Description
Power Pack is a mobile power source that can provide solutions for jobs offsite and in
remote powerless locations. It can be used as a generator, welder, or air compressor.
Powered by an air-cooled four cycle engine, this machine is designed to run at
maximum RPM. The Power Pack offers protection features such as; low-oil level shutoff
which provides protection for the engine; and a thermostatically protected alternator.
The welding system is designed to weld in the Stick process (SMAW). The 140 amp AC
stick welder can weld up to 5/16 inch steel.
The air compressor provides compressed air to power pneumatic tools and operate
spray guns. The pump is oil lubricated; therefore a small amount of oil carryover is
present in the compressed air stream. NOTE: Applications requiring air free of oil or
water should have the appropriate coalescing filter installed.

Operating Instructions
Glossary of Terms
AC or Alternating Current - electric current that reverses
direction periodically. Sixty cycle current travels in both
directions sixty times per second.
Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) - the voltage between the
electrode and the work clamp of the welding machine when
no current is flowing (not welding). The OCV determines how
quickly the arc is struck.
Arc Length - the distance from the end of the electrode to the
point where the arc makes contact with the work surface.
Overlap - occurs when the amperage is set too low. In this
instance, the molten metal falls from the electrode without
actually fusing into the base metal.
Base Metal - the material to be welded.
Butt Joint - a joint between two members aligned
Porosity - gas pockets, or cavities, formed during weld
approximately in the same plane.
solidification. They weaken the weld.
Crater - a pool, or pocket, that is formed as the arc comes in
Penetration - the depth into the work piece that has been heat
effected by the arc during the welding process. A good weld
achieves 100% penetration meaning that the entire thickness
of the work piece has been heated and resolidified. The heat
effected area should be easily seen on the opposite side of the
weld.
contact with the base metal.
DC or Direct Current - electric current which flows only in one
direction. The polarity (+ or -) determines which direction the
current is flowing.
DC Reverse Polarity - occurs when the electrode holder is
connected to the positive pole of the welding machine. Reverse
Polarity directs more heat into melting the electrode rather than
the work piece. It is used on thinner material.
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) - also called Stick, is a
welding process that uses a consumable electrode to support
the arc. Shielding is achieved by the melting of the flux coating
on the electrode.
DC Straight Polarity - occurs when the electrode holder is
connected to the negative pole of the welding machine. With
straight polarity more heat is directed to the work piece for
better penetration on thicker material.
Slag - a layer of flux soot that protects the weld from oxides and
other contaminants while the weld is solidifying (cooling). Slag
should be removed after weld has cooled.
Electrode - a coated metal wire having approximately the same
composition as the material being welded.
Spatter - metal particles thrown from the weld which cool and
harden on the work surface. Spatter can be minimized by using
a spatter resistant spray on the work piece before welding.
Fillet Weld - approximately a triangle in cross-section, joining
two surfaces at right angles to each other in a lap, T or corner
joint.
Tack Weld - weld made to hold parts in proper alignment until
final welds are made.
Flux - a coating, when heated, that produces a shielding gas
around the welding area. This gas protects the parent and filler
metals from impurities in the air.
Travel Angle - the angle of the electrode in the line of welding.
It varies from 5º to 45º depending on welding conditions.
T Joint - made by placing the edge of one piece of metal on the
surface of the other piece at approximately a 90º angle.
Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) - also called Gasless, is a
welding process used with a wire-feed welding machine. The
weld wire is tubular with flux material contained inside for
shielding.
Undercut - a condition that results when welding amperage
is too high. The excessive amperage leaves a groove in the base
metal along both sides of the bead which reduces the strength
of the weld.
Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) - also called MIG, is a welding
process used with a wire feed welding machine. The wire is solid
and an inert gas is used for shielding.
Weld Pool or Puddle - a volume of molten metal in a weld
prior to its solidification as weld metal.
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) - also called TIG, is a
welding process used with welding equipment with a high
frequency generator. The arc is created between a non-
consumable tungsten electrode and the work piece. Filler metal
may or may not be used.
Weld Bead - a narrow layer or layers of metal deposited on the
base metal as the electrode melts. Weld bead width is typically
twice the diameter of the electrode.
Work Angle - the angle of the electrode from horizontal,
measured at right angles to the line of welding.
Lap Joint - a joint between two overlapping members in
parallel planes.

