LIMITATIONS
•The POWERARC® 5500 is not recommended for any processes besides those that are normally per- formed using stick welding (SMAW) procedures.
•The POWERARC® 5500 is not recommended for pipe thawing.
•During welding, generator power is limited to 100 watts, and output voltages can drop from 120 to 80 volts and 240 to 160 volts. Therefore, DO NOT OPERATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIP- MENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
All generator/welder controls are located on the Output Control Panel. Gasoline engine controls are mounted on the engine. See Figures B.1 and B.2 and the explanations that follow.
GENERATOR/WELDER CONTROLS
See Figure B.1 for the location of the following fea- tures:
1.CURRENT CONTROL DIAL: Adjusts continuous current output. The amperages on the dial corre- spond to the average amperages needed for spe- cific Lincoln welding electrodes.
2.ELECTRODE SELECTION GUIDE: Provides rec- ommended electrode type, size, and welder out- put setting based on the thickness of the work.
3.WELD OUTPUT TERMINAL (TO ELECTRODE HOLDER) WITH 1/2 - 13 FLANGE NUT: Provides the connection point for either the electrode hold- er or the work cable. (Because the POWERARC® 5500 is an AC output machine, either output ter- minal can be used for either cable.)
