OPERA TION B1.4 B1.4 V ANT AGE® 500 ENGINE CONTROLS (Items 1 through 9) 1 . R UN ST O P SW IT CH T oggling the switch to the RUN position energizes the fuel solenoid for approximately 30 seconds. The engine must be started within that time or the fuel solenoid will denergize, and the switch must be tog- gled to reset the timer .
OPERA TION 6. OIL PRESSURE GAUGE The gauge displays the engine oil pressure when the engine is running. 7. ENGINE PROTECTION The yellow engine protection light remains off with proper oil pressure and under normal operating tem- peratures. If the light turns on, the engine protection system will stop the engine.
OPERA TION 13. WELDING TERMINALS SWITCH In the WELD TERMINALS ON position, the output is electrically hot all the time. In the REMOTEL Y CON- TROLLED position, the output is controlled by a wire feeder or amptrol device, and is electrically off until a remote switch is depressed.
OPERA TION ENGINE OPERA TION ST ARTING THE ENGINE 1. Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel shutoff valve is in the open position (lever to be in line with the hose). 2. Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close engine compartment door .
WELDER OPERA TION DUTY CYCLE Duty Cycle is the the ratio of the uninterrupted on-load duration to 10 minutes. The total time period of one complete on-load and no-load cycle is 10 minutes. For example, in the case of a 60% duty cycle, load is applied continuously for 6 minutes followed by a no- load period of 4 minutes.
