6-2. Description Of Front Panel Controls (See Section 6-1)

Engine Starting Controls

1

Preheat Switch

Use switch to energize starting aid for cold

weather starting (see starting instructions fol-

lowing).

2

Engine Control Switch

Use switch to start engine, select engine

speed (if unit has auto idle option), and stop

engine.

In Run position, engine runs at weld/power

speed. In Auto position (optional), engine

runs at idle speed at no load and weld speed

with load applied.
3

Engine Stop Lever

Use lever to stop engine if Engine Control

switch does not work.

The Engine Stop lever shuts off the fuel
supply. However, the Engine Stop lever

will not stop the engine  if  the engine can

draw  fuel-rich air from the surrounding

atmosphere (oil refineries).

To Start

:

Do not use ether.

If engine does not start, let engine come
to a complete stop before attempting re-

start.

Above 32

5

 F (0

5

 C):

 turn Engine Control

switch to Start. Release Engine Control

switch when engine starts.

Below 32

5

 F (0

5

 C):

 turn engine control switch

to Auto position. Push Preheat switch up for

60 seconds. Turn Engine Control switch to

Start. Release Engine Control switch and

Preheat switch when engine starts.

To Stop

: turn Engine Control switch to Off

position.

Engine Gauges, Meters, And Lights

4

Fuel Gauge/Hourmeter

Use gauge to check fuel level or total engine

operating hours.
To check fuel level or engine hours when en-

gine is not running, turn Engine Control switch

to Run or Auto (optional) position.
5

Engine Indicator Light

Light goes on and engine stops if engine   tem-

perature exceeds 230

°

F (110

°

 C) or engine

oil pressure is below 10 psi (69 kPa).

Normal engine temperature is 180 - 203

 F (82 - 95

 

 C). Normal oil pressure is 30

- 60 psi (207 - 414 kPa).

Do not run engine until trouble is

fixed.

Weld Controls

6

Remote Control Receptacle

Use receptacle to connect remote controls,

wire feeders, and tools.
When a remote control is connected to the

Remote receptacle, the Auto Sense Remote

feature automatically switches voltage/am-

perage control to the remote control (see Sec-

tion 5-9).
With remote control connected, weld output is

determined by a combination of front panel

and remote control voltage/amperage set-

tings.
If no remote control is connected to the Re-

mote receptacle, the front panel Voltage/Am-

perage control adjusts voltage and amper-

age.

If a remote device connected to Remote
Receptacle RC14 is faulty or is discon-

nected, the meters display Help 25 (see

Section 8-10).  Clear fault by stopping

and restarting the unit or by turning Pro-

cess/Contactor switch to another posi-

tion.

7

Process/Contactor Switch

See Section 6-3 for Process/Contactor

switch information.

8

Voltage/Amperage  Control

With Process/Contactor switch in any Stick or

TIG setting, use control to adjust amperage.

With Process/Contactor switch in any Wire

(MIG) position, use control to adjust voltage.

With Voltage/Amperage Adjust Switch in Re-

mote position, control limits the remote am-

perage in Stick or TIG mode, but has no effect

in Wire (MIG) modes.

Weld Meters

Weld meters also work in combination to
display troubleshooting help codes (see

Section 8-10).

9

DC Voltmeter

Voltmeter displays preset voltage (MIG weld-

ing) with contactor off, and actual  output volt-

age with  the contactor on. Voltmeter displays

voltage at the weld output terminals, but not

necessarily the welding arc due to resistance

of cable and connections.

To set voltage, turn contactor off and turn Pro-

cess/Contactor switch to Wire position.  Turn

V/A control until desired voltage is displayed

on Voltmeter.  When welding is finished,  volt-

meter displays weld voltage and then defaults

to preset voltage.

10 DC Ammeter

Ammeter displays preset amperage (Stick

and TIG only) when not welding, and actual

output amperage when welding.

To set amperage, turn Process/Contactor

switch to Stick or TIG position.  Turn V/A con-

trol until desired amperage is displayed on

Ammeter. When welding is finished, ammeter

displays weld amperage and then defaults to

preset amperage.
