GAS-SHIELDED FLUx-CORED WELDING
(WITH A K3964-1 WIRE FEED MODULE INSTALLED)
Start by setting the Wire (CV) / Stick (CC) toggle switch to
the Wire (CV) position. Then set the left-side Coarse
Current control dial to 220. Now move the Voltage
Adjustment dial to the desired voltage. Move the Coarse
Current control to the left for a softer arc and to the right for
a crisper arc.
MIG WELDING
(WITH A K3964-1 WIRE FEED MODULE INSTALLED)
Start by setting the Wire (CV) / Stick (CC) toggle switch to
the Wire (CV) position. Then set the left-side Coarse
Current control dial to 220. Now move the Voltage
Adjustment dial to the desired voltage. Move the Coarse
Current control to the left for a softer arc and to the right for
a crisper arc.
CARBON ARC GOUGING
Set both the Coarse Current and Fine Current O.C.V con-
trols to maximum for carbon arc gouging in the CC (constant
current) mode. If a K3964-1 Wire Feed Module is installed
and the CV (constant voltage) mode is desired, set the Wire
(CV) / Stick (CC) toggle switch to the Wire (CV) position.
Then set the left-side Coarse Current control to maximum
output and the Voltage Adjustment dial to maximum output.
IDLER OPERATION
Start the engine with the "Idler" switch in the "High"
position. Allow it to run at high idle speed for several
minutes to warm the engine. See Specifications for
operating speeds.
The idler is controlled by the "Idler" toggle switch on
the welder control panel. The switch has two posi-
tions as follows:
1. In the "High"
deactivates, and the engine goes to high idle
speed. The speed is controlled by the governor.

2. In the "Auto" /
ates as follows:
a. When welding or drawing power for lights or tools
(approximately 100 watts minimum) from the
receptacles, the idler solenoid deactivates and
the engine operates at high idle speed.
b. When welding ceases or the power load is turned
off, a preset time delay of about 15 seconds
starts. This time delay cannot be adjusted.
c. If the welding or power load is not re-started
before the end of the time delay, the idler sole-
noid activates and reduces the engine to low idle
speed.
AUxILIARY POWER
If GFCI is tripped, See the MAINTENANCE section for
detailed information on testing and resetting the GFCI.
The AC auxiliary power, supplied as a standard, has a
rating of 3.0 KVA of 120/240 VAC (60 hertz). Set fine
current adjustment at 100 for maximum auxiliary
power.
With the 3.0 KVA, 120/240 VAC auxiliary power, one
120V duplex protected by GFCI and one 240V duplex,
grounding type receptacle with 2 pole, 15 amp circuit
breaker.
The rating of 3.0 KVA permits a maximum continuous
current of 13 amps to be drawn from the 240V duplex
receptacle. 20 amps can be drawn from the 120V
duplex receptacle. The total combined load of all
receptacles is not to exceed 3.0 KVA.
An optional power plug kit is available. When this kit is
specified, the customer is supplied with a plug for
each receptacle.
