SGW-250SS — INSTRUMENTATION
Power Outlets
The generator has the following 60 Hz, 120/240 volt single-
phase receptacles.

Single Phase
One Duplex NEMA (GFCI) 5-20R (120V, 20 Amp)
One Twist Lock NEMA L5-30R (120V, 25 Amp)
One Twist Lock NEMA L14-30R (120/240V, 25 Amp)
Main Circuit Breaker (2-Pole)
This 2-pole 25 amp breaker protects the generator from short
circuiting or overloading from the 60 Hz single phase load.
GFCI Protection Breaker (Single-Pole)
This Single-pole 25 amp breaker protects the GFCI
receptacle from short circuiting or overloading from the 60
Hz single phase load.
CAUTION :
When using a combination of dual
receptacles, total load should not exceed
the rated capacity of the generating set.
Idle Control Switch
The unit is provided with an automatic idle control for noise
suppression and fuel cost reduction. The automatic idle
control automatically engages under a no-load condition.
With the automatic idle control switched “ON”, the engine
revolutions will automatically drop to about 2100 rpm (low-
speed operation) within 7 seconds after the welding stops.
When welding is resumed, the engine speed is automatically
increased to about 3600 rpm (high-speed operation) as soon
as the electrode contacts the base metal
This provides for smooth welding operation. With AC loads
of more than 100W (such as lighting equipment, motor-
powered tools, submersible water pumps, etc.), the engine
runs at high speed. When a no load condition is produced,
the engine automatically shows down.
Turn the idle control switch to the “ON” (up) position when
the welder or AC loads of more than 100W is connected.
Turn the idle control switch to the “OFF” (down) position
when AC loads of less than 100W or when a magnetic switch
is used.
Fuel Gauge
The fuel gauge is located on the fuel tank and allows easy
monitoring of the fuel level.
GFCI Receptacle
Before connecting a load to the generator's GFCI receptacle,
push push
push push
push
the "Test Button" on the front of receptacle before
connecting the load, to confirm that the receptacle is
functioning correctly.
