Engine Control Function/Operation
Rocker “Run/Stop” Switch (For Codes 10158, 10160 Only)
The two position “Run/Stop” switch is marked “I” and “O” on the red rocker and is located on the rear of the engine. In the run (I) position, the engine ignition circuit is energized, and the engine can be started by pulling the recoil rope starter. In the stop (O) position, the electronic ignition is grounded, and the engine shuts down.
“ON/OFF” Switch (For Codes 11183, 11406)
A two position switch located on the rear of the engine. In the “ON”(I) position, the engine ignition circuit is energized and the engine can be started by pulling the recoil rope starter. In the “OFF”(O) position, the electronic ignition is grounded and the engine shuts down.
“Idler Control” Switch (For Codes 10158, 10160 only)
The “idler switch” is located at the upper left of the control panel.
The switch has two positions:
1. In the “high idle” position ( 
), the idler is off and the engine runs at the high idle speed controlled by the governor.
2.In the “automatic idle” position ( 
/
) the idler operates as follows:
a.When welding or drawing auxiliary power (approximately 100 watts or higher) from the receptacles, the engine operates at full speed.
b.When welding ceases or the power load is turned off, the engine will remain at high idle for approximately 12 seconds before automatically shifting to low idle.
c.When the welding load or power load is reapplied, the engine will automatically return to high idle speed without delay.
Next, move the choke control lever on the engine to the “Chock” position.
Note: For a hot engine leave the chock control lever in the “Run” position.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
Set the “Idler Control” switch to the automatic position. Place the “Run/Stop” switch on the engine in the run
(I)position. To start, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull the cord rapidly. Slowly move the choke control to the “Run” position (opening the choke) immediately after the engine has started. The engine will go to low idle speed after approximately 12 seconds. Allow the engine to warm up gradually by letting it run at low idle for a few minutes.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
Place the “On/Off” switch on the engine in the run (I) position. To start, pull the starter cord slowly until resistance is felt, then pull the cord rapidly. Slowly move the choke control to the “Run” position (opening the choke) immediately after the engine has started. Allow the engine to warm up gradually by letting it run at low idle for a few minutes.
Stopping the Engine
Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and allow engine to run for a few minutes to cool the engine.
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
Stop the engine by placing the rocker “Run/Stop” switch in the “Stop” (O) position.
(For Codes 11183, 11406)
Stop the engine by placing the “On/Off” switch in the “Off” (O) position. Close the fuel shut off valve.
WARNING
Close the fuel valve when the machine is transported to prevent fuel leakage from the carburetor.
Starting/Shutdown Instructions
