENERATOR
WELDER AND VOID THE UNITS
WARRANTY
n
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR PETROL/
DIESEL DRIVEN WELDER-GENERATOR
AT LESS THAN 1/3 FULL LOAD
for long
periods. Light loading can cause glazing
of the cylinder bore , and cause increased
carbon build up in combustion chambers.
After long periods of operation at light
loads, the generator should be operated for
5 minutes at 75% load or more of its rated
capacity to disperse carbon build-up in the
combustion chamber.