Generator Operation
(FRONT PANEL SWITCHES MUST BE SET TO GENERATOR AND
120V/240V POSITIONS)
Never exceed the posted maximum wattage for the unit or any
individual receptacle. Refer to owner’s manuals and product tags
to determine the wattage of all electrical load devices.
1. All load devices and extension cords should use three prong
terminals. Refer to Table 2 for extension cord and cable size
requirements.
If actual watt ratings are not available, the Power Usage Chart,
see Table 1, may be used as a general guideline.
2. Allow the engine to run for 2-3 minutes before applying any
electrical loads.
Remember that devices which generate heat during operation
such as heaters, incandescent light bulbs, motors and hair
dryers have a higher power draw than devices which generate
little heat during operation such as florescent bulbs, radios, and
clocks.
3. The 120 volt duplex receptacles are rated for 20 amps and
may be used in any combination of 120 volt loads and also
with 240 volt loads through the 240 volt receptacles.
Long power cords and extension cords also draw additional
power. Keep cords at minimum possible length.
These duplex receptacles are of the Ground Fault Circuit
Interupter (GFCI) type. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters
can significantly reduce the possibility of injury if an
electrical short occurs. The engine must be running and the
front panel switches set to supply power to the receptacles
before the GFCI’s can be reset.
Refer to Table 2 for maximum limits for lengths of extension
cords.
8. Circuit protection is provided by circuit breakers. The main
circuit breaker is a rocker type rated for 30 amps. This
is the maximum total current draw for all receptacles in
combination. A 20 amp circuit breaker supplies each of the
two duplex receptacles. The circuit breaker opens when
the load exceeds its maximum capacity or a short circuit
occurs. If the circuit breaker opens, perform the following
procedures to correct the problem:

Operating Instructions
Welder Operation
(FRONT PANEL SWITCH MUST BE SET TO WELDER POSITION)
4. Set the amperage adjustment knob to the proper
amperage for the electrode diameter. Refer to the electrode
manufacturer for proper current settings.
The electrode holder and rod are electrically
“live” (current potential) when the engine is
running.
WelDinG leaD assemblies
Welding leads assemblies are not included with all units. Use
copper welding cables in the size specified in Table 3.
1. Verify that the surfaces of metals to be joined are free from
dirt, rust, paint, oil, scale or other contaminants. These
contaminants make welding difficult and cause poor welds.
All persons operating this equipment or in the
area while equipment is in use must wear
protective welding gear including: eye protection with proper shade
(minimum shade 10), flame resistant clothing, leather welding gloves,
and full foot protection.
5. Position the electrode to begin weld, lower the welding
helmet or position the hand shield, and strike an arc. Adjust
weld amperage as needed.
6. When finished welding, turn engine off and store unit
properly.
Duty cycle /theRmostatic PRotection
If heating, welding, or cutting materials that are
galvanized, zinc plated, lead, or cadmium plated
refer to the General Safety Information Section for instructions.Toxic
fumes may be created when these materials are heated.
Welder duty cycle is the percentage of actual weld time that can
occur in a ten minute interval. For example, at a 10% duty cycle,
actual welding can occur for one minute, then the welder must
cool for nine minutes.
2. Connect the work clamp to the work piece. Make sure
the contact is on bare metal and not obstructed by paint,
varnish, corrosion, or non-metallic materials.
Internal components of the alternator are protected from
overheating with an automatic thermal switch.
3. Insert the exposed part of the electrode (the end with no
flux) into the jaws of the electrode holder.
Compressor Operation
Before starting the compressor, thoroughly read
all component instructions manuals, especially
the engine manual.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
8. All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some
condensed water and oil with the compressed air. Install
appropriate water/oil removal equipment and controls as
necessary for the intended application.
Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment may result in damage to machinery
or workpiece.
1. Set compressor switch to ON. The compressor clutch will
engage and the pressure switch will disengage the clutch
when the tank pressure reaches the preset maximum
pressure. As air is discharged from the tanks and the tank
pressure falls to the preset minimum pressure, the pressure
switch will engage the clutch again.
Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose
until startup is complete and the unit checks
okay.
2. Adjust the regulator knob to vary the outlet pressure
according to the requirements of the tool(s) being used.
3. Connect air hose(s) to outlet connector(s) and connect
tool(s) to hose(s).
MOiSTURE in COMPRESSED AiR
4. An ASME safety valve in the manifold will automatically
release air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it
comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high
or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended
period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When
using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried
from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
5. The discharge tube carries compressed air from the pump
to the check valve. This tube becomes very hot during use.
To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge
tube.
6. The check valve allows air to enter the tanks, but prevent air
in the tanks from flowing back into the compressor pump.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a
paint job, especially when spraying other than water based
paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog
the gun, rendering it ineffective.
7. There is a drain valve in the end of each tank. They have
weighted tubes to draw air/liquid from the bottom of the
tanks. Use these valves to drain moisture from the tanks
daily to reduce the risk of corrosion. Reduce tanks pressure
below 10 PSI, then drain the moisture from the tanks daily
to avoid tank corrosion.
A filter or air dryer in the air line, located as near to the gun as
possible, will help eliminate moisture.

