T-964C PART TWO - INSTRUCTIONS
12. POWER OUTLETS
a. WELDING TERMINALS - The two welding terminals are located on the generator
control panel, one on either side of and slightly below the multi-range switch. The
terminal on the left is the 'Electrode' terminal. The cable to which the electrode
holder is attached is normally affixed to this terminal. The terminal on the right
is the 'Ground' terminal. The cable that is attached to the.work is normally af­
fixed to this terminal. Make sure that all connections are clean and tight in order
to insure a good electrical contact.
b. OUTLET RECEPTACLES - Two output receptacles located to the right of the
multi-range switch provide power for the operation of small D.C. power tools and
lights. Normally these receptacles will be connected to supply lkw. of 110 volt D.
C. In some special machines these receptacles may supply a total of 1 or 3 kw. of
220 volt D.C. Check the generator identification plate for correct rating before
connecting a load to these receptacles.
13. INSTRUMENTS
a. WELDING AMMETER - The welding ammeter (when furnished) is in the upper left
corner of the generator control panel. It is a center reading meter with a range
from 0 to 400 amps.
The purpose of the welding ammeter is to measure the amount of current that
is being used to weld. However, the ammeter also indicates polarity by the direc­
tion the pointer moves when welding is being done.
b. WELDING VOLTMETER - The welding voltmeter (when furnished) is in the upper
right corner of the control panel. It is a center reading meter with a range from
0 to 100 volts.
The purpose of the voltmeter is to register the voltage generated by the
welding generator. The voltmeter on open circuit, should register 75 to 95 volts
but will drop to between 25 and 45 volts when welding is being done. The voltmeter,
like the ammeter, indicates polarity by the direction the pointer on the voltmeter
moves.
c. BATTERY CHARGING AMMETER - This.meter (furnished on battery equipped units)
is located on the lower portion of the rear control panel. It is a center reading
meter which indicates the amount of electricity flowing into or out of the battery.
The position of the ammeter needle during normal operation should be zero or plus
two or three amps .
d. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE - This gauge is on the left side of the engine, just in
front of the flywheel housing. It is calibrated in pounds of pressure from 0 to 75
lbs. In normal operation, the gauge should indicate a pressure of between 20 and
40 lbs.
e. FUEL GAUGE - A fuel gauge is located on the right side of the fuel tank.
This gauge indicates the approximate reserve of fuel in the tank. (Tank capacity
24 gal.).
