2 Throttle Control Lever
Use lever to select engine speed. Use 50 Hz or 60 Hz position for 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 left if starting a cold engine. Move le- ver to right if starting a warm engine.
4Starter Handle
To Start (Recoil): open fuel valve, turn engine switch to On, move throttle lever to Idle, set choke, and pull starter handle. Open choke as engine warms.
To Start (Electric): open fuel valve, move throttle lever to Idle, set choke, and turn en- gine switch to Start position. Open choke as engine warms.
YIf engine does not start, let engine come to a complete stop before at- tempting restart.
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 on nameplate. Adjust control within selected range to obtain desired weld performance.
EXAMPLE:
Material Thickness: 1/8 to 1/4 in
Electrode Diameter: 1/8
Electrode Type:
Current Control Setting: 90 – 120 A
