STOPPING THE ENGINE
1.Remove all welding and generator power loads and let the engine cool by running it for several minutes at low idle.
2.Place the IGNITION switch in the OFF position.
The engine controls were properly set at the factory and should require no adjusting when received.
At the end of each day’s welding, refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Also, run- ning out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.
Check the crankcase oil level.
When hauling the welder between job sites, close the fuel feed valve beneath the fuel tank. Failure to turn the fuel off when traveling can cause carburetor flooding and difficult starting at the new job site.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
Follow the instructions on the nameplate and in the engine manual shipped with the welder. With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even when the air tempera- ture is down to about 0oF
It is important to follow the engine manufacturer’s rec- ommendations for oil and fuel to obtain satisfactory cold weather performance. Consult the Engine manu- al and the Maintenance section of this manual.
