YStop engine.
YDo not touch hot exhaust pipe, engine parts, or load bank/ grid.
YKeep exhaust and pipe away from flammables.
1 Resistance Grid
Use grid sized for generator rated output.
Turn Off grid.
2 Welding Generator
Set Amperage control at min.
3 | Weld Cables |
|
Connect grid to generator weld |
| |
output terminals using proper size |
| |
weld cables with correct connec- |
| |
tors (polarity is not important). |
| |
4 | Voltmeter |
|
5 |
| |
Connect voltmeter and ammeter as |
| |
shown, if not provided on generator. |
| |
Start engine and run for several |
| |
minutes. |
| |
Set grid switches and then adjust |
| |
Amperage control so load and out- |
| |
put are 180 A. | 4 | |
Check generator and meters after first five minutes then every fifteen minutes to be sure generator is loaded properly.
. Check oil level frequently dur- ing
After one hour (minimum), place Amperage control in minimum posi- tion, then shut down grid to remove load. Run engine several minutes at no load.
YStop engine and let cool.
