ENGINE CONTROLS:
13. RuN/STOP SWITCh -
-RUN position energizes the engine prior to start-
ing. STOP position stops the engine. The oil pres-
sure interlock switch prevents battery drain if the
switch is left in the RUN position and the engine is
not operating.
14. GLOW PLuG PuSh buTTON -
• When pushed activates the glow plugs. Glow plug
should not be activated for more than 20 seconds
continuously.
15. CIRCuIT bREAKER- For protection of
Battery Charging Circuit.
16. ENGINE STOP buTTON
Shuts down engine
17. START PuSh buTTON - Energizes the
starter motor to crank the engine.
18. IDLER SWITCh - Has two positions as follows:
1) In the HIGH position, the engine runs at the high
idle speed controlled by the engine governor.
2) In the AUTO position, the idler operates as fol-
lows:
• When switched from HIGH to AUTO or after
starting the engine, the engine will operate at full
speed for approximately 12 seconds and then go
to low idle speed.
• When the electrode touches the work or power is
drawn for lights or tools (approximately 100
Watts minimum), the engine accelerates and
operates at full speed.
• When welding ceases or the AC power load is
turned off, a fixed time delay of approximately 12
seconds starts. If the welding or AC power load
is not restarted before the end of the time delay,
the idler reduces the engine speed to low idle
speed.
• The engine will automatically return to high idle
speed when there is welding load or AC power
load reapplied.
19. COMbINATION METER GAuGE
(4 FuNCTIONS)
1. ENGINE hOuR METER - When the RUN-STOP
switch is in the "ON" position the hour meter
displays the total time that the engine has been
running. If the engine is not started within 60
seconds the hour meter is turned off automati-
cally. This meter is useful for scheduling pre-
scribed maintenance.

2. ELECTRIC FuEL GAuGE - When the RUN-
STOP switch is in the "ON" position the electric
fuel gauge displays accurate and reliable indica-
tion as to how much fuel is in the fuel tank. If the
engine is not started within 60 seconds the fuel
gauge is turned off automatically.
3. ENGINE PROTECTION LIGhT - A warning indi-
cator light for Low Oil Pressure and/or Coolant
Over Temperature.The light is off when the sys-
tems are functioning properly. The light will come
on and the engine will shutdown when there is
Low Oil Pressure and/or the Coolant is Over
Temperature.
Note: The light remains off when the RUN-STOP
switch is in the "ON" position prior to starting the
engine. However if the engine is not started within
60 seconds the light will come on. When this hap-
pens the RUN-STOP switch must be returned to
the "OFF" position to reset the engine protection
system and light.
4. bATTERY ChARGING LIGhT - A warning indica-
tor light for Low/No battery charge. The light is off
when the systems are functioning properly. The
light will come on if there is a Low/No battery con-
dition but the machine will continue to run.
Note: The light may or may not come on when
the RUN-STOP switch is in the "ON" position. It
will come on during cranking and stay on until the
engine starts. After starting the engine the light
will go off unless a Low/No battery charge condi-
tion exists.
20. COOLANT TEMPERATuRE GAuGE- An
indicator of engine coolant temperature.
21. OIL PRESSuRE GAuGE- An indicator of
engine Oil Pressure.
ENGINE PROTECTION LIGhT- A warning
indicator light for Low Oil Pressure and/or Coolant
Over Temperature.The light is off when the systems
are functioning properly. The light will come on and
the engine will shutdown when there is Low Oil
Pressure and/or the Coolant is Over Temperature.
Note: The light remains off when the RUN-STOP
switch is in the "ON" position prior to starting the
engine. However if the engine is not started within
60 seconds the light will come on. When this hap-
pens the RUN-STOP switch must be returned to the
"OFF" position to reset the engine protection system
