This welder is shipped with the negative battery cable dis-
connected. Make sure that the Engine Switch is in the
“STOP” position and attach the disconnected cable securely
to the negative battery terminal before attempting to operate
the machine. If the battery is discharged and does not have
enough power to start the engine, see the battery charging
instructions in the Battery section.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged bat-
tery; if unused for several months, the battery may require a
booster charge. Be careful to charge the battery with the
correct polarity.
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work cables
to the studs provided. These connections should be
checked periodically and tightened if necessary. Loose con-
nections will result in overheating of the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the welder,
be sure you use ample size welding cables. Listed below
are copper cable sizes recommended for the rated current
and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the
welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes
are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of
minimizing cable voltage drop.
