Lincoln Electric SVM 113-A Welder User Manual


 
STACKING
WELDANPOWER 125 machines CANNOT be stacked.
TILTING
Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenev-
er you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on
other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and
structurally sound.
The gasoline engine is designed to run in a level posi-
tion for best performance. It can operate at an angle,
but this should never be more than 15 degrees in any
direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure
to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level full.
Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle.
LIFTING
The WELDANPOWER 125 should be lifted by two peo-
ple. (It weighs 190 lbs/86.4 kg.) Its welded tube roll
cage is designed to make lifting easy.
PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE
Read and understand the information about the gaso-
line engine in the Operation and Maintenance sec-
tions of this manual before you operate the
WELDANPOWER 125.
• Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT
engine parts.
• Stop the engine when fueling.
• Do not smoke when fueling.
• Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.
• Do not overfill the fuel tank.
• Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear
before starting the engine.
• Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.
OIL
The WELDANPOWER 125 is shipped with
the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil.
CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE
ENGINE. This is an added precaution. Do not screw
in the dipstick when checking the oil. If it is not full,
add enough oil to fill it. DO NOT OVERFILL. Be sure
the fill plug is tight.
For more oil fill and service information, see the
Maintenance section of this manual.
FUEL
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular
grade lead-free gasoline. DO NOT MIX OIL
WITH THE GASOLINE.
The WELDANPOWER 125 has a plastic, 1.6
gallon (6.0 liter) fuel tank mounted on the engine. See
the Operation and Maintenance sections of this
manual for more details about fuel.
SPARK ARRESTER
Gasoline engine mufflers may emit sparks when the
engine is running. Some federal, state, or local laws
require spark arresters in locations where unarrested
sparks could present a fire hazard.
Standard mufflers and deflectors (like the ones includ-
ed with the WELDANPOWER 125) do not act as spark
arresters. When local laws require it, a spark arrester
must be installed on the machine and properly main-
tained. Consult Briggs & Stratton for proper engine
spark arrester.
