OPERATION

B-3

6. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE

The gauge displays the engine oil pressure when the engine is running.

7. ENGINE PROTECTION

The yellow engine protection light remains off with proper oil pressure and under normal operating temperatures. If the light turns on, the engine protection system will stop the engine. Check for proper oil level and add oil if necessary. Check for loose or disconnected leads at the oil pressure sender located on the engine. The light will remain on when the engine has been shut down due to low oil pressure or over-temperature condition.

8. BATTERY CHARGING LIGHT

The yellow engine alternator light is off when battery charging system is functioning normally. If light turns on the alternator or the voltage regulator may not be operating correctly. The light will remain on when the engine is stopped and the run/stop switch is in the run position.

9. IDLER SWITCH

Has two positions as follows:

A)In the “High” position , the engine runs at the high idle speed controlled by the governor.

B) In the “Auto”

/

position, the idler operates as

follows:

 

 

a. When switched from “High” to “Auto” or after starting the engine, the engine will operate at full speed for approximately 12 seconds and then go to low idle speed.

b. When the electrode touches the work or power is drawn for lights or tools (approximately 100 Watts minimum) the engine accelerates and operates at full speed.

c. When welding ceases and the AC power load is turned off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12 seconds starts.

d. If the welding or AC power load is not restarted before the end of the time delay, the idler reduces the engine speed to low idle speed.

e. The engine will automatically return to high idle speed when the welding load or A.C. power load is reapplied.

Idler Operational exceptions

When the WELDING TERMINALS switch is in the “Remotely Controlled” position the idler will operate as follows:

a. When the triggering device (Amptrol, Arc Start Switch, etc.) is pressed the engine will accelerate and operate at full speed provided a welding load is applied within approximately 12 seconds.

•If the triggering device remains pressed but no welding load is applied within approximately 12 seconds the engine may return to low idle speed.

•If the triggering device is released or welding ceases the engine will return to low idle speed after approximately 12 seconds.
