High Idle RPM (OCV) Adjustment- A potentiometer
is mounted on the output rail that allows the operator to
adjust the high idle engine speed between 1500 and
1600 RPM in 20 RPM increments. This is to allow fur-
ther adjustment of the OCV. Total OCV adjustment
range is about 10 Volts.
ENGINE OPERATION
STARTING THE GM 3.0L ENGINE
• Turn the Idler control switch to “HIGH”. (Optional)
• Turn the Ignition switch to “ON”.
• Press the “Start” button.
• If the engine fails to start in 20 seconds, wait 30 sec-
onds before repeating the above procedure.
• Allow the engine to run at high idle speed for sever-
al minutes to warm up. If idle control switch is left in
“Auto” position , engine will run at 1600 RPM until
engine coolant temperature reaches 130°F.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
• Turn the Ignition switch to “OFF”.
At the end of each dayʼs welding, refill the fuel tank to
minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Also, run-
ning out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.
When hauling the welder between job sites, close the
fuel feed valve beneath the fuel tank. Refer to engine
“Operation and Maintenance manual” for additional
information on the engine supplied with this welder.
WELDER OPERATION
DUTY CYCLE
The NEMA output rating of the Pipeliner® 200G is 200
amperes at 28
(1)
arc volts on a 60% duty cycle. Duty
cycle is based on a ten minute period; thus, the welder
can be loaded at rated output for six minutes out of
every ten minute period.
