Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man- uals supplied with your machine. They include impor- tant safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions and parts lists.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring.
•Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
•Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside
•Do not stack anything near the engine.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
•Stop engine before servicing.
•Keep away from moving parts
Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment
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.
STACKING
Commander 400 machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the Commander 400 should be run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation for the Deutz engine is 20 degrees in a direction to cause the control panel to be angled up, 30 degrees for side to side tilting and for the control panel to be angled down. If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase. When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 25 gallons.
LIFTING
The Commander lift bale should be used to lift the machine. The Commander is shipped with the lift bale retracted. Before attempting to lift the Commander the lift bale must be secured in a raised position. Secure the lift bale as follows:
a.Open the engine compartment door.
b.Locate the 2 access holes on the upper middle region of compartment wall just below the lift bale.
c.Use the lifting strap to raise the lift bale to the full upright position. This will align the mounting holes on the lift bale with the access holes.
d.Secure the lift bale with 2 thread forming screws. The screws are provided in the shipped loose parts bag.
WARNING
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury.
•Do not lift this machine using lift bale 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.
