COOLING SYSTEM

The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a 50-50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Check the radiator level and add a 50-50 solution as needed. (See the engine manual or antifreeze con- tainer for alternate antifreeze recommendations.)

MUFFLER

This welder is supplied with an adjustable rain cap for the muffler. Install the rain cap using the clamp provid- ed with the outlet facing away from the direction in which this unit will be transported. This will minimize the amount of water and debris that could enter the muffler during transportation.

EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTER

Some federal, state, or local laws may require that engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in certain locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The stan- dard mufflers included with these welders do not qual- ify as spark arresters. When required by local regula- tions, a suitable spark arrester must be installed and properly maintained.

TRAILERS

If you use a non-Lincoln trailer, you 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 consid- ered are as follows:

1.Design capacity of the trailer vs. the weight of the Lincoln equipment and likely additional attach- ments.

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. This includes when being moved and when standing by itself for operation or service.

4.Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of the surfaces where the trailer will be used, environmental conditions, likely maintenance.

5.Conformance with federal, state, and local laws. Consult applicable federal, state, and local laws about specific requirements for use on public high- ways.
