HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. As a rule of thumb, derate the welder output 5% for every 400 meters (1312 ft.) above 1000 meters (3280 ft.).
Contact a Deutz Service Representative for any engine adjustments that may be required for high altitude operation.
TOWING
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road,
1.Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equipment and likely additional attachments.
2.Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the welding equipment so that there will be no undue stress to the trailer’s framework.
3.Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure stability side to side and front to back when being moved and when standing by itself.
4.Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of surface on which the trailer will be operated, and environmental conditions.
5.Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.
6.Conformance with federal, state and local laws.1
1Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific requirements for use on public high- ways.

FUEL USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The capac- ity of the fuel tank is 25 gallons (94.6 liters). See engine Operator’s Manual for specific fuel recommendations. The Commander 400 is protected by a low fuel shutdown to prevent the engine from running out of fuel. The machine will indicate a low fuel condition by turning on the low fuel light. A time of 30 minutes will elapse once the low fuel light illuminates before the machine will shut- down. A restart of the machine will restart the timer to allow the operator to override this feature. The amount of reserve fuel remaining in the tank after the first shutdown will vary from machine to machine. The operator must determine the amount of fuel remaining before
NOTE: Before starting the engine, open the fuel shutoff valve (lever to be in line with hose) located on the side the fuel
