cold and on a level surface. Unit is
shipped with 10W30 engine oil.

. Follow run-in procedure in engine


manual.

. This unit has a low oil pressure shut-


down switch. However, some condi-
tions may cause engine damage be-
fore the engine shuts down. Check
oil level often and do not use the oil
pressure shutdown system to moni-
tor oil level.
Fuel
Add fresh fuel before starting engine the
first time (see maintenance label for
specifications). Fill fuel tank up to 1/2 in.

surface. If oil is not up to full mark on dip-
stick, add oil (see maintenance label).

PART NAME FUNCTION PICTURE CIRCUIT SYMBOL

CAPACITOR A device that stores electrical energy. Large


POLARIZED NON-POL.
capacitors or a “bank” of capacitors can be
used to “smooth out” the DC welding arc in a
MIG welding power source. Smaller “disk” C1 C1
capacitors can be used for HF protection.

CIRCUIT BREAKER A protection device that breaks a circuit when


current levels exceed its rating. Unlike a fuse CB1
that needs to be replaced when blown, a
circuit breaker can be reset.

DIODE A device that allows current to flow in one


direction only. Most common use is to D1
change AC to DC.

FUSE A protection device, usually an enclosed


piece of wire that melts and breaks the circuit F1
when the current exceeds the fuse rating.

HALL DEVICE Produces a small DC voltage proportional to


the current it is sensing (usually welding HD1
current). This feedback signal can be used to
regulate the welding output (line voltage
compensation). It may even be used to drive
an ammeter.

RESISTOR A device which resists the flow of electric FIXED R1


current. Uses include limiting the current for a
motor brake circuit in a wire feeder and for
discharging a capacitor.
FIXED TAPPED R1

POTENTIOMETER Both devices have a moveable brush that


OR makes contact along a resistor, allowing you
RHEOSTAT to easily change the resistance measured at
the brush (sometimes referred to as a wiper).
Their primary purpose is to give the operator VARIABLE R1
a way to adjust welding parameters such as
wire speed, preflow time, voltage,
inductance, etc.

VARISTOR A protection device whose resistance is


dependent on the voltage applied to it. In
normal operation it has a high resistance; VR1
however, a surge of voltage (voltage spike)
will cause its resistance to go way down and
absorb the spike. These devices are most
often found in rectifying circuits, where they
are used to protect the diodes.

devices include turning on a fan motor when NRM OPEN NRM CLOSED
needed and shutting off the output of a

STABILIZER/ When placed in a DC circuit, the inductor or


REACTOR stabilizer as it is usually called, will oppose
any change in existing current. It is therefore Z1
widely used to “stabilize” the welding arc.
When the inductor is placed in an AC circuit it
is referred to as a reactor where it now acts L1
to restrict the flow of current. A “tapped
reactor” is used to create current ranges for
welding.

shown.
Check engine speeds, and adjust if
necessary (see Section 7-6 or 8-6).
1 120 Volt AC Receptacles RC2
And RC3
2 240 Volt AC Receptacle RC1
Check voltage at receptacles. With
no load applied, there should be
125 – 132 volts ac present at RC2
and RC3, and 228 – 264 volts pres-
ent at RC1.
3 Weld Output Terminals
Check open-circuit voltages
between terminals according to
Section 11-2 (voltages V10, V11,
V12, and V13).
If correct voltages are not present,
repeat troubleshooting procedures
in Section 11-1.
Y Stop engine and let cool.
Complete pre-operational checks
in table. Reinstall cover and side
panels.
