Gasoline engine controls are mounted on the engine. See Figure B.1 and the figures in engine operation section.

WELDER/GENERATOR CONTROLS

See Figure B.1 for the location of the following features:
1. CURRENT CONTROL DIAL: Adjusts continuous cur-
rent output. The amperages on the dial correspond to
the approximate amperages needed for specific
Lincoln welding electrodes.
2. 20 AMP CIRCUIT BREAKER: Provides overload cur-
rent protection for the 120 Volt and 240 Volt
Receptacles
3. WELD POSITIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL: Pro vides the
connection point for either the electrode holder or the
work cable. (Because the OUTBACK™ 145 is a DC
output machine, either output terminal can be used for
either cable.)
4. WELD NEGATIVE OUTPUT TERMINAL: Provides the
connection point for either the electrode holder or the
work cable. (Because the OUTBACK™145 is a DC
output machine, either output terminal can be used for
either cable.)
5. GROUND STUD: Provides a connection point for con-
necting the machine case to earth ground for the
safest grounding procedure.
