General Operating Instructions
This hydraulically-driven welder-generator consists of 3 main components:
a) Hydraulic drive
b) DC welder
c) AC generator
For the welder or generator to function properly the hydraulic drive must maintain
the proper speed (3600 – 3720 for 60 Hz, 3000-3120 for 50 Hz) under all
conditions. Always allow the set to run for at least 2 minutes before operating the
welder or generator.
Operation
1) Connect welder leads (observe polarity).
2) Set Range Switch to the highest position for startup
3) Fine tune amp selector switch to desired amperage.
4) Start hydraulic system.
After waiting for a few minutes the welder is now ready for welding.
Increase amperage if necessary or decrease if amperage is too high.
Never operate any switches during welding.
The generator can be used during welding operation. A flicker and low Voltage in
the lights will occur every time you strike an arc, this cannot be avoided.
In order to obtain rated output of your generator section, the range switch must be
in the high position. The generator output is 120 VAC at 60
Hz and 230 V at 50 Hz. An optional 120/240 panel is available.
