TOWING
Check with distributor for the recommended trailer for use with
this equipment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle. If
the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsi-
bility that the method of attachment and usage does not result
in a safety hazard nor damage 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 weld-
ing equipment so there will be no undue stress to the frame-
work.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure
stability side to side and front to back when being moved
and when standing by itself while being operated or ser-
viced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of sur-
face on which the trailer will be operated; environmental con-
ditions; like maintenance.
5. Conformance with laws in nation / region to be used.
