TOWING

Use a recommended trailer for use with this equip- ment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehi- cle(1). 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 or dam- age the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be considered are as follows:

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 there will be no undue stress to the 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 while being operated or serviced.

4.Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; rough- ness of surface on which the trailer will be operat- ed; environmental conditions; like maintenance.

5.Conformance with federal, state and local laws.(1)

(1)Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding spe- cific requirements for use on public highways.

OIL

The BIG RED™ 600 is shipped with the engine crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API class CD or better). Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as required. Check the oil level every four hours of running time during the first 35 running hours. Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for spe- cific oil recommendations and break-in information. The oil change interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the operating environment. Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for the proper service and maintenance intervals. The machine is equipped with an oil drain valve.
