SECTION 5 – SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
WARNING:
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill;
MOVING PARTS can cause serious injury;
IMPROPER AIRFLOW AND EXPOSURE TO
ENVIRONMENT can damage internal parts.
Do not touch live electrical parts.
Stop engine, and disconnect negative (–)
battery cable from battery before inspecting
or servicing.
Keep away from moving parts such as fans,
belts, and rotors.
Keep all covers and panels in place while
operating.
Warranty is void if the welding generator is oper-
ated with any portion of the outer enclosure
removed.
ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin; NOISE
can damage hearing.
Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
FUMES AND GASES can seriously harm
your health.
Ventilate to keep from breathing fumes and
gases.
If ventilation is inadequate, use approved
breathing device.
Use in open, well ventilated areas, or vent
exhaust out of doors.

Watch for fire.
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and know
how to use it.
Allow work and equipment to cool before
handling.
ENGINE FUEL can cause fire or explosion.
Stop engine before checking or adding fuel.
Do not spill fuel; if spilled, wipe up.
Do not refuel if engine is hot or running.
Do not refuel near sparks or open flame.
Do not smoke while refueling.
Do not fill tank to top; allow room for
expansion.
MAGNETIC FIELDS FROM HIGH CUR-
RENTS can affect pacemaker operation.
Wearers should consult their doctor before
going near arc welding, gouging, or spot
welding operations.

IMPORTANT: When using the CV mode, place the AM-
PERE RANGES switch on the welding generator in the
maximum position, and use the AMPERAGE AND
VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT control to select the desired
voltage. If remote voltage control is used, the minimum
to maximum voltage range selection at the remote con-
trol will be a percentage of the AMPERAGE AND VOLT-
AGE ADJUSTMENT control setting (see Section 4-2).
When using the CC mode, place the AMPERE
RANGES switch and the AMPERAGE AND VOLTAGE
ADJUSTMENT control on the welding generator in the
desired positions. If remote amperage control is used,
the minimum to maximum amperage range selection at
the remote control will be a percentage of the AMPER-
AGE AND VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT control setting
(see Section 4-2). GMAW normally uses the CV mode;
FCAW may use either CV or CC depending on the se-
lected welding wire.
See Arc Welding Safety Precautions in the
welding generator Owner's Manual for basic
welding safety information.

WARNING: Read and follow safety informa-
tion at beginning of entire Section 5 before
proceeding.
1.
Be sure that the welding generator has been pre-
pared as instructed in its Owner's Manual.
2.
Install and connect CV-2 according to Section 3,
if applicable.
3.
Install and connect wire feeder to the appropriate
CV-2 REMOTE-5 or REMOTE-14 receptacle ac-
cording to Section 3 and wire feed equipment
Owner's Manual.
4.
Select and obtain proper welding wire, and
thread as instructed in wire feeder Owner's Man-
ual.
5.
If shielding gas is required, make all the neces-
sary connections.
6.
Wear dry insulating gloves and clothing.
7.
Connect work clamp to clean, bare metal at work-
piece.
8.
Rotate the AMPERE RANGES switch and AM-
PERAGE AND VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT con-
trol to the desired position (see welding generator
Owner's Manual).
9.
Place the CV-2 CV/CC switch in the proper posi-
tion as determined by the selected welding proc-
ess (see Section 4-1).
