4.WELD OUTPUT TERMINAL (TO WORK) WITH 1/2

-13 FLANGE NUT: Provides the connection point for either the electrode holder or the work cable. (Because the POWER-ARC 5500 is an AC output machine, either output terminal can be used for either cable.)

5.GROUND STUD: Provides a connection point for connecting the machine case to earth ground for the safest grounding procedure.

6.• 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKERS (2): Provide sepa- rate overload current protection for the 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles. (For codes 11182, 11187, 11215)

•20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER: Provide separate overload current protection for the 120 volt and 240 volt receptacles. (For codes 11403, 11404)

7.20 AMP, 240 VOLT RECEPTACLE: Connection point for supplying 240 volt power to operate one electrical device.

8.20 AMP, 120 VOLT DUPLEX RECEPTACLE: Connection point for supplying 120 volt power to operate one or two electrical devices.

9.Tachometer / Hourmeter: (For Code 11215, 11404 Only)

Records engine speed in RPMs, engine running time, and alerts the user to perform a specific engine maintenance task by flashing correspond- ing messages. If the message reads “Chg Oil”, the user needs to change the oil in the engine. If the message reads “SVC AIR-FiILTER”, the user needs to clean or if necessary,change the air filter. (See Honda Engine”s owners manual for more information). After maintenance task is preformed, the user is required to use the supplied Reset Tool to cancel flashing message and resume normal meter operation. (See page D-1 for futher details).

GASOLINE ENGINE CONTROLS

Refer to your engine manual for the location of the following features:

1.FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE: Stops the flow of gaso- line from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Should be closed whenever you are finished using the POWER-ARC 5500. Must be opened before you start the engine.

2.FUEL TANK AND CAP: See TECHNICAL SPECI- FICATIONS for capacity.

NOTE: If you use any other alternate fuel tank or supply, be sure to use a recommended in- line fuel filter.

3.MUFFLER: Reduces engine noise output. Both the Robin / Subaru and the Honda muffler serves as a spark arrester.

See SPARK ARRESTER in the INSTALLATION section of this manual.

4.“ON/OFF Switch: A two position switch located on the rear of the engine. In the “ON”(I) position, the engine ignition circuit is energized and the engine can be started by pulling the recoil rope starter. In the “OFF”(O) position, the electronic ignition is grounded and the engine shuts down.

5.AIR CLEANER: Filters intake air to the carburetor. See ENGINE MAINTENANCE in the MAINTE- NANCE section of the engine owner’s manual for details about the specific type of air cleaner to use.

6.CHOKE: Provides a richer air/fuel mix-

ture for cold engine starting condi- tions. See the topic ENGINE OPERA- TION, below, for details on setting the choke.

7.RECOIL STARTER: Manual, rope-type starter. The handle position allows easy starting from either ground level or pickup-truck level

8.OIL DRAIN PLUG: Permits convenient draining of engine oil during maintenance. Both sides of the engine are equipped with an oil drain plug.

9.OIL FILL PLUG: Permits convenient filling of engine oil during maintenance. Both sides of the engine are equipped with an oil fill plug.
