A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.

WARNING

FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause

injury.

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

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity.

Be sure machine is stable when lifting.

Trailers (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 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 ensure 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; likely maintenance.

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

(1)Consult applicable federal, state, and local laws regarding specific requirements for use on pub- lic highways.

With the engine off, route the electrode and work cables through the strain relief bracket on the base and connect to the studs located below the fuel tank mounting rail. (see size recommendations below). For Positive polarity, connect the electrode cable to the terminal marked “Positive”. For Negative polari- ty, connect the electrode cable to the “Negative” stud. These connections should be checked periodi- cally and tightened if necessary.

When welding at a considerable distance from the welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
