Auxiliary Power
The AC auxiliary power, supplied as a standard, has a rating of 3.0 kVA of 115/230V AC (60 Hz).
With the 3.0 kVA, 115/230V AC auxiliary power, one duplex 115V grounding type receptacle (NEMA con- figuration
The rating of 3.0 kVA permits a maximum continuous current of 13 amps to be drawn from the 230 volt duplex receptacle. Or a total of 26 amps can be drawn from the 115 volt duplex receptacle. The 115 volt duplex receptacle has a configuration which per- mits 15 amps to be drawn from either half. Therefore, on this machine, up to 15 amps continuous can be drawn from one half and the balance of 11 amps from the other half. The total combined load of all recepta- cles is not to exceed 3.0 kVA.
An optional power plug kit is available. When this kit is specified, the customer is supplied with a plug for each receptacle. In this case, he will receive two 15 amp, 115 volt plugs (NEMA configuration

General Instructions for Diesel Engine Welders
1.Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at least once every two months. In particularly dirty locations, this cleaning may be necessary once a week. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.
2.“Current Range Selector” contacts should not be greased. To keep the contacts clean, rotate the current control through its entire range frequently. Good practice is to turn the handle from maximum to minimum setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
