1. DC Welding Output Terminals – Connect DC welding
cables to these terminals. Note the polarity marked on
the welder-generator. Select the appropriate polarities
according to the application as specified in Table 8.
2. Current Regulator Adjustment Control – Place this
knob in the desired setting when welding is required.
Current range is from 30 to 180 amps. t
3. ARC Force Regulator Adjustment Control – An
adjustment that allows the operator to fine tune the
arc characteristics according to job requirements. This
control allows the user to adjust the arc from a soft
smooth arc to a more aggressive digging arc.
4. AC-Voltmeter – This voltmeter indicates (with a
mark) the rated 60 Hz (single-phase) output voltage.
In addition the voltmeter can also be used as a
diagnostic tool. If the voltmeter indicator (needle) is
below the rated voltage, engine problems may exist
(low/high RPM's). To prevent damage to the generator
or power tools turn the generator OFF and consult your
authorized Multiquip service dealer.
5. Main Breaker – This 2-pole, 25 amp circuit breaker
protects the welder-generator from short circuiting or
overloading. When starting the generator always have
the circuit breaker placed in the "OFF" position.
6. 120V Output Receptacle – NEMA L5-30R twist-lock
receptacle will provide 120V, 25 amps, 60 Hz.
7. GFCI Duplex Receptacles – NEMA 5-20R, GFCI
receptacle will provide 120V@ 20 amps.

8. Idle Control Switch – The welder-generator is
provided with an automatic idle control device for noise
suppression and reduced fuel consumption.
The automatic idle control automatically engages under
a no-load condition. With the automatic idle control
switched "ON", the engine revolutions will automatically
drop to about 2600 rpm (low-speed operation) within
3 seconds after the load stops. When the operation is
resumed, the engine speed is automatically increased
to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as soon as
the load is connected.
9. Operation Switch – Place switch in the "ON" position
(up) for normal operation. To turn-off the welder-
generator, place the operation switch in the "OFF"
position (down).
10. Start Switch – Press this pushbutton switch to start
the welder-generator.
11. Recoil Starter (pull rope) – Manual-starting method.
Pull the starter grip until resistance is felt, then pull
briskly and smoothly.
12. Charcoal Canister – A container filled with activated
charcoal that traps gasoline vapors emitted by the fuel
system. Installed on GAWHE1/HEA only.
13. Battery – This unit is equipped with a 12 VDC battery.
Replace with only recommended type battery.
14. Ground – This ground connection point should be
connect to a good earth ground (ground rod).
