AUXILIARY POWER CONTROLS

(Figure B.1 Items 15 - 19 )

15.120/240VAC RECEPTACLE: This is a 120/240VAC (14-50R) receptacle that provides 240VAC or can be split for 120VAC single phase auxiliary power. The receptacle has a 50 amp rating. Refer to “Auxiliary Power Receptacles” in the Installation section for further information about this receptacle. Also refer to “Auxiliary Power Operation” later in this section.

16.50 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKERS: These circuit breaker provide separate overload current protec- tion for each 120V circuit at the 240V receptacle.

17.120VAC RECEPTACLES: These two 120VAC (5- 15R) receptacles with GFCI protection provide 120VAC for auxiliary power. The receptacles have a 20 amp total rating. Refer to “Auxiliary Power Receptacles” in the Installation section for fur- ther information about these receptacles. Also refer to “Auxiliary Power Operation” later in this section.

18.15 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKERS: These circuit breakers provide separate overload current pro- tection for each 120V receptacle.

19.GROUND STUD: Provides a point for connecting the machine case to earth ground for the safest grounding procedure. Refer to “Machine Grounding” in the Installation section for proper machine grounding information.

WIRE FEEDER MODE CONTROLS

(Figure B.1 Items 20 - 24 Stick & Wire model only)

20.WELD OUTPUT TERMINAL - WIRE: This 1/2-13 stud with flange nut provides a welding connection point for the electrode or work cables. For positive polarity welding, the electrode cable connects to the “+” terminal and the work cable connects to the “-” terminal. For negative polarity welding, the work cable connects to the “+” terminal and the elec- trode cable connects to the “-” terminal.

21.15 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER: This circuit breaker provides overload protection for the 14-pin con- nector.

22.VOLTMETER +/- SWITCH: Changes the polarity display on the wire feeder.

23.VOLTS-AMPS SWITCH: Switches the display between volts and amps.

ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel fil- ter housing is in the open position (lever in line with the hose).

2.Check for proper oil level on the oil dipstick. Close engine compartment door.

3.Remove all plugs connected to the AC power recep- tacles.

4.Set the IDLER switch to “AUTO.”

5.Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN.” Observe that all engine protection lights momentarily turn on. Some lights may turn off before starting. Check the fuel gauge to make sure that there is an adequate fuel level.

6.Press and hold the engine START button for a min- imum of 2 seconds.

7.Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

8.Check that the indicator lights are off. If the LOW FUEL light is on , the engine will shut down 30 min- utes after starting. If any other indicator light is on after starting, the engine will shut down in a few seconds. Investigate any indicated problem.

9.Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even down to about 0oF.

If the engine must be frequently started below 10oF, it may be desirable to install the optional Ether Start kit (K825-1). Installation and operating instructions are included in the kit. Use ether starting only when required, because excessive use shortens engine life.
