Starting The Engine - PowR-Quip Contractor Serie Manual De Instrucciones

2
Refer to the nameplate on the welder/generator for the power
and amperage ratings.
Note: The required power can be calculated by multiplying the
volts and the amperes. The resulting number is the power in
watts.
Always switch off and remove the electric load before turn on or
3
off the welder/generator engine.
4 Refer to the table for minimum sizes of extension cord in
accordance with the needs of loads.
5 When the load increases you must use an extension cord of
bigger size. Use of inappropriate AWG size extensions can cause
serious problems with voltage, resulting in a loss of energy and
damage of the tools.
The smaller the AWG number is, the higher the conductor
6
amperage. A 14 AWG conductor, for example, can carry out a
current higher than that corresponding to a 16 AWG one.
7 When there are connected multiple extensions it must checked
that each extension is of the minimum recommended cable size.
If an extension is used with outputs for more than one apparatus
8
sum the amperes of the nameplate of each one of the devices
to determine the minimum extension cord size.
9 The extensions for 120 V outputs shall be 3-wire ones, where the
green wire is the ground wire, the white or gray lead is connected
to the neutral of generator, and the black wire is the hot wire.
Extensions for 125/250 outputs shall be 4-wire ones, where the
10
green wire is the ground wire, the white or gray lead is connected
to the neutral of generator, and black and red wires are the hot
wires.

If not load real watts are known, table 1 can be used as
a general guide.
Remember that apparatuses which generate heat during
operation such as heaters, incandescent lamps, motors
and hair dryers, require a power higher than devices that
generate little heat during operation such as fluorescent
lamps, radios and clocks.
Power cords and extension cords may require additional
power depending of the cord length . Keep cords of
the smaller possible length. See tables 3 and 4 for
the recommended extension cords size and length
depending on the amperage or wattage.
The circuit protection is provided by two OPS (thermal
breaker) that opens when the welder/generator load
exceeds its maximum capacity or a short circuit occurs.
If the OPS is activated, use the following procedure to
correct the problem:
a. turn off and unplug all electrical load.
b. try to determine the cause of the electrical problem -
overload or short circuit.
c. do not use any device that has a short circuit. Avoid
overloading the welder/generator
d. press the OPS button to reset it.
A REPEATED OPERATION OF THE OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR INDICATES A PROBLEM AND
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT OR
ELECTRICAL DEVICES. DO NOT OPERATE THE
WELDER/GENERATOR IF THE OPS IS REPETEADLY
ACTIVATED.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AS
EMERGENCY GENERATOR
1
Caution to avoid feedback to public services systems.
This requires an isolation of the electrical system. To
isolate the electrical system, perform the following
procedures.
2 Turn off the main electrical system switch prior to
connecting the equipment.
In accordance with national and local standards, two-
3
throw transfer switch must be installed in the system.
ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MAIN SUPPLY BEFORE
TEMPORARILY CONNECTING THE WELDER/
GENERATOR TO A BUILDING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.
THE INSTALLATION OF YOUR WELDER/GENERATOR
AS A BACKUP POWER SOURCE MUST BE
PERFORMED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
CAUTION BEFORE STARTING
Before starting the unit, check for loose or missing parts
and any kind of damage that may have occurred during
the sent.

STARTING THE ENGINE

Check the oil level.

2
Disconnect all electrical loads from the unit. Open the
fuel shut-off valve.

If the engine is cold move the choke to the right lever.
Move the start switch to the "ON" position.
