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

1 Engine Switch

Use switch to control ignition circuit, and to stop engine.

2 Choke Control

Use control to change engine air/fuel mix. Move control to right (Choke) if starting a cold engine. Move control to left (Run) if starting a warm engine.

3 Starter Handle

To Start:

DOpen fuel valve (see Section 5-3).

DTurn Engine switch to On.

DSet Choke control.

DPull starter handle until engine starts.

DMove Choke control to the left (Run) as the engine warms.

.This unit has a low oil level shutdown to prevent starting an engine that is too low on oil. The low oil level shutdown may not stop a running engine. Check oil level if the engine does not start, or has stopped and cannot be restarted.

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.

4 Amperage Control

Use control to select weld amperage. Control may be adjusted while welding. Set Amper- age control at max. for full generator power output at ac receptacles.

To Set Amperage control: Use electrode chart (see Section 6-3)to determine correct size electrode. Select electrode type and set Amperage control to corresponding amper- age range on nameplate. Adjust control within selected range to obtain desired weld performance.

EXAMPLE:

Electrode Type: 6013

Electrode Diameter: 1/8

Amperage control Setting: 80 − 125 A

6-3. Amperage Selection Table For Stick (SMAW) Electrodes

Use table to select correct amper- age for the electrode being used.

. For best results, use Stick electrodes designated for AC welding.

226 005-A

Values listed are suggested settings. Actual settings may vary depending on personal preference and/or specific application.

Suggested electrode for beginners is E7018 AC.
