Subaru Robin Power Products EH65 manual Speed Control Adjustments, Troubleshooting

Speed Control Adjustments

Engine speed adjustment must be attempted only by a qualified me- chanic and the adjustments must be made using an accurate tachom- eter. It is recommended that low-idle speed be adjusted between 2150 to 2250 RPM and high idle speed 3700 to 3800 RPM. Check in your welder manufacture’s manual for exact speed settings.
