Description Of Controls (Honda-Powered Units) (See Section 6-2)
Weld and generator power output stops if
generator overheats or engine speed is
too low.
1
Engine Switch
On models with recoil-start, use switch to
open ignition circuit, and to stop engine.
On models with electric-start, use switch to
open ignition circuit, and to start and stop en-
gine.
2
Throttle Control Lever
Use lever to select engine speed. Move lever
to idle position (far right) for idle speed. Move
lever to Run position (far left) for weld/power
speed.
Always place lever in Run position (far
left) for generator power and for maxi-
mum weld output.
3
Choke Control Lever
Use lever to change engine air/fuel mix. Move
lever to left if starting a cold engine. Move le-
ver to right if starting a warm engine.
4
Starter Handle (Recoil-Start Models
Only)
To Start (Recoil): open fuel valve, turn engine
switch to On, move throttle lever to Idle, set
choke, and pull starter handle. Open choke as
engine warms.
To Start (Electric): open fuel valve, move
throttle lever to Idle, set choke, and turn en-
gine switch to Start position. Open choke as
engine warms.
If the engine does not start, let engine
come to a complete stop before at-
tempting restart.
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 on
nameplate. Adjust control within selected
range 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
Notes
Work like a Pro!
