LIFTING

The Commander 300 weighs 1325 lb./601 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 sta- ble when lifting.

1.Design capacity of 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 that there will be no undue stress to the trailer’s framework.

3.Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure stability side to side and front to back when the trailer is being moved and when standing by itself.

4.Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of surface on which the trailer will be operated, environmental conditions, and likely maintenance.

5.Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. For maximum rating, derate the welder output 5% for every 300 meters (984 ft.) above 1500 meters (4920 ft.). For output of 300A and below, derate the welder output 5% for every 300 meters (984 ft.) above 2100 meters (6888 ft.)

Contact a Deutz Service Representative for any engine adjustments that may be required.

TOWING

The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle is Lincoln’s K953-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trail- er, he must assume responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a safety haz- ard nor damage the welding equipment. Some of the factors to consider are as follows:
