OPERATION

B-6

4. Pull the cord rapidly.

5. If the engine does not start, open the choke

slightly (move lever toward the “RUN” position)

and pull the starter cord rapidly again. When the

engine starts, gradually open the choke to the

“RUN” position.

FOR A “HOT” ENGINE:

1. Open the fuel shutoff valve on the bottom of the

fuel tank by turning it full counterclockwise.

2. Place the choke lever in the “RUN”

position. Closing the choke of a hot

engine will flood the carburetor and

prevent starting.

3. Pull slightly on the recoil starter handle until resis-

tance is felt.

4. Pull the cord rapidly.

FOR BEST ENGINE STARTING:

• Always use fresh gasoline and be sure the filter is

clean and properly maintained.

• If you use an alternate fuel tank or supply, be sure

to install an in-line fuel filter.

• Do not pull the recoil starter with the

choke in the choke position more than

one time. Repeated pulls on a choked

engine will flood the carburetor.

• If the engine will not start, see the TROU-

BLESHOOTING section of this manual.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1. Remove all welding and generator power loads

and let the engine cool by running it for several

minutes.

2. Stop the engine by pushing the On-Off Switch on

the end of the engine to the “OFF” position.

3. Hold the lever down firmly until the engine com-

pletely stops. Otherwise, the engine may restart

or sputter as it stops.

4. Close the fuel shutoff valve at the bottom of the

fuel tank by turning it full clockwise. For long peri-

ods of storage, close the fuel shutoff valve and

let the engine run until there is no more fuel in the

line. Use a fuel additive such as Sta-Bil® to min-

imize fuel gum deposits.

Close the fuel valve when the machine is transported

to prevent fuel leakage from the carburetor.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

The engine will use a greater amount of oil during its

“break-in” period. The break-in is about 12 running

hours.

Check the oil frequently during break-in. Change the

oil after the first 5 hours of operation. For more

details, see the MAINTENANCE section of this manu-

al.

During break-in, subject the POWER ARC 5000 to

only moderate loads. Avoid long periods running at

idle. Before stopping the engine, remove all loads

and allow the engine to cool several minutes.
