LOCATION/VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
STACKING
These machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the machine should be run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation for the Perkins engine is 30 degrees in all directions. If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintain- ing the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the engine crankcase. When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 22.5 gallons.
