Weld and generator power output stops if
generator overheats or engine speed is
too low.
1
Engine Switch
Use switch to open ignition circuit, and to stop
engine.
2
Throttle Control Lever
Use lever to select engine speed. Move lever
to idle position (far left) for idle speed. Move le-
ver to Run position (far right) for weld/power
speed.
Always place lever in Run position (far
right) for generator power and for maxi-
mum weld output.
3
Choke Control Lever
Use lever to change engine air/fuel mix. Move
lever to right if starting a cold engine. Move le-
ver to left if starting a warm engine.
4
Starter Handle
To Start: open fuel valve (see Section 5-4),
turn engine switch to On, move throttle lever
to Idle, set choke, and pull starter handle.
Open choke as engine warms.
To Stop: turn engine switch to Off.
Always close fuel valve after stopping
unit. Moving unit with fuel valve open may
cause carburetor flooding and make
starting difficult.

Welding Range Label
Use label to determine correct weld amper-
age based on electrode size, type, and mate-
rial thickness.
6
Current Control
Use control to select weld amperage. Control
may be adjusted while welding.
To Set Current Control: Use label to deter-
mine correct size electrode for material thick-
ness. Select electrode type and set current
control to corresponding amperage range.
Adjust control to obtain desired weld
performance.
EXAMPLE:
Material Thickness: 1/8 to 1/4 in
Electrode Diameter: 1/8
Electrode Type: E-6013
Current Control Setting: 90 − 120 A
