Mounting

! Do not weld on base. Welding on base can cause fuel tank fire or explosion. Bolt unit down using holes provided in base.

! Always securely fasten weld- ing generator onto transport vehicle or trailer and comply with all DOT and other applica- ble codes.

! Do not mount unit by support- ing the base only at the four mounting holes. Use cross- supports to adequately sup- port unit and prevent damage to base.

! Always ground generator frame to vehicle frame to pre- vent electric shock and static electricity hazards.

! If unit does not have GFCI re- ceptacles, use GFCI-protected extension cord.

NOTICE − Do not install unit where air flow is restricted or engine may over- heat.
