5.5 OPERATING THE GENERATOR
To operate the generator:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the generator switch on the control panel
to the
ON
position.
Combined output on all generator receptacles is limited
to the total rated generator capacity. For example; if
1,500 watts (12.5 amps) is being drawn on the 120V
duplex receptacle, only 3,700 watts (15.5 amps) is
available at the 240V receptacle. Reference
Appendix
A, Section A.3, Wattage Requirements for Common
Receptacle Units
,
for general information on the power
requirements of common power tools, motors and
extension cords. If the equipment is not listed in
Section
A.3
, check the desired power tool, motor or extension
cord manufacturer’s specifications.
If the thermal overload circuit breakers on the generator
are tripped due to an overload condition, press the white
reset buttons on the generator panel to reset the
breakers (
Figure 5-5
).
5.6 OPERATING THE AIR
COMPRESSOR
The air compressor and the supply of high pressure air
can be turned off. Whenever the pressure in the air tank
drops below 100 psi or the set pressure, the engine will
run at high speed until the pressure in the tank reaches
IMPORTANT
The Power System is designed to
support a multi-function project.
However, if the generator is operating at
a high percentage of its rated capacity,
and the welder and air compressor are
also being used, the resulting drop in
engine speed may produce a low voltage
condition that will damage the generator
and power tools being used.
NOTE
Only plug power cords into the generator
receptacles AFTER the engine is running
at full speed.
Be careful not to overload the rated
capacity of the generator - 6,800 watts
(28 amps @ 240V) continuous.
Figure 5-5: Resettable Circuit Breakers
WARNING
If one of the generator circuit breakers is
tripped, the cause of the overload must
be determined before the circuit breaker
is reset and work is resumed.
WARNING
Do not rely on the thermal overload
circuit breakers on the generator to
protect personnel, power tools, or the
generator. The thermal overload circuit
breakers on the generator require time to
overheat when the generator is operating
in an overload condition — they do not
provide instant protection against short
circuiting or overload conditions. Always
use GFCI protected extension cords and
power strips when using the generator.
NOTE
The Air N Arc 300 Power System unit
features a high pressure, 175 psi air
system. Check the maximum air
pressure rating on the air tools being
used. The operator is responsible for
regulating the air pressure when
necessary (See
Section 6.6.14, Adjusting
the Pressure Setting
).
NOTE
The pressurized air system requires
routine maintenance. See
Section 6.3,
Maintenance Schedule Table
, to learn
about important maintenance
procedures.