compressor system, check the air filter, oil level and
gasoline level before each use. The ASME safety valve should
also be checked daily. Pull ring on safety valve and allow the
ring to snap back to normal position. This valve automatically
releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck
and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME safety valve must
be replaced.
7. Recheck tension and alignment. If correct, reinstall belt
guards.
alteRnatoR DRive belt
The alternator uses a synchronous drive belt transmitting a
significant amount of power. Belt tension is critical to belt life.
New synchronous belts will stretch after installation and use.
When properly adjusted, the new belt deflects 1/10 inch with
4.5 to 4.9 pounds of force applied midway between the engine
pulley and the alternator pulley. For reinstalling a used belt, the
correct force to apply is 3.3 to 3.7 pounds for the same 1/10 inch
deflection.
Do not attempt to tamper with the ASME
safety valve.
With engine OFF, clean debris from engine, flywheel, tank, air
lines and pump cooling fins.
To adjust alternator belt tension:

modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked or
damaged tanks.
3. Adjust tension nut in alternator base plate to obtain the
proper tension. The belt must be properly aligned when the
adjustment is made.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
4. To align belt, lay a straight edge against the face of the
alternator pulley, touching the rim at two places. The
straight edge should be parallel with the belt.
The tank should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once
a year. Look for cracks forming near the welds. If a crack is
detected, remove pressure from tank immediately and replace.
5. Adjust alternator or engine pulley so that the belt runs
parallel to the straight edge.
PumP DRive belt
6. The synchronous pulleys are attached to the shafts using
tapered bushings. The two set-screws must be removed and
one reinserted into the hole with threads on the inner half.
Tighten this screw to press the pulley and bushing apart.
Belt stretch is a result of normal use. When properly adjusted,
the belt deflects about 1/2 inch with five pounds of force applied
midway between the engine pulley and pump pulley.
To adjust pump belt tension:
1. Remove belt guards.
7. Once the bushing is moved to the correct position, move the
two set-screws back to their original locations in the holes
with threads on the outer half and tighten to 175 in-lbs.
2. Loosen the four fasteners holding the pump to the
baseplate.
8. Tighten 2 pivot bolts and clamp bolt in alternator base
plate.
3. Shift the pump in the proper direction. The belt must be
properly aligned when adjustment is made.
9. Recheck tension and alignment. If correct, reinstall belt
guard.

Wire
Welding Guidelines
GeneRal
This line of welding machines utilizes a process known as Shielded Metal-Arc Welding
(SMAW). This process is used to bond metals by heating them with an electric arc
created between the electrode and the work piece.
Flux
Slag
Weld
Electrodes used for shielded metal arc welding have two parts. The inner core is a metal
rod or wire that should be similar in composition to the base metal. The outer coating
is called flux. Various types of flux exist. Each coating is used for a particular welding
situation.
Crater
While the metal is molten, it can be contaminated by elements in the air. This
contamination could weaken the weld. The flux coating creates a protective barrier
called slag that protects the molten metal from contaminants.
Work Piece
figure 2 - Weld components
When current (amperage) flows through the circuit to the electrode, an arc is formed
between the end of the electrode and the work piece. The arc melts the electrode and
the work piece. The melted metal of the electrode flows into the molten crater and
forms a bond with the work piece as shown in Figure 2.
NOTE: Discontinue using and discard electrodes that burn down to 1 to 2 inches from
the electrode holder.
1/16 inch
stRikinG an aRc
Place the bare end of the electrode in the holder. Grip the holder lightly to reduce tiring
of the hand and arm.
NOTE: Always keep the jaws of the holder clean to insure good electrical contact with
the electrode.
Same as Electrode Diameter
Be careful not to touch the work piece or welding bench with the
electrode as this causes arc flashes.
figure 3 - scratching method
The best method of striking an arc is the scratching method. Drag the electrode at an
angle along the surface much like striking a match. Upon contact with the plate, lift the
electrode approximately 1/16 inch off the surface or it will stick (See Figure 3).
NOTE: Should the electrode stick to the work piece, break it loose by quickly twisting
or bending at the holder while pulling upward. If the electrode does not break loose,
disengage the electrode by releasing it from the holder.
electRoDe tyPe anD size
Four types of electrodes are recommended for this welder. The electrodes are
commonly known by the AWS (American Welding Society) designation as follows:
1. E-6011 Deep penetrating
• Flat bead with deep penetrating arc.
• For rusted or dirty mild steel general repair work.
2. E-6013 General Purpose
• All position, smooth deposit rod with low spatter.
• For all mild steel and general purpose work.
3. E-7014 Fast fill
• Smooth bead and fast deposition
• Ideal for joints with poor fitup and general repair work.
4. E-7018-AC High Strength
• Ideal for pipes and structural applications.
• Low hydrogen reduces porosity for a strong weld.
NOTE: Only the E-7018-AC electrode is recommended for use with these welders.
Other E-7018 electrodes are designed for use with higher open circuit voltages than
these welders are capable of producing. Recommended electrode diameter is 3/32 inch
or 1/8 inch.

