PLUGS AND HAND HELD EQUIPMENT

For further protection against electric shock, any elec- trical equipment connected to the generator recepta- cles must use a three-blade, grounded type plug or an Underwriterʼs Laboratories (UL) approved double insulated tool with a two blade plug.

WARNING

Never operate this machine with damaged or defective cords. All electrical equipment must be in safe operating condition.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

AUXILIARY POWER RECEPTACLES

The control panel of the OUTBACK™ 185 features three auxiliary power receptacles:

•Two 20 amp,120 volt duplex (double outlet) receptacle.

•A 50 amp, 240 volt single outlet receptacle.

See Figure A.1

Through these receptacles the machine can supply up to 5700 watts surge or 5200 watts continuous of sin- gle-phase 60 Hertz AC power. The machine output voltages meet UL standards and fall within ± 10% of the rated voltage.

PREMISES WIRING

The OUTBACK™ 185 is not recommended for premises wiring. The OUTBACK™ 185 does not have a combined 120/240 volt receptacle and cannot be connected to a premises as described in other Lincoln literature.

The OUTBACK™ 185 is intended only for backup, intermittent use power. Certain electrical devices can- not be powered by the OUTBACK™ 185. Refer to Table A.2 for these devices.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

Auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers. When the machine is operated in high temperature environ- ments, the breakers may tend to trip at lower loads than normally.

CAUTION

NEVER BYPASS THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. WITHOUT OVERLOAD PROTECTION, THE UNIT COULD OVERHEAT AND/OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO

THE EQUIPMENT BEING USED.
