Use the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder.

•DC manual (stick) welder.

•AC welder with reduced voltage control.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.

•Do not weld near flammable material .

•Do not weld on containers that have

held flammable material.

--------------------------------------------------------------

MOVING PARTS can injure.

•Keep away from moving parts

•Do not operate with doors open or

guards off.

•Stop engine before servicing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Always operate the welder with the hinged doors closed as these provide maximum protection from moving parts and insure proper cooling air flow.

Read carefully the Safety Precautions page in the Instruction Manual before operating this machine. Always follow these and any other safety procedures included in this manual and in the engine and com- pressor instruction manuals.

ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin.

• Wear eye, ear, and body protection.

--------------------------------------------------------------

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

•Consult instruction manual before operating.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before operating, read and understand the manufac- turerʼs instructions for this equipment and the con- sumables to be used including the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and follow your employerʼs safety practices.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

FUMES AND GASES can be dan- gerous to your health.

• Keep your head out of fumes.

• Use enough ventilation or exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases from your breathing zone and general area.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY is a diesel engine dri- ven welding power source. The machine uses a DC generator for DC stick electrode welding and an AC exciter for 115/230 VAC auxiliary power. As a gener- ator it can supply up to 3,000 watts of 115/230 volt AC power. As a welder it provides up to 575 amps of DC constant current output.

The engine is a 68.4 Hp (51kw), 4-cylinder water cooled diesel made by Perkins.

RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS

WELDER

The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY provides excellent con- stant current DC welding output for stick (SMAW) welding.

AUXILIARY POWER

The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY provides 3 KW of 115/230 VAC output for auxiliary power and emer- gency standby power.
