Multiquip GLW-180H operation manual Current Regulator Switch, AC Power Range

CAUTION :

When using a combination of dual receptacles, total load should not exceed the rated capacity of the generating.

The definitions below describe the controls and functions of the of the GLW-180 H Generator/Welder.

1.Ground Terminal Equipment – If required ground equipment (power tools etc,) to this ground terminal.This ground is not EARTH ground.

2.120 VAC Twist Lock Receptacle – This unit is supplied with one Twist Lock NEMA L5-30R (120V, 30 Amp) output receptacle.

3.120 VAC GFCI Receptacle – This unit is supplied with one Duplex NEMA (GFCI) 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp) output receptacle.

4.ACVoltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a mark) the rated 60 Hz, 120 VAC single phase output voltage. In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a diagnostic tool.

If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist (low/high RPM's).To prevent damage to the generator or power tools turn the generator OFF and consult your authorized Multiquip service dealer.

5.Circuit Breaker – This single-pole, 40 amp breaker is provided to protect both 120 VAC output receptacles from overload.

6.Operation Switch – Must be in the up position (ON) for normal operation.To turn-off generator place this switch in the down position (OFF).

7.Current Regulator – Use this dial to adjust the welder's output to the desired setting.

8.Idle Control Switch – This unit is provided with an automatic idle control for noise suppression and reduced fuel consumption.The automatic idle control automatically enGLWges under a no-load condition.

With the automatic idle control switched “ON”, the engine revolutions will automatically drop to about 2500 rpm (low- speed operation) within 3 seconds after the load stops.

When the operation is resumed, the engine speed is automatically increased to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as soon as the load is connected.

9.Current Regulator Selector Switch –Two position switch, left position selects minimum current output (min.-130 amps), right position selects maximum current output (max.-180).

10.DC OutputTerminals – Connect the welder's (+) and (-) welding cables to these terminals.

11.Fuel Tank – The fuel GLWuge is located on the fuel tank and allows easy monitoring of the fuel level.

12.Chassis Ground – Connect earth ground (ground rod) to this lug. See Figure 3.

CAUTION :

When AC power is required, ALWAYS place the current regulator dial in the AC power using range.

CAUTION :

NEVER turn the load ON or OFF by
