PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION

WARNING

Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’s manual supplied with your welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.

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

ELECTRIC ShOCK can kill.

Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.

Insulate yourself from work and ground

• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

Do not operate with doors open or guards off.

Stop engine before servicing.

Keep away from moving parts.

ExhAuST SPARK ARRESTER

Some federal, state or local laws may require that engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in certain locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The standard muffler included with this welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be installed and properly maintained.

CAuTION

Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damage or performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturer for specific recommendations.

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

LOCATION / VENTILATION

Always operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow and may cause overheating.

The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict- ed flow of clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so that 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 sta- tionary or fixed electrical equipment, the surface shall be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not more than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.

MAChINE GROuNDING

According to the United States National Electrical Code, the frame of this portable generator is not required to be grounded and is permitted to serve as the grounding means for cord connected equipment plugged into its receptacle.

Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating circumstances may require the machine frame to be grounded. It is recommended that you determine the extent to which such requirements may apply to your particular situation and follow them explicitly. A machine grounding stud marked with the symbol is provided on the welding generator frame foot. In gen- eral, 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 ten feet and having no insulat- ed joints, or to the metal framework of a building which has been effectively grounded. The U.S. National Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding electrical equipment.

LIFT bAIL

A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.

WARNING

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

be sure machine is stable when lifting.

Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder.

TRAILER (SEE OPTIONAL FEATuRES)

If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a safety hazard nor damage the weld- ing equipment. Some of the factors to be considered are as follows:

1.Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equip- ment and likely additional attachments.
