PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION
EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that
engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters
when they are operated in certain locations where
unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The stan-
dard muffler included with this welder does not qualify
as a spark arrester. When required by local regula-
tions, a suitable spark arrester must be installed and
properly maintained.
Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine dam-
age or performance loss. Contact the engine manu-
facturer for specific recommendations.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION / VENTILATION
Always operate the welder with the doors closed.
Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow
and may cause overheating.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict-
ed flow of clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so that
engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an out-
side area.
MACHINE GROUNDING
According to the United States National Electrical Code,
the frame of this portable generator is not required to be
grounded and is permitted to serve as the grounding
means for cord connected equipment plugged into its
receptacle.
Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating
circumstances may require the machine frame to be
grounded. It is recommended that you determine the
extent to which such requirements may apply to your
particular situation and follow them explicitly. A machine
grounding stud marked with the symbol is provided
on the welding generator frame foot. In general, if the
machine is to be grounded, it should be connected with
a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground such
as a metal water pipe going into the ground for at least
ten feet and having no insulated joints, or to the metal
framework of a building which has been effectively
grounded. The U.S. National Code lists a number of
alternate means of grounding electrical equipment.
LIFT BAIL
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
