5Operation of CWG
Ensure you are familiar with the functionality, operation
and all warnings associated with this equipment before
attempting any form of operation.
5.1 Basic CWG Operation and Monitoring
To start the CWG:
1. Check all personnel are clear of the CWG unit.
2. Press the Engine Start button (1).
3. The unit will move through a pre-start
sequence, then crank the engine.
To stop the CWG:
1. Push the Compressor Stop switch, if running
(see over page)
2. Press the Engine Stop button (2).
3. The unit will run a cool down sequence, then
cut the engine.
4. To cancel the cooldown sequence, press and
hold the Engine Stop button, then press the
return button (3).
5. In case of emergency, press the CWG
Emergency Stop button (see over page). This
should only be done in an emergency situation
as it bypasses the engine’s cooldown
sequence.
Monitoring the CWG:
Pressing the Engine Monitoring button (4)
displays the engine oil pressure, RPM and
operating hours.
Pressing the Alternator Monitoring button (5)
displays the alternator voltage, frequency and
current draw.
5.2 Utilising the 240V AC
The 240V AC power can be utilised at any time that
the CWG is running. However, to prevent stalling the
engine, the air compressor will be shut down at high
current draw (approximately 6A). At extremely high
current draw (20A), the clutch will also be disengaged.
5.2.1 Operating the Kemppi Welder
Due to the high yet intermittant current draw of arc
welding, it is recommended that the the air compressor
be switched off and clutch disengaged before welding
commences. Operating the air compressor while
welding may adversely affect the longevity of the
clutch.

5.3 Air Compressor Operation and
Monitoring
To start the air compressor:
1. Check all personnel are clear of the CWG unit.
2. Press the Compressor On button.
3. The clutch will engage immediately, and the
compressor load valve will operate
approximately 30 seconds afterward.
4. The compressor load valve will be modulated
to keep air pressure within an acceptable
range.
To stop the air compressor:
1. Push the Compressor Off switch.
2. The compressor will unload immediately, but
the clutch will remain engaged for several
minutes in order to cool the compressor oil.
The CWG must left running during this time
(cooldown cycle is acceptable).
Monitoring the air compressor:
The Compressor Air Pressure gauge displays
the air pressure available in the reservoir.
The Compressor Hours gauge tracks the air
compressor’s hours of operation.
The compressor’s filter/regulator must be set at
110 PSI or higher, otherwise compressor
activation will cause the engine to stall. If lower
pressure regulation is required, a separate
regulator must be used at the air outlets.
5.4 Compressor Overtemperature
The air compressor is protected by an over
temperature switch. If the compressor outlet reaches
105 °C the switch will shut down the compressor and
prevent it from restarting until it cools to 90 °C.
Possible causes:
1. Cooler filter element may be blocked.
2. Low compressor oil level.
5.5 Generator Has Priority
If the generator and compressor are running at the
same time, the generator takes priority when
undergoing a large current draw:
Above 6A –The compressor is unloaded,
clutch remains engaged.
Above 20A –The compressor is unloaded,
clutch is disengaged.
When underaking tasks with intermittant but high
current draw, such as welding, it is recommended that
the compressor is switched off to prevent excessive
cycling of the clutch.
