tacles, use GFCI-protected extension

cord.

NOTICE − Disconnect equipment from auxil-

iary power receptacles during start−up and

shutdown. Some equipment can be dam-

aged by changes in frequency as engine

rpms change during start-up and shutdown.

.

Generator power decreases as weld
current increases.

Set Fine Control R1 at 10 for full genera-

tor power.

1

240 V 50 A AC Receptacle RC1

RC1 supplies 60 Hz single-phase power at

weld/power speed. Maximum output is 10

kVA/kW. See section 7-3 for information on

wiring optional 240 V single-phase plug.
2

120 V 20 A Duplex Receptacle RC2

3

120 V 20 A Duplex Receptacle RC3

RC2 and RC3 supply 60 Hz single-phase

power at weld/power speed. Maximum out-

put from RC2 or RC3 is 2.4 kVA/kW.
4

Supplementary Protector CB1

CB1 protects receptacles RC1, RC2, and

RC3 from overload. If CB1 opens, the recep-

tacles do not work. Place switch in On posi-

tion to reset.

Optional 120 V 20 A AC GFCI Recep-

tacles GFCI-2 and GFCI-3

GFCI2 and GFCI3 supply 60 Hz single-

phase power at weld/power speed. Maxi-

mum output from GFCI-2 or GFCI-3 is 2.4

kVA/kW. Circuit protection is the same as

standard receptacles.
If a ground fault is detected, the GFCI Reset

button pops out and the circuit opens to dis-

connect the faulty equipment. Check for

damaged tools, cords, plugs, etc. connected

to the receptacle. Press button to reset re-

ceptacle and resume operation.

.

At least once a month, run engine at
weld/power speed and press Test button

to verify GFCI is working properly.

Combined output of all receptacles limited to

10 kVA/kW rating of the generator.
EXAMPLE: If 20 A is drawn from each 120

V duplex receptacle, only 21 A is available at

the 240V receptacle:
2 x (120 V x 20 A) + (240 V x 21 A) = 10 kVA/

kW
