2. Safety Precautions for positioning the machine 2.6.1 Positioning site precautions • This machine has been designed for outdoor use and can therefore be positioned outdoors. In case of meteorological precipitation (rain, snow, etc.), place the machine in an adequately sheltered place.
2. Safety Precautions during operation • Keep all panels closed during normal operation. • Access to the internal parts of the machine must only be carried out for maintenance purposes. • Keep the area near the muffler free from objects such as rags, paper, cartons. The high temperature of the muffler could cause the objects to burn and cause a fire. • Do not place objects or obstacles near the air suction and expulsion windows;...
2. Safety 2.10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) The machine is compliant with European Directive 2014/30/EU on electromagnetic compatibility, and with harmonized standard: EN 60974-10 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Product Standard for Arc Welding Equipment. All electrical equipment generates small amounts of electromagnetic emission. Electrical emission may be transmitted through power lines or radiated through space, similar to a radio transmitter.
2. Safety ◦ Equipment used for calibration or measurement. • Check that the other equipment in the environment is immune against electromagnetic disturbances. Ensure that the other equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection measures. •...
2. Safety 2.11 Precautions during welding • Access to the internal parts of the machine must only be carried out for maintenance purposes. • Immediately stop the machine in case of malfunctions. Do not restart the machine without first identifying and solving the problem. 2.11.1 Precautions in the workplace • Do not use the welding equipment near heat sources, in areas at risk with explosion hazard or fire haz- ard.
Page 22
2. Safety • Welding generates large amounts of heat. Welded surfaces and materials can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving materials in the work area. D5260210 • Welding generates fumes and gases that are hazardous to health. Use sufficient ventilation or a fume extractor to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing area.
2. Safety 2.12 Maintenance precautions • Stop the machine and turn the engine switch and fuel valve to OFF. • To avoid injury, do not perform maintenance with the engine running. ◦ Rotating parts, such as the fan, are dangerous and can get entangled on body parts or a worn object.
2. Safety 2.13 Precautions for disposal of waste material • Be sure to store the waste liquid in containers or tanks. • Do not discharge the oil directly into the soil or sewage system, rivers, seas or lakes. • When disposing of harmful waste such as oil, fuel, cool- ant, solvents, filters and batteries, follow current laws and regulations.

6. Operation Operation WARNING • Before positioning and starting the machine, read section “2. Safety” carefully. Grounding WARNING • Do not connect the machine to a grounding system. • The machine has only welding functions. There is no type of auxiliary generation output to power electrical equipment, such as: grinding wheels, drills, lights, etc. • The machine MUST NOT BE connected to a grounding system and does not have a PE grounding termi- nal.
6. Operation Starting and stopping the engine WARNING • Do not alter the primary adjustment conditions and do not tamper with sealed parts. 6.3.1 Starting the engine 1 - Turn the fuel valve (1) to the ON position. D5261030 2 - Turn choke control (2) to the closed position (C). WARNING •...
6. Operation 6.3.2 Stopping the engine WARNING • Before stopping the engine, stop the welding process. • In case of emergency, turn the engine switch (3) to the OFF position. 1 - Wait for the engine to decrease the rotations to the minimum speed (about 6-7 seconds after ending the welding work), then wait a few minutes for it to cool down.
6. Operation Operation This symbol (standard EN 60974-1 – safety requirements for arc welding equipment) indicates that the engine driv- en welder is designed to be used in environments with an increased risk of electric shock. • To reduce the risk of electromagnetic interference, use the minimum length of welding cables and keep them close and low (e.g. on the floor).
6. Operation 6.4.3 Duty cycle CAUTION • If the declared time or current values of the duty cycle are exceeded, the engine driven welder could be irreparably damaged. The duty cycle is the percentage of time for which it is possible to weld, at the declared welding current, in a 10 minute period.

6. Operation Resistance should be measured between terminals (1) and (3) of the two trimmers R13 and R76. Terminal (2) should not be considered. Example of R13 set-up 1,8 k (1)(+) (–) (–) D5262980...
7. Maintenance Maintenance WARNING • Before proceeding with maintenance, carefully read section “2. Safety”. • For engine maintenance, refer to the engine maintenance manual. Refuelling • Use fuel and lubricants according to the ambient temperature. 7.1.1 Fuel • Only use gasoline and fill the tank with clean fuel. • Keep the engine off during refuelling.
7. Maintenance 2 - Insert the cap into the filler neck without screwing it in, and remove it again to check the oil level on the dipstick (2). D5261140 3 - If the oil level is near or below the lower limit mark (Min.), Min. fill the oil to the upper limit mark (Max.) (lower edge of the filler hole). D5261150 Clean air filter 7.2.1 Inspection 1 - Remove the air filter cover and inspect the filter elements.
7. Maintenance Storage • Carefully clean the fairings and all other machine parts. • If the machine is not used for more than 30 days, make sure that the machine is protected from heat sources and from weather phenomena that can cause rust, corrosion of the components and damage to the machine.
8. Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Engine Issue Possible cause Solution The engine will not start, or starts 1) Engine switch (28) in the OFF posi- 1) Set the switch to ON. and stops immediately. tion. 2) No or insufficient oil in the engine. 2) Refill or top up. 3) Faulty engine stop device (oil-alert). 4) No fuel in tank or fuel valve closed. 3) Replace. 5) Faulty or dirty spark plug. 4) Fill the tank.
