. Electrically bond generator
frame to vehicle frame by met-
al-to-metal contact.
! Bed liners, shipping skids,
and some running gear insu-
late the welding generator
from the vehicle frame. Al-
ways connect a ground wire
from the generator equip-
ment grounding terminal to
bare metal on the vehicle
frame as shown.
! If unit does not have GFCI re-
ceptacles, use GFCI-pro-
tected extension cord.

is required if generator will sup-
ply standby power during
emergencies or power out-

ages.
1 Utility Electrical Service
Essential
Loads 2 Transfer Switch (Double-Throw)
Switch transfers the electrical load
from electric utility service to the
generator. Transfer load back to
electric utility when service is re-
stored.
Install correct switch (customer-
supplied). Switch rating must be
same as or greater than the branch
overcurrent protection.
3 Fused Disconnect Switch
Install correct switch (customer-
supplied) if required by electrical
code.
4 Welding Generator Output
Generator output voltage and wir-
ing must be consistent with regular
(utility) system voltage and wiring.
Connect generator with temporary
or permanent wiring suitable for the
installation.
Turn off or unplug all equipment
connected to generator before
starting or stopping engine. When
starting or stopping, the engine has
low speed which causes low volt-
age and frequency.
5 Essential Loads
Generator output may not meet the
electrical requirements of the prem-
ises. If generator does not produce
enough output to meet all require-
ments, connect only essential
loads (pumps, freezers, heaters,
etc. See Section 14-4).
If unit does not have GFCI receptacles, use GFCI-protected extension cord.

Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, slag, and dirt from work surface before
welding.
Amperage too high for electrode. Decrease amperage or select larger electrode.
Arc length too long or voltage too high. Reduce arc length or voltage.
Insufficient heat input. Increase amperage. Select larger electrode and increase amperage.
Improper welding technique. Place stringer bead in proper location(s) at joint during welding.
Momentarily hold arc on groove side walls when using weaving technique.
Workpiece dirty. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, slag, and dirt from work surface before
welding.
Improper joint preparation. Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove.
Insufficient heat input. Increase amperage. Select larger electrode and increase amperage.
Waviness Of Bead weld metal that is not parallel and does not cover
joint formed by base metal.
Excessive heat input. Use restraint (clamp) to hold base metal in position.
