SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all the operation and maintenance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions; detailed engine starting, operating, and maintenance instructions; and parts lists.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrodes with your skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust to the out- side.

• Do not stack anything on or near the engine.

MOVING PARTS can injure.

•Do not operate this equipment with any of its doors open or guards off.

• Stop the engine before servicing it.

• Keep away from moving parts.

See additional safety information at the front of this manual.

Only qualified personnel should install, use, or ser- vice this equipment.

LOCATION AND VENTILATION

Always operate the SA-250 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.

Whenever you use the SA-250, 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 SA-250 may be used outdoors. Do not set the machine in water. Such practices pose safety hazards and cause improper 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. See the Maintenance section for informa- tion about charging the battery.

4.See your engine operation manual for further infor- mation on fuel and engine preservation.
