manual.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or ser-
vice this equipment.
LOCATION AND VENTILATION
Always operate the Classic II with the doors closed.
Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow
and may cause overheating. Always operate the
welder with the case roof on and all machine compo-
nents completely assembled. This will protect you from
the dangers of moving parts, hot metal surfaces, and
live electrical devices.
Whenever you use the Classic II, be sure that clean
cooling air can flow through the machine’s diesel
engine and the generator. Avoid dusty, dirty areas.
Also, keep the machine away from heat sources. Do
not place the back end of the generator anywhere near
hot engine exhaust from another machine. And of
course, make sure that engine exhaust is ventilated to
an open, outside area.
The Classic II may be used outdoors. Do not set the
machine in puddles or otherwise submerge it in water.
Such practices pose safety hazards and cause improp-
er operation and corrosion of parts.
STORING
1. Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not
in use. Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where
it can’t be accidentally damaged from construction
activities, moving vehicles, and other hazards.
2. Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil.
Run the engine for about five minutes to circulate oil
to all the parts. See the
Maintenance
section of
this manual for details on changing oil.
3. Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the
electrolyte level. Store the battery in a dry, dark
place.
4. See your engine operation manual for further infor-
mation on fuel and engine preservation.
