The CT 230 engine driven welder is a unit which ensures the function as:
a) a current source for are welding
b) a current source for the auxiliary generation
Unit meant for industrial and professional use, powered by an endothermic engine; it is composed of various main parts such as:
engine, alternator, electric and electronic controls, the fairing or a protective structure.
The assembling is made on a steel structure, on which are provided elastic support which must damp the vibrations and also
eliminate sounds which would produce noise.

Declared power according to ISO 3046-1 (temperature 25°C, 30% relative humidity, altitude 100 m above sea level).
It’s admitted overload of 10% each hour every 12 h.
In an approximative way one reduces: of 1% every 100 m altitude and of 2.5% for every 5°C above 25°C.
ACOUSTIC POWER LEVEL
ATTENTION: The concrete risk due to the machine depends on the conditions in which it is used. Therefore, it is up to the end-
user and under his direct responsibility to make a correct evaluation of the same risk and to adopt specific precautions (for
instance, adopting a I.P.D. -Individual Protection Device)
Acoustic Noise Level (LWA) - Measure Unit dB(A): it stands for acoustic noise released in a certain delay of time. This is not
submitted to the distance of measurement.
Acoustic Pressure (Lp) - Measure Unit dB(A): it measures the pressure originated by sound waves emission. Its value
changes in proportion to the distance of measurement.
The here below table shows examples of acoustic pressure (Lp) at different distances from a machine with Acoustic Noise
Level (LWA)
of 95 dB(A)
Lp a 1 meter = 95 dB(A) - 8 dB(A) = 87 dB(A) Lp a 7 meters = 95 dB(A) - 25 dB(A) = 70 dB(A)
Lp a 4 meters = 95 dB(A) - 20 dB(A) = 75 dB(A) Lp a 10 meters = 95 dB(A) - 28 dB(A) = 67 dB(A)
PLEASE NOTE: the symbol when with acoustic noise values, indicates that the device respects noise emission limits
according to 2000/14/CE directive.

INSTALLATION AND ADVICE BEFORE USE
The operator of the welder is responsible for the security of the people who work with the welder and for those in the
vicinity.
The security measures must satisfy the rules and regulations for engine driven welders.
The information given below is in addition to the local security norms.
Estimate possible electromagnetic problems in the work area taking into account the following indications.
1. Telephonic wirings and/or of communication, check wirings and so on, in the immediate vicinity.
2. Radio and television receptors and transmettors.
3. Computer and other checking devices.
4. Critical devices for safety and/or for industrial checks.
5. Peapol who, for instance, use pace-maker, hearing-aid for deaf or something and else.
6. Devices used for rating and measuring.
7. The immunity of other devices in the operation area of the welder. Make sure that other used devices are
compatible. If it is the case, provide other additional measures of protection.
8. The daily duration of the welding time.
ATTENTION
Make sure that the area is safe before starting any welding operation.
➠Do not touch any bare wires, leads or contacts as they may be live and there is danger of electric shock
which can cause death or serious burns. The electrode and welding cables, etc. are live when the unit is
operating.
➠Do not touch any electrical parts or the electrode while standing in water or with wet hands, feet or clothes.
➠Insulate yourself from the work surface while welding. Use carpets or other insulating materials to avoid
physical contact with the work surface and the floor.
➠Always wear dry, insulating glovers, without holes, and body protection.
➠Do not wind cables around the body.
➠Use ear protections if the noise level is high.
➠Keep flamable material away from the welding area.
➠Do not weld on containers which contain flamable material.
➠Do not weld near refuelling areas.
➠Do not weld on easily flamable surfaces.
➠Do not use the welder to defrost (thaw) pipes.
➠Remove the electrode from the electrode holder, when not welding.
➠Avoid inhaling fumes by providing a ventilation system or, if not possible, use an approved air breather.
➠Do not work in closed areas where there is no fresh air flow.
➠Protect face and eyes (protective mask with suitable dark lens and side screens), ears and body (non-
flamable protective clothers).

GASOLINE ENGINES
■Use in open space, air swept or vent exhaust gases,
which contain the deathly carbone oxyde, far from
the work area.
DIESEL ENGINES
■Use in open space, air swept or vent exhaust gases
far from the work area.
POSITION
Place the machine on a level surface at a distance of at
least 1,5 m from buildings or other plants.
Check that the air gets changed completely and the hot
air sent out does not come back inside the set so as to
cause a dangerous increase of the temperature.

BATTERY WITHOUT MAINTENANCE
Connect the cable + (positive)
to the pole + (positive) of the
battery (after having taken
away the protection), by
properly tightening the clamp.
Check the state of the battery
from the colour of the warning light which is in the
upper part.
- Green colour: battery OK
- Black colour: battery to be recharged
- White colour: battery to be replaced
DO NOT OPEN THE BATTERY.
RECOMMENDED OIL
MOSA recommends selecting AGIP engine oil.
Refer to the label on the motor for the recommended
products.
LUBRICANT
Please refer to the motor operating manual for the
recommended viscosity.
It is dangerous to fill the motor with too much oil,
as its combustion can provoke a sudden increase
in rotation speed.
ATTENTION
FUEL
Do not smoke or use open flames during
refuelling operations, in order to avoid
explosions or fire hazards.
Fuel fumes are highly toxic; carry out
operations outdoors only, or in a well-
ventilated environment.
Avoid accidentally spilling fuel. Clean
any eventual leaks before starting up
motor.
ATTENTION
Refill the tank with good quality diesel fuel, such as
automobile type diesel fuel, for example.
For further details on the type of diesel fuel to use,
see the motor operating manual supplied.
Do not fill the tank completely; leave a space of
approx. 10 mm between the fuel level and the wall
of the tank to allow for expansion.
In rigid environmental temperature conditions, use
special winterized diesel fuels or specific additives
in order to avoid the formation of paraffin.
GROUNDING CONNECTION
The grounding connection to an earthed installation
is obligatory for all models equipped with a
differential switch (circuit breaker). In these groups
the generator star point is generally connected to
the machine’s earthing; by employing the TN or TT
distribution system, the differential switch
guarantees protection against indirect contacts.
In the case of powering complex installations
requiring or employing additional electrical protection
devices, the coordination between the protection
devices must be verified.
For the grounding connection, use the terminal
(12); comply to local and/or current regulations in
force for electrical installations and safety.
REFUELLING AND CONTROL:
Carry out refuelling and controls with motor at level
position.
1. Remove the oil-fill tap (24)
2. Pour oil and replace the tap
3. Check the oil level using the dipstick (23); the oil
level must be comprised between the minimum
and maximum indicators.
DRY AIR FILTER
Check that the dry air filter is correctly installed and
that there are no leaks around the filter which could
lead to infiltrations of non-filtered air to the inside of
the motor.
OIL BATH AIR FILTER
Fill the air filter using the same engine oil up to the
level indicated on the filter.
