Lift Bail
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
Trailer (See Optional Features)
If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must
assume responsibility that the method of attachment
and usage does not result in a safety hazard nor dam-
age the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be
considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln
equipment and likely additional attachments.
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to
ensure stability side to side and front to back when
being moved and when standing by itself while being
operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed, rough-
ness of surface on which the trailer will be operated;
environmental conditions, likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws.

Polarity Control and Cable Sizes
With the engine off, route the electrode and work
cables through the strain relief bracket on the base
and connect to the studs located below the fuel tank
mounting rail. (See size recommendations below.)
For positive polarity, connect the electrode cable to
the terminal marked “+”. For Negative polarity, con-
nect the electrode cable to the “-” stud. These con-
nections should be checked periodically and tightened
if necessary.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
