OVERLOAD PROTECTION
Your Eastwood MP140i Welder is equipped with an overload breaker. This device will protect your Welder if the duty cycle is exceeded. If the output is exceeded,
the internal breaker will trip and stop power supply to the drive motor although the fan will still run to cool the unit. If the breaker tripped resulting from an over-
load, the Overload Indicator LED
[J]
will illuminate AMBER. Allow the Welder to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes before attempting to resume welding.
