Introduction We would like to thank you very much for purchasing this Shindaiwa Soundproof Diesel Engine Generator & Welder. • This manual has been created in order to ensure safe and proper use of this equipment. Be sure to thoroughly read this manual before operating the equipment as the improper operation of this equipment can result in an accident or malfunction.
1. Safety Precautions Warning: Suffocation from Exhaust Fume • Do not operate the equipment in a poorly-ventilated area such as indoors or within a tunnel because the engine exhaust fume includes components that are harmful to humans. Warning: Suffocation from Welding Fume •...

Warning: Fire • Keep any ignitable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or inflammable items away from the work area due to the scattering of weld spatter that occurs during welding. • Provide at least 1 meter (3 feet) of distance between the equipment and walls and other obstacles, and operate the equipment on a flat surface.
Page 7
Caution: Burn • The engine, muffler and similar parts are extremely hot during operation and immediately after stopping the equipment. Never touch hot parts. • Never open the radiator cap during operation or immediately after stopping the equipment. Hot cooling water and steam will spurt out. •...

■Locations of Warning Labels Replace warning labels when they become difficult to see or damaged by affixing new labels in the specified locations. Order the necessary labels by numbers in parentheses. (1) Suffocation from Exhaust Fume (No. X505-007590) (2) Suffocation from Welding Fume (No. X505-007600) (3) Electric Shock (No.
2. Specifications Model DGW310DMC-220 Generating Method Rotating Field Rated Current 260 / 280 Rated Voltage 30.4 / 31.2 Duty Cycle Rated Speed (min 3000 / 3600 No Load Voltage MAX 85 Current Adj. Range 30 – 160 φ2.0 –φ4.0 Welding Rod (mm) Current Adj.
5. Equipment 5-1. Eco Welding The equipment is incorporated in Eco Welding feature that are aimed at performing the lower noise, the lower fuel consumption and the lower gas emission than conventional models. When you turn the output selector to "ECO", you will be able to weld with Max 4.0mm welding rod at the low speed.

The equipment is incorporated in monitoring function of "WATER TEMP", "CHARGE", "OIL PRESS". Under normal condition, when the starter switch changes from "STOP" to "RUN", all Oil Press the lamps of "CHARGE", "OIL PRESS" will Battery Charge be turned on. Water Temp When the engine starts, all the lamps will be turned off.
5-5. Remote Control (Option) Remote The equipment incorporates with remote control Controller connector feature. Remote controller is the optional parts. Remote control operation is available by connecting the compatible remote controller to the connector. Adjust the welding current at the remote area from the machine. Attach the remote control connector, removing the connector cover (M5 Screw 2 pieces).

The equipment is provided with the earth leakage relay in the earth leakage circuit breaker to detect any leakage arisen due to the troubles as insulation failure of the load while the generator is running. And cutting off the circuit for protection against any accident such as electrical shock resulting from the trouble.
(3) If an Earth Leakage Relay Operates Caution: Electric Shock/Injury • Always be sure to turn off the power switches of all devices using the equipment when turning on the equipment breakers after an earth leakage relay operates. Leaving on the power switch of a device using the equipment when the equipment breaker is turned on could result in the sudden operation of the corresponding device.
6. Pre-Operation Inspection Warning: Injury/Electric Shock • Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open. There is a danger of hair, body parts and other items being caught up in moving parts such as cooling fans and belts. •...
6-2. Cooling Water Inspection Caution: Burn • Never open the radiator cap during operation or immediately after stopping the equipment. Hot cooling water and steam will spurt out. Check to see if the cooling water level is between "FULL" and "LOW" levels in the coolant sub tank.
ASTM standards if using the equipment in a cold weather region. • Shindaiwa recommends using a fuel with a sulfur content of less than 1,000ppm. • Change the engine oil and oil filter after a shorter period than normal (approximately one-half the normal period) if using a high-sulfur (sulfur content of between 5,000 to 10,000ppm) fuel.
<Note> • Check the hydrometer of the battery fluid. If it falls below 1.23, the battery requires recharging. Please consult with authorized distributor. ■Replacing battery Hold-Down Ins Cap Remove the under plate. Clamp " " Post (M6 Bolt 2 pieces) "...
<Note> • Check to see if it is safe around the equipment before starting. • When working is performed together by two or more persons, take care to perform all work safely. • Do not use the location of dusty, hot and humid. •...
<Note> • Never turn the engine high speed or connect the loads until the air is extracted completely (the engine speed becomes stable). 7-2. Stopping Turn the breaker to "OFF". Turn the idle control switch to "AUTO". Keep the engine idle (cooling down) for about 5 minutes. Turn the starter switch to "STOP".
Applications Connecting Method Generals Welding, such as " - " to holder (Rod) Straight Polarity Construction " + " to the Earth (Material) Thin Plate, Build-Up Welding " - " to the Earth (Material) Reverse Polarity Stainless Steel " + " to holder (Rod) 8-3.
8-4. Welding Work Warning: Suffocation from Welding Fume • Always be sure to wear a fume-proof mask when welding as the fumes generated during welding include harmful gases and dust. Also be careful that the wind direction is not such that it will cause fumes to be inhaled and always operate the equipment in a well-ventilated area.

9-2. Usable Device Capacities Please refer to the following table, because electric tools and home appliances cannot be judged only by the rated output or the power consumption due to the efficiency and character of the components. Applicable Load (For reference purpose only) Capacity (Unit: kW) 3-Phase 1-Phase100V/110V...

Caution: Physical and Secondary Damage • If using the equipment as a power source for medical equipment, you must check with the medical equipment manufacturer, doctor and hospital before using the equipment. • Set the frequency in accordance with the devices using the equipment. Select the correct frequency, designated in the loads (Refer to "5-3.
10. Simultaneously Welding and Using as AC Power Source The circuit breakers react on the AC power supply circuit only. In the simultaneous use of welding and generating, there sometimes happens overload to the engine. Refer to the following table and limit the AC power use. Limitation of AC power supply in the simultaneous use of welding / generating(50/60Hz) Welding Output...
11. Inspection/Maintenance Warning: Electric Shock/Injury • Always be sure to stop the engine and remove the engine key before performing any equipment check or maintenance. • Do not operate the equipment with any doors or covers open. There is a danger of hair, body parts and other items being caught up in moving parts such as cooling fans and belts.
