Operating Instructions

Maintenance (Continued)

Infrequent usage

If the unit is used infrequently, starting difficulty may occur. To help prevent this, the engine should be run for approximately 30 minutes per week.

Storage

Weld cables

1.Check condition of weld cables and immediately repair or replace any cables with damaged insulation.

2.Check condition of electrode holder insulating pieces and immediately replace cracked or missing parts.

If the unit is not to be used for extended periods of time, the following pre-storage procedures should be performed:

1.Make sure engine oil is filled to the proper level.

2.Drain moisture from air tanks.

3.Drain all fuel from the tank, lines, carburetor and fuel valve.

4.Remove the spark plug, and pour approximately one teaspoon of oil into the spark plug hole.

5.Pull the starter cord several times to spread the oil throughout the cylinder.

6.Slowly pull the starter cord, until resistance is felt. This indicates that the piston is moving upward on the compression cycle, and the intake and exhaust valves are closed. (The piston pushes a small amount of air from the spark plug hole on compression.)

7.Use of fuel stabilizers or anti-gumming agents in the fuel system can help prevent the build up of gum and varnish.

Whenever the unit is stored, be sure that the fuel shut-off valve is in the closed position.

Refer to the engine manual that accompanies this unit for instructions regarding maintenance of engine components.

Never tamper with engine speed settings or frequency settings.Any governor adjustments

should be made by qualified personnel only.
