STACKING

SA-250 machines CANNOT be stacked.

TILTING

Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenev- er you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non-skid, and structurally sound.

The diesel engine is designed to run in a level position for best performance. If you do operate it at a slight angle, be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil level at the FULL mark as it would be in its normal level condition. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an angle.

LIFTING

The SA-250 weighs 1650 lb./743 kg. 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.

Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity. Be sure machine is stable when lifting.

WARNING

Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts.

•Stop the engine when fueling.

•Do not smoke when fueling.

•Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure.

•Do not overfill the fuel tank.

•Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine.

•Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank.

OIL

The SA-250 is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. This should be fine for most ambient operating temperature conditions. See the engine operation manual for spe- cific recommendations. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. This is an added precaution. When full, the oil level should be up to but not over the FULL mark on the dipstick. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it to the full mark. DO NOT

overfill.

For more oil fill and service information, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

FUEL

Fill the fuel tank with clean, diesel fuel only. The SA-250 has a 15 gallon (57 liter) fuel tank with a top fill and fuel gauge mounted

on the control panel. See the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual for more details about fuel.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

It may be necessary to derate welder output at higher altitudes. Some engine adjustment may be required. Contact a Perkins Service Representative.

Read and understand the information about the diesel engine in the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual before you operate the SA-250.

BATTERY CONNECTIONS

–+ The SA-250 is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Before you

operate the machine, make sure the IGNITION switch is in the OFF position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the battery terminal. If the battery is discharged and won't start the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the Maintenance section.
