.Weld and generator power output stops if generator overheats or engine speed is too low.
1 Engine Switch
Use switch to open ignition circuit, and to stop engine.
2 Throttle Control Lever
Use lever to select engine speed. Use 50 Hz or 60 Hz position for 50 or 60 Hz generator power. Use 60 Hz position for maximum weld output.
3 Choke Control Lever
Use lever to change engine air/fuel mix. Move lever to right if starting a cold engine. Move le- ver to left if starting a warm engine.
To Start (Electric): open fuel valve (see Sec- tion
YIf engine does not start, let engine come to a complete stop before at- tempting restart.
4 Starter Handle
To Start (Recoil): open fuel valve (see Sec- tion
To Stop: turn 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.

6Welding Range Label
Use label to determine correct weld amper- age based on electrode size, type, and mate- rial thickness.
7 Current Control
Use control to select weld amperage. Control may be adjusted while welding.
To Set Current Control: Use label to deter- mine correct size electrode for material thick- ness. Select electrode type and set current control to corresponding amperage range. Adjust control to obtain desired weld performance.
EXAMPLE:
Material Thickness: 1/8 to 1/4 in
Electrode Diameter: 1/8
Electrode Type:
Current Control Setting: 90 − 120 A
