.Weld and generator power output stops if generator overheats or engine speed is too low.

1 Engine Switch

Use switch to open ignition circuit, and to stop engine.

2 Throttle Control Lever

Use lever to select engine speed. Use 50 Hz or 60 Hz position for 50 or 60 Hz generator power. Use 60 Hz position for maximum weld output.

3 Choke Control Lever

Use lever to change engine air/fuel mix. Move lever to right if starting a cold engine. Move le- ver to left if starting a warm engine.

To Start (Electric): open fuel valve (see Sec- tion 4-4), move throttle lever to Idle, set choke, and turn engine switch to Start position. Open choke as engine warms. If engine does not crank, use recoil starting procedure following to start engine.

YIf engine does not start, let engine come to a complete stop before at- tempting restart.

4 Starter Handle

To Start (Recoil): open fuel valve (see Sec- tion 4-4), move throttle lever to Idle, set choke, and pull starter handle. Open choke as engine warms.

To Stop: turn engine switch to Off.

.Always close fuel valve after stopping unit. Moving unit with fuel valve open may cause carburetor flooding and make starting difficult.

6Welding Range Label

Use label to determine correct weld amper- age based on electrode size, type, and mate- rial thickness.

7 Current Control

Use control to select weld amperage. Control may be adjusted while welding.

To Set Current Control: Use label to deter- mine correct size electrode for material thick- ness. Select electrode type and set current control to corresponding amperage range. Adjust control to obtain desired weld performance.

EXAMPLE:

Material Thickness: 1/8 to 1/4 in

Electrode Diameter: 1/8

Electrode Type: E-6013

Current Control Setting: 90 – 120 A
