General Operation - PowR-Quip Contractor Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Route the electrode and work cables together and secure
37
with tape when possible.
38
Never wrap the welder cables around the body.
39 Always place the electrode and work connectors so that
they are on the same side of the body.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may
40
have other health effects which are unknown.
MAKE ALWAYS SURE THE AREA OF SOLDERING
IS SAFE AND FREE OF HAZARDS (SPARKS,
FLAMES, THE RED METAL OR SLAG) BEFORE IT
IS ABANDONED. MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS
SHUTDOWN AND THE ELECTRODE HAS BEEN
REMOVED. MAKE SURE THAT THE WELDING
CABLES ARE LOOSE WOUND AND OUT OF THE
WAY. MAKE SURE THAT ALL METAL AND SLAG HAS
BEEN COOLED.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY MEASURES
Those who live and work in the United States must realize
that according to the laws of this country the following codes
apply for work with welders: ANSI Standard Z49.1, OSHA
29 CFR 1910, NFPA Standard 70, CGA Pamphlet P-1, CSA
Standard W117.2, NFPA Standard 51B ANSI Standard Z87.1.
Those people who are resident in Latin American countries
should consult local codes and regulations that apply in their
respective countries. Also all users should consult the safety
measures provided by the manufacturers of the products to
be used.
PRECAUTIONS FOR NOISE
The welder/generator can produce high levels of sound, a
prolonged exposition to above 85 dB sound level is harmful
to the ear. Wear ear protection when operating around the
generator while it is running
LOCATION GENERAL
LOCATION
The selection of the appropriate location to store the
welder/generator after use can increase significantly the
performance, reliability and life of the equipment.
1
For best results store the welder/generator in an
environment that is clean and dry. Dust and dirt in the unit
maintain moisture and increase wear of moving parts.
Store electrodes in a clean, dry location with low humidity
2
to preserve the flux coating.

GENERAL OPERATION

Check engine oil level. Oil shall not be mixed with
1
gasoline, however, adequate oil supply is necessary for
the lubrication of the engine. Refer to the engine manual
for the oil type and quantity specifications.
THE UNIT IS SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL IN THE ENGINE.
2 It is strongly recommended the use of a ground fault
interrupter (GFI). Ground fault circuit breakers can
significantly reduce the possibility of injury if a short circuit
occurs. To install a GFI, the neutral wire of the welder/
generator must be internally grounded to the frame of
the welder/generator, and the frame must be properly
grounded.

OPERATION OF THE EARTH INTERRUPTER WILL
NOT BE EFFECTIVE IF THE WELDER/GENERATOR
IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED TO EARTH.
REFER TO THE SECTION TITLED GROUNDING FOR
APPROPRIATE STEPS TO GROUND YOUR WELDER/
GENERATOR
3
When installing a GFI, be sure to comply with all national
and local regulations. If you are not sure about the
regulations or procedures, obtain assistance from a
qualified electrician.

LUBRICATION
Do not attempt to start this engine without filling the
crankcase with the amount and type of suitable oil. (Use
SAE 10W-30). Your unit has been shipped from the
factory without oil in the crankcase. Operating the unit
without oil can ruin the engine.
Fill the engine with oil according to the engine manual.
In this engine, the plastic cap on the casing contains a
bayonet with marks of full and empty.
5
THE LOW OIL LEVEL SENSOR
This unit is equipped with an oil low level sensor. Initially, if
the oil level is lower than the required, sensor will activate
a protective device to stop the engine. (See the attached
engine manual for more information).
If unit shuts off and the oil level is within specifications,
check that the unit is not positioned at an angle that forces
oil to vary its level. Place it on an even surface to correct
this problem. If the engine does not start, oil level could
be not sufficient to deactivate low oil level switch. Make
sure that the oil plug mark is at correct level.
6 FUEL
Fill the tank with unleaded gasoline for cars, clean, fresh.
You can use regular grade gasoline provided than it is
high octane rating (at least 90 octane). We recommend
that you always use a gasoline additive. A gasoline
additive will minimize the formation of fuel gum deposits
during storage. Gasoline additive can be added to the
gasoline in the tank or added to the fuel or gasoline in a
storage container.
Fuel and engine smoke are flammable, and potentially
explosive. Use an appropriate procedure to store and
handle fuel. Always maintain ABC fire extinguishers on
hand.
CAUTION
Do not overfill the tank. Maintain a maximum
level of fuel to 1/4 inch below the top of the
fuel tank. This will allow expansion in hot
weather, thus avoiding spillage.