Operating Instructions
Welding Guidelines (Continued)
Work angle is the angle from horizontal, measured at right
angles to the line of welding.
aRc WelDinG basics
Four basic techniques affect weld quality. These are: amperage
setting, weld angle, arc length, and travel speed. Proper use of
these techniques is necessary for good weld quality.
For most applications, a 45º travel angle and 45º work angle
is sufficient. For specific applications, consult an arc welding
handbook.
amPeRaGe settinG
NOTE: Right handed welders should weld from left to right. Left
handed welders should weld from right to left. The electrode
should always point into the weld puddle as shown.
The correct amperage involves the adjustment of the welding
machine to the required amp setting. This is regulated by a
knob on the welder. The amperage required depends on the size
(diameter) of electrode used and the thickness of the work piece.
aRc lenGth
Arc length is the distance from the work piece to the tip of the
electrode, the distance which the arc must travel. A proper
arc length is essential to generate the heat needed for welding
(See Figure 4). An arc that is too long produces an unstable arc,
reduces penetration, increases spatter, and causes flat and wide
beads. Too short an arc does not create enough heat to melt the
work piece, the electrode has a tendency to stick, penetration
will be poor, and uneven beads with irregular ripples result. A
proper arc should be no longer than the diameter of the rod.
Consult specifications listed on the welder. Excessive amps burn
through light metals and the weld bead is flat and porous (See
Figure 4). The bead appears high and irregular if the amperage is
too low.
WelD anGle
Weld angle is the angle at which the electrode is held during
the welding process. Using the correct angle ensures proper
penetration and bead formation. Electrode angle involves two
positions - travel angle and work angle (See Figure 5).
The sound of a proper arc is a steady, crisp sizzle, similar to
bacon frying.
Travel angle is the angle in the line of welding and may vary from
5º to 45º from the vertical, depending on welding conditions.

Welding Guidelines (Continued)
tRavel sPeeD
5º - 45º
The travel speed is the rate at which the electrode is moved across the weld area (See
Figure 4). When the speed is too fast, the bead is narrow and bead ripples are pointed
as shown. When the speed is to slow, the weld metal piles up and the bead is high and
wide. To control travel speed, watch the width of the weld bead (not the arc) when
welding. The weld bead is the orange, molten metal behind the arc. The width should
be approximately twice the diameter of the welding rod. Control travel speed to obtain
a consistent bead width.
Travel Angle
slaG Removal
Wear ANSI compliant safety glasses (ANSI Standard Z87.1) and protective
clothing when removing slag. Hot, flying debris can cause personal injury
to anyone in the area.
After completing the weld, wait for the welded sections to cool. A protective coating
called slag now covers the weld bead which prevents contaminants in the air from
reacting with the molten metal. Once the weld cools to the point that it is no longer
glowing red, the slag can be removed. Removal is done with a chipping hammer.
Lightly tap the slag with the hammer and break it loose from the weld bead. The final
clean-up is done with a wire brush. When making multiple weld passes, remove the
slag before each pass.
Work Angle
figure 5 - Weld angle
Cover
WelDinG Positions
Four basic welding positions can be used; flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead.
Welding in the flat position is easier than any of the others because welding speed can
be increased, the molten metal has less tendency to run, better penetration can be
achieved, and the work is less fatiguing.
Filler
Root
Other positions require different techniques such as a weaving pass, circular pass, and
jogging. A higher skill level is required to complete these welds.
All work should be performed in the flat position if possible. For specific applications,
consult an arc welding handbook.
WelD Pass
figure 6 - Weld Passes
Sometimes more then one pass is necessary to fill the joint. The root pass is first,
followed by filler passes and the cover pass (See Figures 6 and 7). If the pieces are thick,
it may be necessary to bevel the edges that are joined at a 60º angle. Remember to
remove the slag before each pass.
