• The Bulldog® 140 is not recommended for pipe

thawing.

• During welding, generator power is limited to 100

watts, and output voltages can drop from 120 to 80
volts and 240 to 160 volts. Therefore, DO NOT
OPERATE ANY SENSITIVE ELECTRICAL EQUIP-
MENT WHILE YOU ARE WELDING.

CONTROLS AND SETTINGS

All welder/generator controls are located on the Output
Control Panel. Gasoline engine controls are mounted
on the engine. See Figure B.1 and the figures in
