INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Precautions
WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and mainte- nance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions and parts lists.
Have a qualified technician do the maintenance and troubleshooting work. Turn engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the mainte- nance requiring removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
•Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
•Stop engine before servicing.
•Keep away from moving parts.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment.
Machine Grounding
Because a portable engine driven welder or generator creates its own power, it is not necessary to connect its frame to an earth ground, unless the machine is connected to premises wiring (your home, shop, etc.)
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which an engine driven welder supplies power must:
a)Be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug,
or
b) Be double insulated.
When a welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame must be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle.
Where an engine driven welder is connected to premises wiring such as that in your home or shop, its frame must be connected for the system earth ground. See further connection instructions in the section entitled “Standby Power Connections” as well as the article on grounding in the latest U.S. National Electrical Code and the local code.
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 10 feet and having no insu- lated joints or to the metal framework of a building which has been effectively grounded. The U.S. National Electrical Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding electrical equipment. A machine grounding stud marked with the symbol
is provided on the Generator Mount of the welder.
