Welding Gun Duty Cycle And Overheating:<br />

1. IMPORTANT! Welding longer than the rated duty cycle for this Welding<br />

equipment can damage the Gun and void its warranty.<br />

2. Duty cycle is a percentage of 10 minutes that the unit can weld at its rated load<br />

without overheating. (See Figure G.)<br />

3. If the unit should overheat, the thermostat opens, output stops, and the cooling<br />

fans continue to run. Wait fifteen minutes for the unit to cool. Reduce amperage<br />

or voltage, or duty cycle, before welding.<br />

4. This Welder, at its 40% duty cycle, can run continuously under load for 4 minutes<br />

out of each 10 minute period. (See Figure G.)<br />

5. NOTE: Higher duty cycles can be used at lower currents.<br />

(See Rating Plate information on Front Panel.)<br />
