BLW-400SSW — INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation
Install the welder/AC generator in a location where it will not
be exposed to rain or sunshine. Make sure the Welder/AC
generator is on secure level ground so it cannot slide or
shift around. Also install the welder/AC generator so the
exhaust will not be discharged in the direction of nearby
homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation, and will result in short circuits.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials will cause excessive wear to engine and alternator
parts.
CAUTION :
Pay close attention to ventilation when
operating the welder/AC generator inside
tunnels and caves. The engine exhaust
contains noxious elements.
Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from diesel engines are extremely poisonous.
Whenever an engine is installed indoors the exhaust fumes
must be vented to the outside. The engine should be installed
at least two feet from any outside wall. Using an exhaust
pipe which is too long or too small can cause excessive
back pressure and cause the engine to heat excessively.
Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Remember that exhaust fumes from any diesel engine are
very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but harmless
if allowed to mix with the outside air. If the welder/AC
generator is installed indoors, you must make provisions for
venting the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.
CAUTION :
An electric shock may happen when
vibrators are used. Pay close attention to
handling when operating vibrators and
always use rubber boots and gloves to
insulate the body from a electrical shock.
