SAFETY WARNING WHEN REFUELING Injury or death may occur because of improper fueling. Do not smoke while filling engine fuel tank. Always refuel slowly to avoid the possibility of spilled fuel which may cause a risk of fire. Gasoline is extremely flammable, and its vapors can explode if ignited. Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS This product must be grounded. If it should malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. Do not touch live electrical parts. DANGER - IMPROPER CONNECTION OF THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTROCUTION.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION Serious injury or death may occur from normal sparks in the engine ignition system or engine exhaust/muffler. Always operate the unit in a well-ventilated area free of flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases, or other combustible materials. Do not weld where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).

RISK OF Bursting Serious injury or death may occur from an air tank explosion if air tanks are not properly maintained. Drain air tank daily or after each use to prevent moisture buildup in the air tank. If air tank develops a leak, replace the air tank immediately. Never repair, weld, or make modifications to the air tank or its attachments.

RISK OF Burns Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas can remain hot for some time after the unit is shutdown. Never allow any part of your body or other materials to contact any exposed metal parts on the unit. Never allow any part of your body to contact the engine muffler, compressor head or adjacent areas RISK OF Flying Objects...
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s manual completely before using. When using this product, the following basic precautions should always be followed: 1. Risk from Negligence: Risk of injury from negligent use. Never allow children or adolescents to operate this unit! Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
Wear Protective Clothing Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment appropriate to the job. Wear dry, hole-free insulating gloves and body protection. Wear a suitable hearing protective device such as earmuffs or earplugs to protect against objectionable or uncomfortable loud noises. Operating equipment safely requires the full attention of the operator.

Plug 4.6 Unit engine oil recommendation 4.6.1 KOHLER ENGINE MANUAL. Engine oil is a major factor affecting the performance and service life of the unit. For engines, please refer to your Kohler Command PRO CH440-3174 Kohler Engine Manual. 4.6.2 CHECK OIL BEFORE EACH USE. Regularly check and replace the oil to avoid failure caused by the oil level is too low, too high, too dirty, and too thick.

4.10 Electric start, please check that the voltage across the battery is 12.5-13V before starting the engine. 4.11 Air Compressor Pre-Check. Preparation before starting the air compressor. 4.11.1 Confirm the 4 in 1 unit meets the rated output volume and rated output pressure required by your job details.

4.11.4.1 Check your safety valve switch is working correctly. Once the tank of machine has relative pressure, pull the pull ring of the safety valve to the right to ensure safety valve is operating correctly. If air release is abnormal, the air compressor must be stopped immediately. 4.11.4.2 After each use of air compressor checklist! Be sure to always drain all air pressure from the tanks.

Inverter cutting machine transfers the working voltage of 50/60Hz to high frequency (such as 30KHz) via single tube IGBT high-power device, then reduces the voltage and adjusts the current, delivers high- power cutting current via PWM technology. RULES TO FOLLOW WHEN CUTTING -Keep the plasma cutter in the off position when not in use.
4.13.2 Using the Plasma Cutter 4.13.2.1 Adjust the air pressure regulator on panel to 43 PSI. 4.13.2.2 Turn the panel switch button to "CUT”. 4.13.2.3 When pressing the trigger on the torch will activate the magnetic valve. Plasma cutting torch nozzle will blow out plasma arc.
5.3.2 Recoil Start: Place the start key on the panel in the "ON" position, then gently pull the starting handle until you feel resistance, then pull quickly. If unsuccessful, repeat until the unit starts successfully. After start-up, the starting handle should be gently lowered back into the engine to avoid damage. Do not allow the rope to rub against the unit, otherwise the starting rope will wear out prematurely.

6.6 Welding Electrode Chart. Each welding rod has its own range of amperage to correctly burn the rod. Use the chart below as a guide for knowing where the amperage on welder needs to be set depending on the rod you’re working with at the time. 6.7 Digital Meter Display.
6.9 Use a surge protector when powering sensitive electronics! Electronic devices, including computers and many programmable appliances use components that are designed to operate within a narrow voltage range and may be affected by momentary voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
8.3 If you’re operating in dusty environments, the maintenance schedule timeline should be cut in half. 8.4 Refer to the maintenance section of the Engine Owner’s Manual for the maintenance schedule, spark plug servicing, air filter replacement, etc. 8.5 Cleaning your Unit. Never directly spray the generator with water. 8.5.1.
