OTHER FEATURES

•Perkins 4-cylinder, water cooled diesel engine. Designed for long life, easy maintenance and excel- lent fuel economy.

•Engine protection system shuts the engine down for low oil pressure or high coolant temperature.

•Gauges for engine oil pressure, coolant temperature, battery charging ammeter, compressor air pressure and compressor oil pressure.

•Indicator light for compressor operation.

•Engine hour meter standard.

•Extended range 22.5 gallon (85.1 L) fuel tank.

DUTY CYCLE

Duty cycle is based on a ten minute period and opera- tion in an ambient temperature of 104°F(40°C).

The SAE400 WELD’N AIR is NEMA rated at 60% duty cycle. Duty cycle is based on a ten minute period. Therefore, a 60% duty cycle welder can be operated at nameplate rated output for 6 minutes out of every 10 minute period without overheating.

The auxiliary power can be used continuously (100% duty cycle) within its rated current capacities.

The air compressor is rated at a 60% duty cycle based on a ten minute period as described above.
