120V Receptacle Operation:
• Set the Output Control on the Pro-Cut 25 no higher
than the 15 amp position.( Higher settings may cause
circuit breaker on the OUTBACK® 185 to trip.)
• Maximum material thickness that can be cut is 1/4".
240V Receptacle Operation:
• The Pro-Cut 25 may be used for its full range of con-
trol.
• Maximum material thickness that can be cut is 3/8".

AUXILIARY POWER OPERATION

WARNING
Be sure that any electrical equipment plugged into the
generator AC power receptacles can withstand a ±10%
voltage and a ±5% frequency variation. Some elec-
tronic devices cannot be powered by the OUTBACK®
185 Refer to Table A.2, ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE
WITH THE OUTBACK® 185, in the INSTALLATION
section of this manual.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The OUTBACK® 185 is rated at 5700 Peak watts or
5200 continuous watts. It provides both 120 volt and
240 volt power. You can draw up to 20 amps from
either side of the 120 volt duplex receptacle, but not
more than 35.4 amps from both sides at once. Up to
17.7 amps can be drawn from the single 240 volt
receptacle.

OPERATION
Electrical loads in watts are calculated by multiplying
the voltage rating of the load by the number of amps it
draws. (This information is given on the load device
nameplate.) For example, a device rated 120 volts, 2
amps will need 240 watts of power (120 x 2 = 240).
You can use Table B.3, AUXILIARY POWER APPLI-
CATIONS, to determine the wattage requirements of
the most common types of loads you can power with
the OUTBACK® 185 Be sure to read the notes at the
bottom of the table.
TO USE THE OUTBACK® 185 AS AN AUXILIARY
POWER SUPPLY:
1. Start the gasoline engine. See ENGINE OPERA-
TION in this section of the manual.
2. Set the current control dial on the output control
panel to "MAX." See Figure B.1.
3. Plug the load(s) into the appropriate 120 volt or
240 volt power receptacle.
