WELDING
Check that the surfaces of metals to be welded are free
1
from dirt, rust, paint, oil and other contaminants. These
pollutants make difficult the welding operation and cause
poor welds.
ALL THOSE PERSONNEL WHO USE THIS EQUIPMENT
OR WHO ARE IN THE AREA WHILE EQUIPMENT IS
BEING USED SHALL WEAR PROTECTION FOR
WELDING THAT INCLUDE: EYE PROTECTION
WITH PROPER SHADE (10 SHADE MIN), CLOTHING
RESISTANT TO FLAMES, WELDING LEATHER
GLOVES AND FEET TOTAL PROTECTION.
IF WELDING OR CUTTING MATERIALS ARE
GALVANIZED, OR ZINC, LEAD OR CADMIUM PLATED
REFER TO THE SECTION OF SAFETY INFORMATION
FOR INSTRUCTIONS. WHEN THESE METALS ARE
HEATED EMIT EXTREMELY TOXIC GAS.
Connect work clamp to the work piece. Make sure that
2
the contact made on bare metal and are not clogged with
paint, varnish, rust or non-metallic materials.
3
Insert the exposed part of the electrode (the end without
flux) within the jaws of the electrode holder.
4
Place the adjustment knob amperage in the rating suitable
for the diameter of the electrode. Refer to the table on the
front panel for proper electrode current values.

IS RUNNING.
5
Position the electrode to begin weld, lower welding helmet
or position the hand shield and set the arc. Adjust the
amperage welding as required.
6
When finished welding, turn the engine off and store the
unit properly.
DUTY CYCLE / THERMAL PROTECTION
Welder duty cycle is the percentage of actual weld time
that can occur in a ten minute interval. For example, at
a 10% duty cycle can occur during one minute, and then
the welder must be left to cool for nine minutes.
The internal components of this welder are protected
against overheating with an automatic thermal switch.

STORAGE
If the equipment is not used for long periods of time, the
1
following prior to storage procedures must be performed:
2
Check the oil level and add oil if necessary.
Run the equipment until fuel is exhausted.
3
4
Remove the spark plug and pour about a teaspoon of oil
into the spark plug hole.
5 Pull the starter rope several times to distribute the oil
throughout the cylinder and combustion chamber.
6
Slowly pull the starter rope until you feel resistance.
This indicates that the piston is moving upward in the
compression cycle and that the intake and exhaust valves
are closed. (The piston pushes a small amount of air
from the spark plug in the compression hole) The use of
fuel stabilizers helps prevent gum and varnish buildup
in fuel system.
7
Whenever the equipment is stored, make sure that the
fuel shut-off valve is in closed position.
8
Refer to the engine manual accompanying this unit
for instructions regarding maintenance of engine
components.
NEVER MODIFY THE SPEED AND FREQUENCY
SETTINGS THE WELDER/GENERATOR HAS AS
DONE AT THE FACTORY. ANY ADJUSTMENT MUST
BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
WELDING CABLES
Check condition of weld cables and repair or replace
1
immediately any cables with damaged insulation.
2
Check condition of electrode holder insulating pieces and
immediately replace cracked or missing parts.
Every 3 months: Replace any unreadable labels on the
welder. Use compressed air to blow all the dirt and lint
from the ventilation openings.
