PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION
EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that engines be
equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are oper-
ated in certain locations where unarrested sparks may pre-
sent a fire hazard. The standard muffler included with this
welder does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required
by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be
installed and properly maintained.
Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damage or
performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturer for spe-
cific recommendations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOCATION/VENTILATION
Always operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the
doors open changes the designed air flow and may cause
overheating.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of
clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust
fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is
where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum
angle of continuous operation is 20 degrees in all directions, 30
degrees Intermittent (less than 10 minutes continuous) in all
directions.
If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be
made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal
(FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase.
When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel
capacity will be slightly less than the amount specified.
MACHINE GROUNDING
According to the United States National Electrical Code, the
frame of this portable generator is not required to be grounded
and is permitted to serve as the grounding means for cord con-
nected equipment plugged into its receptacle.
Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating circum-
stances may require the machine frame to be grounded. It is
recommended that you determine the extent to which such
requirements may apply to your particular situation and follow
them explicitly. A machine grounding stud marked with the sym-
bol is provided on the welding generator frame foot. In gen-
eral, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be connected
with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground such as
a metal water pipe going into the ground for at least ten feet
and having no insulated joints, or to the metal framework of a
building which has been effectively grounded. The U.S.
National Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding
electrical equipment.
LIFT BAIL
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have
thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs manual sup-
plied with your welder. It includes important safety pre-
cautions, detailed engine starting, operating and mainte-
nance instructions, and parts lists.

WARNING
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under sta-
tionary or fixed electrical equipment, the surface shall be
covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick,
which shall extend not more than 5.90”(150mm) beyond
the equipment on all side.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CAUTION
• Lift only with equipment of ade-
quate lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when
lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using
lift bale if it is equipped with a
heavy accessory such as trailer
or gas cylinder.
FALLING • Do not lift machine if lift bale is
