SECTION 6 − OPERATING THE WELDING GENERATOR
If the unit is extremely overloaded, weld and generator power will stop. Turn unit off
and restart to reset the generator protection circuit and restore weld and generator
power output.
If the rated output of the unit is exceeded, engine speed may vary rapidly until the
weld or generator power load is reduced.
