SAFETY

SAFETY LABEL LOCATIONS

These labels warn you of potential hazards that can cause serious injury. Read them carefully.

If a label comes off or becomes hard to read, contact your Generator dealer for a replacement.

SAFETY INFORMATION

Our generator/welders are designed to give safe and dependable service if operated according to

instructions. Reed and understand this owner's manual before operating your generator/welder. You

can held prevent accidents by being familiar with your generator/welder's controls, and by observing

safe operating procedures.

Operator Responsibility

gKnow how to stop the generator/welder quickly in case of emergency.

gUnderstand the use of all generator/welder controls, output receptacles, and connections.

gBe sure that anyone who operates the generator/welder receives proper instruction. Do not let

children operate the generator/welder without parental supervision.

Carbon Monoxide Hazards

gExhaust contains poisonous carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas. Breathing exhaust can

cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.

gIf you run the generator/welder in an area that is confined, or even partially enclosed, the air you

breathe could contain a dangerous amount of exhaust gas. To keep exhaust gas from building up,

provide adequate ventilation.

Electric Shock Hazards

gThe generator/welder produces enough electric power to cause a serious shock or electrocution if

misused.

gUsing a generator/welder or electrical appliance in wet conditions, such as rain or snow, or near a

pool or sprinkler system, or when your hands are wet, could result in electrocution. Keep the

generator/welder dry.

gIf the generator/welder is stored outdoors, unprotected from the weather, check all electrical

components on the control panel, before each use. Moisture or ice can cause a malfunction or short

circuit in electrical components which could result in electrocution.

gDo not connect to a building's electrical system unless an isol8tion switch has been installed by a

qualified electrician.

Fire and Burn Hazards

gThe exhaust system gets hot enough to ignite some materials.

üKeep the generator/welder at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from buildings and other equipment

during operation.

üDo not enclose the generator/welder in any structure.

üKeep flammable materials away from the generator/welder.

gThe muffler becomes very hot during operation and remains hot for a while after stopping the

engine. Be careful not to touch the muffler while it is hot. Let the engine cool before storing the

generator/welder indoors.

gGasoline is extremely flammable and is explosive under certain conditions. Do not smoke or allow

flames or sparks where the generator/welder is refueled or where gasoline is stored. Refuel in a

well-ventilated area with the engine stopped.

gFuel vapors are extremely flammable and may ignite after the engine has started. Make sure that any

spilled fuel has been wiped up before starting the generator/welder.

gUse adequate eye protection. Eye protection is of the utmost importance, not only for the operator,

but also for any other personnel in the vicinity while welding is being done. Eye hazards include arc

glare, reflected glare, stray flashes, sparks, and flying bits of molten metal.

gLooking at a welding arc with unprotected eyes may produce severe pain and even temporary

blindness.

gUse a helmet or hand-held shield with a #10 or darker filter lens. Filter lenses eliminate the harmful

effects of infrared and ultraviolet radiation from the arc and reduce the glare from the arc light as

well.

gWear protective clothing such as leather gloves, cap, sleeves, jacket, apron, and high-top safety

shoes. All outer clothing must be free of oil and grease.

OMPONENT IDENTIFICATION

gRecord the engine and frame serial numbers for your future reference. Refer to these serial numbers

when ordering parts, and when making technical or warranty inquiries.

CONTROLS

Engine Switch

To start and stop the engine.

Switch position:

OFF: To stop the engine.

ON: To run the engine.

Recoil Starter

To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until resistance is felt, then pull briskly.

NOTICE:

Do not allow the starter grip to snap back against the engine. Return it gently to prevent damage

to the starter.

Fuel Valve Lever

The fuel valve is located between the fuel tank and carburetor. When the fuel valve lever is in the

ON position, fuel is allowed to flow from the fuel tank to the carburetor. Be sure to return the fuel

lever to the OFF position after stopping the engine.

Choke Rod

The choke is used to provide an enriched fuel mixture when starting a cold engine. It can be opened

and closed by operating the choke rod manually. Pull the rod out toward CLOSED to enrich the

mixture for cold starting.

Circuit Breaker

The circuit breaker will automatically switch OFF if there is a short circuit or a significant overload

of the generator at the receptacle. If the circuit breaker is switched OFF automatically, check that the

appliance is working properly and does not exceed the rated load capacity of the circuit before

switching the circuit breaker ON again.

The circuit breaker may be used to switch the generator power ON or OFF.

Oil Alert System

The Oil Alert System is designed to prevent engine damage caused by an insufficient of oil in the

crankcase. Before the oil level in the crankcase can fall below a safe limit, the oil alert system will

automatically stop the engine (the engine switch will remain in the ON position). If the engine stops

and will not restart, check the engine oil level before troubleshooting in other areas.

DC Receptacle

The DC receptacle may ONLY be used for charging 12 volt automotive type batteries.

The battery must be connected to the generator DC receptacle with the proper polarity (battery

positive to generator positive (+) and battery negative to the generator negative (-)).

WARNING:

Do not start the vehicle while the battery charging cable is connected and the generator is running.

The vehicle or the generator may be damaged.

AC/DC (Weld) Selector Switch

The AC/DC (Weld) selector switch is located on the control panel.

gTo avoid accidental arcing, one cable end should be firmly attached

to the object to be welded, and the electrode holder at the end of the

other cable should be held in the operator's hand. DC voltage is

present at the welding terminals at all times, regardless of the

position of the AC/DC(WELD) selector.

gUnder no circumstances should any type of electrical appliance be

plugged into any of the AC receptacles when the selector is in the DC (WELD) position. AC voltage

is present at the AC receptacle at all times, regardless of the position of the AC/DC (WELD) selector.

However, when this selector is in the DC (WELD) position, the AC voltage is unregulated and

fluctuates considerably.
