5. On the control panel, place the CC/CV switch
in CC mode. Place the DC Charger/Welder
switch in welder mode.
6. Adjust the power dial to the appropriate
amperage setting for the material and the
electrode being used. (See Table 5B for
electrode amperage ratings). At anytime
during welding, the power dial may be
adjusted to the desired amperage level.
7. When you strike the electrode against the
material being welded, the engine will go to
high idle and deliver the selected amperage
through the electrode. Now you may begin
to weld.
8. After a weld has been completed, and there is
no contact between the electrode and the metal
for 30 seconds, the engine will return to idle.
5.4.1.2 CV (CONSTANT VOLTAGE) MODE -
USING A VOLTAGE SENSING SUITCASE
FEEDER
CV (Constant Voltage) Mode – commonly referred to as -
Wire Welding, MIG welding, or Gas Metal Arc Welding
(GMAW)
1. With the engine shut off, insert the twist lock
connection of the ground clamp into the
negative (-) welder connection port on the
control panel. Insert the power lead
segment from the suitcase feeder into the
positive (+) welder connection port on the
control panel.
2. Place the ground clamp from the suitcase
feeder and the ground clamp from the Air N
Arc 300 on the work piece.
3. Start the engine (See Section 5.2, Engine
Start-up and Shutdown Procedure).
