< < < < Note> > > > • The VRD is only for weld output. It does not function for AC generated output voltage. 5-3. . . . Idle Control The equipment includes an idle control function. You can use the idle control switch to select an engine speed setting of "ECO"...
• Set the idle control switch to "HIGH" if using as an AC power source of a device of 1 A or less because the engine might not reach a high speed as speed control does not operate at that level. (3) High Idle You can set the idle control switch to "HIGH"...
< < < < Note> > > > • The output control dial on the remote controller connection side of the equipment does not function when a remote controller is connected. • If the remote controller is disconnected from the remote control connector while welding, the equipment output control dial becomes functional, possibly resulting in an increase or decrease in weld current.
5-7. . . . Error Code Display The equipment includes an error Error Code Display code display function that notifies the operator of any errors during operation. If an error is detected during operation, error codes are displayed by the DC meter. If this occurs, stop operation immediately, and inspect and repair the location where the error has occurred.
(2) Battery Charge Monitor Lamp The battery charge monitor lamp ("CHARGE") lights up and the engine is automatically stopped if battery charge fails during operation. If this occurs, it is probable that there is fan belt damage or a wiring fault. Request repair at the retail outlet where the equipment was purchased.
Caution: Burn • The engine, muffler and similar parts are extremely hot during operation and immediately after stopping the equipment. Never touch hot parts. Caution: Physical and Secondary Damage • Set the frequency in accordance with the devices using the equipment. This equipment can operate at either 50Hz or 60 Hz.

(1) Operation Check of Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers Be sure to always check the earth leakage circuit breakers before starting operation according to the following procedures. 1) Start the engine.(Refer to section Idle Control "7-1.Starting the Engine".) Switch 2) Set the idle control switch to "HIGH"...
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. •...
■Engine Oil Selection Use a diesel-type engine oil with a viscosity that is appropriate for the outdoor air temperature (refer to the table). < < < < Note> > > > • Use oil with a quality of CD class or better (API classification). Temperature/Engine Oil Relationship +20°C or more +10°C~+20°C...
ASTM standards if using the equipment in Fuel Inlet a cold weather region. • Shindaiwa recommends using a fuel with a sulfur content of less than 1,000 ppm. • 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 10,000 ppm) fuel.
6-5. . . . Inspection for Fuel/Oil/Cooling Water Leakage Warning: Fire • Absolutely never use the equipment if there is a fuel, oil or cooling water leak, and be sure to always repair the leak before using. Open the side door and check for fuel leakage from fuel line joints and similar components, and check for oil and cooling water leakage.
7. Operating Procedures 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: Fire • Keep any ignitable items (such as fuel, gas and paint) or inflammable items away from the equipment because the muffler, exhaust fume and other parts attain high temperatures.

8. Using as a Welder 8-1. . . . Welding Cable Selection Use welding cables with a cross-sectional area that is larger than the proper cross-sectional areas indicated in the table below. Using cable that is less than the proper cross-sectional area reduces the weld output.
8-3. . . . Welding Cable Connection Warning: Electric Shock • Be sure to stop the engine whenever touching weld output terminals such as when installing or removing welding cables. • Do not connect welding cables to any part other than weld output terminals.
8-5. . . . 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.
< < < < Note> > > > • This equipment allows for 2 person simultaneous welding. For 2 person simultaneous welding, select a weld mode and adjust the weld current in accordance with each type of welding work being performed. •...
