uals supplied with your machine. They include impor-
tant safety precautions, detailed engine starting,

Only qualified personnel should install, use or service
this equipment
LOCATION/VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted
flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid
restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder
so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to
an outside area.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES
Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface
should be covered with a steel plate at least
.06”(1.6mm) thick, which should extend not less than
5.90(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
STACKING
These machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the machine
should be run in a level position. The maximum angle
of operation for the air compressor is 20 degrees in all
directions. If the compressor is to be operated at an
angle, provisions must be made for checking and
maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capac-
ity in the compressor crankcase. The maximum angle
of operation for the Perkins engine is 30 degrees in all
directions. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintaining
the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
engine crankcase. When operating the welder at an
angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less
than the specified 22.5 gallons.
LIFTING
The equipment lift bale should be used to lift the
machine.
• Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lift-
ing.
• Do not lift this machine using lift
bale if it is equipped with a heavy
accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.
FALLING • Do not lift machine if lift bale is
