6-2. Description Of Controls (See Section 6-1)
.The fan motor is thermostatically
controlled and only runs when cooling is needed.
Engine Lights
1 Engine Temperature Light
Light goes on and engine stops if engine tem- perature is too high.
NOTICE − Stop engine and fix trouble if En- gine Temperature light goes on.
2 Engine Oil Pressure Light
Light goes on and engine stops if oil pressure is too low. Light goes on momentarily during
NOTICE − Stop engine and fix trouble if En- gine Oil Pressure light stays on after
3 Battery Charging Light
Light goes on if engine alternator is not charg- ing battery. Engine continues to run.
NOTICE − Stop engine and fix trouble if Bat- tery Charging light goes on.
Engine Gauges
4 Engine Hour Meter
Use hour meter to help schedule routine main- tenance.

Weld Controls
6Dig/Inductance Control
Control adjusts Dig when Stick mode is se- lected on mode switch. When control is set to- ward minimum,
When set toward maximum,
Select setting best suited for application.
Control adjusts inductance when MIG or
mode switch. Inductance determines the “wetness” of the weld puddle. When set to- ward maximum, “wetness” (puddle fluidity) in- creases.
Control is not functional when Pulsed MIG or one of the TIG modes is selected.
7 Voltmeter
Meter displays weld voltage and help mes- sages (see Sections
8 Ammeter
Meter displays weld amperage and help mes- sages (see Sections
9V/A (Voltage/Amperage) Adjustment Control
10Mode Switch
The Mode switch setting determines both the process and output On/Off control (see Sec- tion
For Air Carbon Arc
11V/A (Voltage/Amperage) Control Switch And Remote 14 Receptacle
For front panel control, place switch in Panel position and use the V/A Adjustment control.
For remote control, make connections to Re- mote 14 receptacle (see Section
Engine Starting Controls
12 Glow Plug Switch
Use switch to energize glow plugs for cold weather starting. Glow plugs warm in about six seconds and engine can be started (see starting instructions following).
NOTICE − Do not use glow plug longer than 20 seconds.
13 Engine Control Switch
Use switch to start engine, select speed, and stop engine. In Run/Idle position, engine runs at idle speed at no load, and weld/power speed under load. In Run position, engine runs at weld/power speed.
To Start:
NOTICE − Do not use ether as a starting aid. Using ether voids warranty.
Above 325 F: turn Engine Control switch to Start. Release switch when engine starts and Engine Oil Pressure light goes out.
.If engine does not start, let engine come
to a complete stop before attempting re- start.
Below 325 F: turn engine control switch to Run/Idle position. Push Glow Plug switch up and hold about six seconds. Turn Engine Con- trol switch to Start. Release switch when en- gine starts and Engine Oil Pressure light goes out.
See Section
.If engine does not start, let engine come
to a complete stop before attempting re- start.
To Stop: turn Engine Control switch to Off position.
.Push engine stop lever to stop engine if
Engine Control switch does not work (see item 14).
14 Engine Stop Lever
Use lever to stop engine if Engine Control switch does not work.
