switch, volt/amp manual adjustment dial, air pressure
gauge, fuel gauge/hour meter, weld lead terminals,
battery cable receptacle, generator control ON/OFF
switch, AC voltage outlets, and AC overload trip/reset
buttons. In addition, the panel contains function indicator
lamps that light to show various machine operation
conditions.

2.5.1 VOLTS/AMPS DISPLAY

The volts/amps display shows the amount of volts and/
or amp level while welding or boosting. Range is:

2.5.2 WELDER FUNCTION SWITCHES

The constant current (CC) or constant voltage (CV)
toggle switch lets the operator choose the type of power
supply desired.
•CC Mode = Constant Amperage
•CV Mode = Constant Voltage
The three-position DC charger/welder toggle switch
serves as the battery charge enabling switch, power-
enabling switch for welding, or the disabling (OFF) switch
for the DC generator function.

2.5.3 FUEL GAUGE/HOUR METER

The fuel gauge/hour meter contains two separate
system indications: the fuel gauge shows the amount of
fuel, and the hour meter records the total accumulated
hours that the package is operated. The hour meter can
be used to assist in scheduled maintenance planning.

2.5.4 ENGINE CONTROL (ON/OFF/START) SWITCH

The engine control switch engages the phases of the
engine, which is integral to all the functions of the 200
Series Power System. Consult the various operating
procedures as found in Section 5, Operation, to
determine the integration of the engine with each
separate system function.
2.5.5 CIRCUIT BREAKER OVERLOAD TRIP/ RESET
BUTTONS
The reset-capable circuit breakers are used to protect
the generator circuits from damage if an extended
overload or short circuit situation occurs. The circuit
breaker will trip and can be easily reset by pushing the
button.
30 - 205 Amps
15 - 40 Volts

®
Any time the engine control switch is on
the hour meter is running.
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.
