RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

GENERATOR

The POWER-ARC 4000 gives AC generator output for medium use, non-commercial demands. For more details on operating the generator, see GENERATOR OPERATION in the OPERATION section of this manual.

WELDER

The POWER-ARC 4000 provides excellent constant current AC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding. For more details on using the machine as a welder, see WELDING OPERATION in the OPERATION section of this manual.

•Welded-tube, full roll cage frame protects engine and generator/welder.

•Lightweight, portable design.

•Rubber mounting isolates engine and generator from frame to prevent machine “walking” during use.

•Lo-Tone®engine muffler for quieter operation. (A Super Lo-Tone®muffler is available from Briggs & Stratton.)

•Easy-starting, No Maintenance, Electronic Magnetron® ignition.

•Optional Oil Gard® low oil level engine shutdown kit is available from Briggs & Stratton.

OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND CONTROLS

The POWER-ARC 4000 was designed for simplicity. Therefore, it has very few operating controls. A single dial on the control panel lets you select either genera- tor or welding use. For welding, the same dial selects continuous current output over the machine’s 70 to 125 amp range.

The 8 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine controls include a recoil starter, choke, and rotary stop switch. See ENGINE OPERATION in the OPERATION section of this manual for details about starting, running, stopping, and breaking in the gasoline engine.

DESIGN FEATURES AND

ADVANTAGES

•Stick welding (SMAW) process capability with output range from 70 - 125 amps.

•Single-dial current output selection.

•Work and Electrode welding cable mounting terminals.

WELDING CAPABILITY

The POWER-ARC 4000 is rated 125 amps, 20 volts at 30% duty cycle on a ten-minute basis. This means that you can load the welder to 125 amps for three minutes out of every ten-minute period. The machine is also capable of higher duty cycles at lower output currents. You can load the welder to 100 amps for six minutes out of ten for a 60% duty cycle.

The current is continuously variable from 70 to 125 amps AC. The POWER-ARC 4000 can weld with all 3/32 and most 1/8 inch diameter Lincoln AC elec- trodes.

LIMITATIONS

•The POWER-ARC 4000 is not recommended for any processes besides those that are normally performed using stick welding (SMAW) procedures.

•The POWER-ARC 4000 is not recommended for pipe thawing.

•During welding, generator power is limited to 100 watts, and output voltages can drop from 120 to 80 volts and 240 to 160 volts. Therefore, DO NOT OPERATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIP- MENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING.
