To Stop:

DTurn Engine switch to Off.

.Always close fuel valve after stopping

unit. Moving unit with fuel valve open may cause carburetor flooding and make starting difficult.

4 Welding Range Table

Use table to determine correct weld amper- age based on electrode size, type, and mate- rial thickness.

5 Weld Output Control

.Set control at maximum for full generator power output at AC receptacles

Use control to select weld amperage. Control may be adjusted while welding.

To Set Weld Output Control: Use table to determine correct size electrode for weld am- perage. Select electrode type and set control to corresponding amperage range on name- plate. Adjust control to obtain desired weld performance.

EXAMPLE:

Electrode Diameter: 1/8

Electrode Type: E-6013

Current Control Setting: 90 − 120 A

Notes

Work like a Pro!

Pros weld and cut safely. Read the safety rules at the beginning of this manual.
