the RUN position and the engine is not operating.

1) In the HIGH position, the engine runs at the high idle
speed controlled by the engine governor.
2) In the AUTO position, the idler operates as follows:
• When switched from HIGH to AUTO or after starting
the engine, the engine will operate at full speed for
approximately 12 seconds and then go to low idle
speed.
• When the electrode touches the work or power is
drawn for lights or tools (approximately 100 Watts mini-
mum), the engine accelerates and operates at full
speed.
• When welding ceases or the AC power load is turned
off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12 seconds
starts. If the welding or AC power load is not restarted
before the end of the time delay, the idler reduces the
engine speed to low idle speed.
• The engine will automatically return to high idle speed
when there is welding load or AC power load reapplied.

is in the "ON" position prior to starting the
engine.However if the engine is not started within
60 seconds the light will come on. When this hap

RUN-STOP switch is in the "ON" position. It will
come on during cranking and stay on until the
engine starts. After starting the engine the light will
