OPERATING THE
4.7
GENERATOR
Only plug power cords into the generator
receptacles AFTER the engine is running
The Power System is designed to
support a multi-function project.
However, if the generator is operating at
a high percentage of its rated capacity,
and the welder and air compressor are
also being used, the resulting drop in
engine speed may produce a low voltage
condition that will damage the generator
and power tools being used.
Be careful not to overload the rated
capacity of the generator - 4,900 watts
(20.4 amps @ 240V or 40.8 amps @ 120V
for each outlet) continuous.

To operate the generator:
1. Start the engine.
2. Turn the Generator switch on the
control panel to the ON position.
For general information on the power
requirements
motors and extension cords, check the
desired power tool, motor or extension cord
manufacturer's specifications.
If the thermal overload circuit breakers on the
generator are tripped due to an overload
condition, press the white reset buttons on
the generator panel to reset the breakers
(Figure 4-2).
If one of the generator circuit breakers is
tripped, the cause of the overload must
be determined before the circuit breaker
is reset and work is resumed.
Do not rely on the thermal overload
circuit breakers on the generator to
protect personnel, power tools, or the
generator. The thermal overload circuit
breakers on the generator require time to
overheat when the generator is operating
in an overload condition — they do not
provide instant protection against short
circuiting or overload conditions. Always
use GFCI protected extension cords and
power strips when using the generator.
4.8 OPERATING THE AIR
COMPRESSOR

Series machine
compressor. This means that the compressor
continues to turn at all times, even when it is
not building pressure in the air storage tank.
The compressor is controlled by a pilot valve
that provides an air pressure signal to the
compressor head unloader valves.
When the air tank pressure builds to 125 psi,
