.

Weld and generator power output stops if
generator overheats or engine speed is
too low.

1

Engine Switch

On models with recoil-start, use switch to

open ignition circuit, and to stop engine.
On models with electric-start, use switch to

open ignition circuit, and to start and stop en-

gine.
2

Throttle Control Lever

Use lever to select engine speed. Use 50 Hz

or 60 Hz position for generator power. Use 60

Hz position for maximum weld output.
3

Choke Control Lever

Use lever to change engine air/fuel mix. Move

lever to left if starting a cold engine. Move le-

ver to right if starting a warm engine.
4

Starter Handle (Recoil-Start Models

Only)

To Start (Recoil): open fuel valve, turn engine

switch to On, move throttle lever to Idle, set

choke, and pull starter handle. Open choke as

engine warms.
To Start (Electric): open fuel valve, move

Welding Range Label

Use label to determine correct weld amper-

age based on electrode size, type, and mate-

rial thickness.
7

Current Control

Use control to select weld amperage. Control

may be adjusted while welding.
To Set Current Control: Use label to deter-

mine correct size electrode for material thick-

ness. Select electrode type and set current

control to corresponding amperage range on

nameplate. Adjust control within selected

range to obtain desired weld performance.
EXAMPLE:
Material Thickness: 1/8 to 1/4 in
Electrode Diameter: 1/8
Electrode Type: E-6013
Current Control Setting: 90 − 120 A
