TLW-300SS — INSTRUMENTATION
Power Outlets
The welder/AC generator has the following single-phase 60
Hz, 120/240 volt receptacles.
Single Phase
One Duplex NEMA (GFCI) 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp)
One Twist Lock-Non-NEMA CS6369
One Twist Lock NEMA L14-30R (120/240V, 25 Amp)
One Twist Lock NEMA L5-30R (120V, 25 Amp)
Main Circuit Breaker
This 42 amp breaker protects the welder/AC generator from
short circuiting or overloading from the 60 Hz single-phase
load.
Protection Breakers
Each receptacle has individual breakers to protect them from
an overload. The main circuit breaker is also for receptacle
number 1, L14-30R; number 2 breaker is for the CS6369; the
number 3 breaker is for the L5-30R; and the number 4 breaker
is for the GFCI receptacle.

CAUTION :
When using a combination of dual
receptacles, total load should not exceed
the rated capacity of the welder/AC
generator set.
Idle Control Switch
The TLW-300SS Welder/AC generator is provided with an
automatic idle (engine) control capability for noise
suppression and fuel cost reduction. The automatic idle
control feature automatically engages under a no-load
condition.
When the Idle Control Switch is placed in the “ON” position,
the engine revolutions will be approximately 2200 rpm (low-
speed operation). When a load is connected to one of the
output receptacles, the engine speed will a u t o m a t i c a l l y
increase to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) within 10
seconds. Conversely, when the load is removed, the engine
speed will automatically drop back down to 2200 rpm within
10 seconds.
With AC loads of more than 150W (such as lighting
equipment, motor-powered tools, submersible water pumps,
etc.), the engine runs at high speed. When a no load condition
is produced, the engine automatically slows down.
Turn the idle control switch to the “ON” (up) position when
AC loads of more than 150W are connected. Turn the idle
control switch to the “OFF” (down) position when AC loads
of less than 100W or when a magnetic switch is used.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located next to the control panel on the
left side.
GFCI Receptacle
Before connecting a load to the generator's GFCI receptacle,
push the "Test Button" on the front of receptacle before
connecting the load, to confirm that the receptacle is
functioning correctly.
