I. SAFETY MESSAGE
Read and understand this owner’s manual and acquaint the welder’s safe
operating procedures before operating your welder. That can help you
avoid accidents.
1. Keep the welder far away from the inflammable and explosive
material in operating.
2. Don’t operate the welder in the closed area or in the poor ventilated
places in order to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning!
3. Do not touch the high voltage power supply in using it.
4. The muffler and engine are very hot during running the welder.
Never touch them, or you may get burns.
5. Stop the engine and keep the re source far away when refueling.
6. Don’t cover the welder with objects and left around at least 1 meter
distance in order to facilitate the cooling unit.
7. Pay attention to the safety while operate welder in the rainy and
snowy days. Do not touch motor and distribution lines with wet
hands in order to avoid an electric shock accident.
8. Cooling air temperature does not exceed 45 ℃.
9. Air relative humidity is not more than 80%;
10. Use welder in the absence of conductive dust and corrosive gases.
11. The environmental temperature change will affect the action of
circuit breaker. Please replace the circuit breaker which is suitable to
the local temperature.

III. CONTROL
1. Engine Switch
Engine switch: press the button up to " START" position. the engine
will start .After starting engine, immediatelly release engine switch and
engine switch can automatically return to "ON" position; press the button
down to "OFF" position, the engine will stop running.
2. Recoil Starter
Starter grip: To start the engine, pull the starter grip lightly until
resistance is felt, then pull out abruptly, repeat to start the engine.
Do not allow the starter to snap back. Return it gently.

3. Fuel Valve
Fuel valve: fuel flows from the fuel tank to carburetor when the fuel
valve is in "ON" position and in " OFF" position will cut off fuel owing
to carburetor.
4. Choke Lever
Chock lever: in "CLOSE" position, carburetor provides an enriched fuel
mixture; in "OPEN" position, carburetor provides a natural working
mixture.
5. Circuit Breaker
Troubled load or incorrect connection will result in circuit overload.
At this time the circuit breaker knob projects in "OFF" position, which
will automatically cut off standby power to protect. After malfunction
exclusive, press the circuit breaker knob to "ON" position.

8. Auto Throttle
The solenoid valve will operate and engine keep idele speed when the
switch turn ON and electric welder set is no load.For engine operating,
switch ON the load and solenoid valve disconnect.
9. Oil Alert System
The oil alert system is especially designed to prevent welder from
damaging caused by an insufficient amount of oil in the crankcase.
When the oil level in the crankcase fall down below a safe limit, the
oil alert system will automatically shut down the welder (though the
welder switch still remains in “ON” position), so that the welder can’t be
damaged resulting from the insufcient amount of the oil.

IV. WELDER OPERATION
1. Welder Operation Environment:
1) Height above sea level: Do not exceed 1000 ml.
2) Operation environment temperature.
welding:-10～+40℃;
transportation and storage: -25～+55℃.
3) Air relative humidity: Don’t exceed 50% at 40℃; and don’t exceed
90% at 20℃.
4) The air dist, acid, corrosive gases around place will be less than
normal content, except these substances from welding process.
5) Place it at dry and ventilated area, and avoid to expose in the sunshine
and rain.
6) Place this serial products at area which the gradient is less than 15℃,
When placing the welder at tilted plane, be careful not turnover.
Welder placing requirement:
If a carburetor suited a high altitude is equipped with engine suited a
lower altitude, the lean air fuel mixture will make engine output power
decline, over-heat and seriously damage.
2. Welder Grounding
To prevent electrical shock from the poor quality electrical appliance
or misuse, we suggest that connect the welder to ground with insulated
leathern ne quality leads.

3. Auxiliary Power Supply
1.This series welder is with auxiliary DC output. The voltage is 220V,
which can be used for the electrical tools below 3KW with carbon brush.
2.This series welder is with auxiliary AC output. The voltage is 230V,
which can be used for the electrical tools below 3.5KW with carbon
brush.
• Don’t connect to household electrical appliance directly.
• Don’t use the auxiliary power supply at one time when welding.

V. CHECK BEFORE OPERATION
1. Engine Oil
Before operation, please stop the
welder and put on the at surface to
check the oil level.
Engine oil is a major factor affecting
engine performance and service life.
Non-detergent and 2-stroke engine
oils will damage the engine and are not recommended.
Recommended oil
4-stroke gasoline oil
API service Classication’s SF
or SAE10W-30 of equivalent
SG class.
Method of check oil level:
Remove the oil filler cap and
wipe the dipstick clean.
Check the oil level by inserting the dipstick into the ller neck without
screwing it in.
If the level is too low, add the recommended oil to the upper mark on the
dipstick.
After adding, don’t forget reinstall and tighten the oil dipstick.
CHECK BEFORE OPERATION

2. Fuel
1) Check the fuel level gauge,
2) Refill the tank if the fuel level is too low. Do not fill above the
shoulder of the fuel strainer.
3) Reinstall and tighten the fuel tank cap after refueling.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area with the engine stopped. Do not
smoke or allow ames or sparks in the area where the engine is
refueled.
• Do not overow the fuel from the fuel tank.
• Avoid repeated or prolonged contact the fuel with skin or
breathing of vapor.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Don’t use the oil and gasoline mixture or gasoline with impurity.
Use gasoline with octane rating ≥90 higher.
We recommend unleaded gasoline because it produces fewer deposits of
engine and spark plug and extends exhaust system life.

3. Battery
Please use battery with voltage 12V.
Don’t connect the battery positive and negative poles in reverse (Pay
attention to leads mark), when connecting, first connect positive
poles, then negative poles, when disassembling, first negative pole,
then positive pole , if not, can seriously damage the welder and
battery.
• If improper operation, the battery may be explosive and
potentially hurt others nearby. Keep the fire and inflammable
materials far away from the welder.
• The battery will release the explosive gas, please keep the re far
away from. Keep the air ventilating when battery is charging and
using.
