Checking the engine oil level and topping up
1.
If the unit has been used, leave to cool for at least 30 minutes
2.
Remove the oil dipstick/filler plug (A2-B1) by unscrewing it, and wipe the dipstick.
3.
Insert the oil dipstick/filler plug in the filler neck (B2) without tightening it, then take it out again.
4.
Visually check the level: it must be between the upper limit (B3) and lower limit (B4) on the dipstick.
If the oil level is too low: open the oil filler cap, use a funnel to top up the tank (using oil that complies with the specifications in the
manual), then screw the oil filler plug back in.
If the oil level is too high: drain some of the oil into a suitable container.
5.
Check the level again before screwing the oil dipstick/filler plug back in fully.
6.
Check that there are no oil leaks, and wipe away any traces of oil with a clean cloth.
4.4
Checking the fuel level and topping up
1.
Unscrew the fuel tank cap (A3).
2.
Visually check the level of fuel.
3.
If necessary, fill the fuel tank using a funnel, taking care not to spill any fuel.
Do not overfill the tank; there should not be any fuel in the filler neck.
4.
Screw the fuel tank cap back on.
5.
All traces of fuel should be wiped off with a clean cloth.
4.5
Starting the welding set
1.
Open the fuel tap (A4).
2.
If the outside temperature is low or if the unit is cold, place the choke (A5) in the "I" or "
3.
Move the switch (A6) to "
4.
Slowly pull the starter-recoil reel handle (A7) until there is some resistance then let it return gently.
5.
Then pull the starter-recoil reel handle quickly and sharply until the engine starts.
If the engine does not start, wait one minute before repeating the process no more than three times.
4.6
Carry out welding
1.
Connect the (+) and (-) plugs into the (+) (A9) and (-) sockets (A8).
2.
Select the required welding current using switches (A11).
For safety reasons, it is recommended to disconnect the user loads during welding.
4.6.1 Select the electrode
The unit is designed to weld using electrodes of any type (rutile, basic, cellulose). The diameter of the electrode will depend on the
thickness of the material, the position of the part and the type of joint. Naturally, larger diameters require higher current and will
generate more heat during welding.
When making a weld, it is recommended to use smaller diameters and make several successive passes to reduce the weld flow.
4.6.2 Select the welding current
The welding current range is recommended by the electrode manufacturer and is indicated on the packaging of the electrodes: to
select the correct welding current, use the welding range selector (A10) and the welding current switch (A11).
4.6.3 Welding instructions
1.
Connect the earth cable plug to the "-" female terminal (A8) (or, for welding with the polarity reversed, to the "+" female
terminal (A9)).
2.
Connect the ground cable to the component to be welded.
3.
Connect the electrode holder cable plug to the "+" female terminal (or, for welding with the polarity reversed, to the "-"
female terminal).
4.
On the welding range selector (A10), select the required welding range.
5.
On the welding current switch (A11), select the welding current to match the position chosen on the welding range
selector.
6.
Carry out welding.
4.7
Using the electricity supplied
1.
Allow the unit speed to stabilise and the temperature to rise (approx. 3 to 5 min.).
2.
If the choke (A5) was used, return it gradually to its original position.
3.
Connect the equipment to be used to the electrical sockets (A12) on the unit.
For France only: Our generating sets are fitted with European (Schuko type) sockets where the earthing contact is made using side tabs. In
exceptional cases where your units require the use of earthing pins, we supply* a 16 A pin adaptor (compliant with NF C 61-314).
*Contact our sales department on 0 825 004 002 (calls charged at €0.15 per min inc. tax) and provide proof of purchase.
After use, always disconnect the adaptor and store it carefully, away from sources of humidity. Always ensure that the
socket cover on the generating set is closed: risk of damage (loss of seal).
