1)
Stop the engine.
2)
Install the welding cables, crimped terminals, welding rod holders and earth
fittings.
3)
Connect the welding cables to the weld terminals.
(Refer to the table below for cable connection locations.)
4)
Close the terminal cover.
<Note>
• Securely crimp the crimped terminals and securely connect the welding cables.
Using insufficiently crimped terminals or loosely connected cables can result in
heat generation from poor connection, thereby causing burnout of the weld
output terminals.
• Be sure to always securely crimp the crimped terminals on the cables connected to
the Weld output terminals. Not using crimped terminals and simply wrapping
stripped cable around the weld output terminal can result in heat generation from
poor connection, thereby causing burnout of the weld output terminals and a short
circuit due to contact of the cable core with the equipment body.
• Keep your welding cable and electrode holder in good condition. Repair or replace
any damaged insulation.

9-4. Duty Cycle

The duty cycle is the percentage of time the load is being applied in a 10-minute
period. For example a 60% duty cycle, represents 6 minutes of load and 4 minutes
of no-load in a 10-minute period.
<Note>
• Continuing to weld beyond the rated duty cycle with the rated output can result in
equipment overheating and corresponding malfunctions.
