SAFETY RECOGNIZE SAFETY INFORMATION This is the safety alert symbol. When you see this symbol on your machine or in this manual, be alert to the potential for personal injury. Follow recommended precautions and safe operating practices. UNDERSTAND SIGNAL WORDS A signal word--DANGER, WARNING or CAUTION--is used with the safety- alert symbol.
SAFETY NEVER run unit inside homes, garages, sheds, or other semi-enclosed spac- es. These spaces can trap poisonous gases EVEN IF you run a fan or open doors and windows. If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using the unit, shut if off and get fresh air IMMEDIATELY.
SAFETY Plug appliances directly into the unit. Or, use a heavy duty, outdoor-rated extension cord that is rated (in watts or amps) at least equal to the sum of the connected appliance loads. Check that the entire cord is free of cuts or tears and that the plug has all three prongs, especially a grounding pin.
SAFETY After completion of work, inspect area to ensure it is free of sparks, glowing embers, and flames. Remove stick electrode from holder when not in use. RISK OF BURSTING Serious injury or death may occur from an air tank explosion if air tanks are not properly maintained.
SAFETY RISK OF FLYING OBJECTS Soft tissue damage can occur from the compressed air stream. Always wear safety glasses to shield the eyes from flying debris. Never point the air stream at any part of your body, anyone else or animals. Never leave pressurized air in the unit.
SAFETY 9. Beware of using this equipment in confined spaces. Confined spaces, without sufficient fresh air ventilation, can contain dangerous gases. Running gasoline engines in such environments can lead to deadly explosions and/ or asphyxiation. 10. Use extreme caution when lifting this unit. This unit is heavy so proper lifting techniques should be used.

INSTALLATION Read safety warnings before setting-up the unit. Ensure the oil level in the unit's pump is adequate. If low, add SAE-30W non-detergent oil. LOCATION: In order to avoid damaging the unit, do not incline the unit transversely or longitudinally more than 10°. WARNING: RISK OF ASPHYXIATION! DO NOT OPERATE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong plug at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection from the unit to appliance. Mi-T-M strongly recommends that all applicable federal, state and local regulations relating to grounding specifications be checked and followed. LINE TRANSFER SWITCH: If this unit is used for standby service, it must have a transfer switch be- tween the utility power service and the unit.
INSTALLATION DO NOT PLACE UNIT IN AN AREA WHERE FLAMMABLE GAS VAPORS MAY BE PRESENT. A SPARK COULD CAUSE AN EXPLOSION OR FIRE. ALWAYS STORE FUEL AWAY FROM THE UNIT WHILE IT IS RUNNING OR HOT. WARNING: RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH DO NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE OR MUFFLER TO COME IN CONTACT WITH FLAMMABLE VAPORS, COMBUSTIBLE DUST, GASES OR OTHER COMBUSTIBLE...
INSTALLATION TO FILL WITH OIL: 1. Level the engine to ensure accurate inspection and to prevent overfilling. 2. Unscrew the oil gauge (Fig. 1), wipe the dipstick dry. Reinsert the oil gauge back into the oil fill gauge opening. Remove the oil gauge and check the oil level.
INSTALLATION HIGH ALTITUDE At high altitude, the standard carburetor air/fuel mixture will be too rich. Performance will decrease, and fuel consumption will increase. A very rich mixture will also foul the spark plug and cause hard starting. Operation at an altitude that differs from that at which this engine was certified, for extended periods of time, may increase emissions.
OPERATION PRE-OPERATION: Check the engine oil level before starting. (See engine manual.) Fill the fuel tank according to the engine manual instruction. Pump oil level should be checked before each use. Check the oil level indicator on the pump crankcase. Make certain the oil is in the center of the oil sight glass.
OPERATING THE UNIT WARNING: DO NOT USE WORN, DAMAGED, UNDERSIZED, OR POORLY SPLICED CABLES. TURN OFF POWER BEFORE CONNECTING TO WELD OUTPUT TERMINALS. WELD OUTPUT TERMINALS Weld Cable Size** and Total Cable (Copper) Length in Weld Circuit Not Exceeding*** 100 ft (30 m) 150 ft 200 ft 250 ft...
OPERATING THE UNIT SHUTDOWN: 1. Remove all load by turning off electrical appliances and unplugging electric/ welding cords. 2. Move the Engine Switch to the "Off" position. (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.) 3. Move the GEN/WELD switch to the GEN position. 4.
OPERATING THE UNIT CABLE SIZE: Equipment damage can result from low voltage. Therefore, to prevent ex- cessive voltage drop between the unit and the equipment, the cable should be of adequate gauge for the length used. The cable selection chart gives the maximum cable lengths for various gauges of wire which can adequately carry the loads shown.

MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE CHART: To ensure satisfactory operation over an extended period of time, an engine requires normal maintenance at regular in- tervals. The Periodic Maintenance Chart below shows periodic inspection and maintenance items and suitable intervals. The bullet mark designates that the corresponding item should be performed at that interval. NOTE: Some adjustments require the use of special tools or other equipment.
WARNING: RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. DO NOT USE GASOLINE OIL DRAIN PLUG OR LOW FLASH POINT SOLVENTS TO CLEAN THE ELEMENT. (Fig. 1 MI-T-M) CLEAN THE ELEMENT IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. ENSURE THAT NO SPARKS OR FLAMES ARE NEAR THE WORKING AREA, THIS INCLUDES ANY APPLIANCE WITH A PILOT LIGHT.
IDLE CONTROL ADJUSTMENT: NOTE: The automatic idle speed is set between 2640 and 2940 RPM. (Fig. 2 MI-T-M) The idle speed has been pre-set at the factory and should rarely require readjustment. We recommend that all adjustments of this nature be made by a Customer Service Representative.
