6-2. Description Of Controls (Standard Models) (See Section 6-1)

1 Engine Switch

Use switch to control ignition circuit. Turn switch to On position when starting engine. Turn switch to Off position to stop engine. En- gine cannot be started with switch in the Off position.

Engine stops if oil level is too low. Engine can- not be restarted until sufficient oil is added.

2 Low Oil Pressure Light

Light goes on and engine stops if engine oil level is too low.

Engine cannot be restarted until sufficient oil is added.

!Stop engine and add oil if light goes on (see Section 5-4).

3Starter Handle

4Choke Control

Use control to change engine air/fuel mix. Move control to far right if starting a cold en-

gine. Move control to far left if starting a warm engine.

To Start:

DOpen fuel valve (see Section 5-4).

DTurn Engine switch to On.

DSet choke.

DPull starter handle. Open choke as en- gine warms.

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

To Stop:

DTurn 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.

5 Welding Range Table

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

6 Weld Output Control

.Set control at maximum for full generator power output at AC receptacles

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

To Set Weld Output Control: Use table to determine correct size electrode for weld am- perage. Select electrode type and set control to corresponding amperage range on name- plate. Adjust control to obtain desired weld performance.

EXAMPLE:

Electrode Diameter: 1/8

Electrode Type: E-6013

Current Control Setting: 90 − 120 A

Notes

Work like a Pro!

Pros weld and cut safely. Read the safety rules at the beginning of this manual.
