TOWING
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road,
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 weld- ing equipment so there will be no undue stress to the frame- work.
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 ser- viced.
4.Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; roughness of surface on which the trailer will be operated; environmental conditions; like maintenance.
5.Conformance with federal, state and local laws.(1)
(1)Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific requirements for use on public highways.
VEHICLE MOUNTING
CAUTION
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components to fail.
•Only transport this Equipment on serviceable vehicles which are rated and designed for such loads.
•Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is stable under conditions of use.
•Do not exceed maximum rated loads for compo- nents such as suspension, axles and tires.
•Use appropriate nuts bolts and lockwashers to attach the equipment base to the metal bed or frame of vehicle.

BATTERY CONNECTIONS
This welder is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Make sure that the Engine Switch is in the “STOP” position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the negative battery terminal before attempt- ing to operate the machine. If the battery is discharged and does not have enough power to start the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the Battery section.
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work cables to the studs provided. These connections should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary. Loose connections will result in overheating of the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables. Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing cable volt- age drop.
