WELDER/GENERATOR CONTROLS

See Figure B.1 for the location of the following features:

1.CURRENT CONTROL DIAL: Adjusts continuous cur- rent output. The amperages on the dial correspond to the approximate amperages needed for specific Lincoln welding electrodes.

2.20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER: Provides overload cur- rent protection for the 120 Volt and 240 Volt Receptacles

3.WELD POSITIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL: Provides the connection point for either the electrode holder or the work cable. (Because the OUTBACK™ 145 is a DC output machine, either output terminal can be used for either cable.)

4.WELD NEGATIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL: Provides the connection point for either the electrode holder or the work cable. (Because the OUTBACK™145 is a DC output machine, either output terminal can be used for either cable.)

5.GROUND STUD: Provides a connection point for connecting the machine case to earth ground for the safest grounding procedure.

6.240 VOLT RECEPTACLE: Connection point for sup- plying 250 volt power to operate one electrical device.

7.120 VOLT DUPLEX RECEPTACLES (2): Connection point for supplying 120 volt power to operate one or has run for maintenance purposes.

8.HOUR METER: Records the time that the engine has run for maintenance purposes.
