What to do if I have no output at generator power AC receptacles but weld output is okay with my Miller Electric 185 Welding Accessories?
Reset and check the supplementary protectors. Check the receptacle wiring and connections. If the issue persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the stator windings and connections at terminal block 1T.
What to do if I have low output at generator power AC receptacles with my Miller Electric 185 Welding Accessories?
Check the Weld Output control setting and the engine speed, adjusting if necessary, as open circuit voltage is reduced as engine speed drops.
What to do if the engine will not crank (DX models only) on my Miller Electric 185 Welding Accessories?
Reset the ignition circuit breaker. Check and replace the ignition fuse. Check the battery voltage and battery connections, tightening if necessary. If the issue continues, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the engine ignition circuit.
What causes battery to discharge between uses (DX models only) on Miller Electric 185 Welding Accessories?
Clean the battery, terminals, and posts with a baking soda and water solution, then rinse with clear water. Periodically recharge the battery (approximately every 3 months). If the problem persists, replace the battery. Also, check the engine battery charging circuit and connections.
