PRE-OPERATION SERVICE
READ the engine operating and maintenance
instructions supplied with this machine.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OIL
This unit is supplied from the factory with the engine
crankcase filled with a high quality SAE 10W/30 oil.
This oil should be acceptable for most typical ambient
temperatures. Consult the engine operation manual
for specific engine manufacturerʼs recommendations.
Upon receipt of the welder, check the engine dipstick to
be sure the oil is at the “full” mark. DO NOT overfill.
FUEL
Fill the fuel tank with the grade of fuel recommended in
the Engine Operatorʼs manual. Make sure the fuel
valve on the water separator is in the open position.
COOLING SYSTEM
The radiator 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 engine manual or antifreeze container for alter-
nate antifreeze recommendations).
CAUTION
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 when
being moved and when standing by itself while
being operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed, rough-
ness of surface on which the trailer will be operat-
ed; environmental conditions, likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws. (1)
(1) Consult your federal, state and local laws regarding specific
requirements for use on public highways.
POLARITY CONTROL AND CABLE SIZES
With the engine off, route the electrode and work
cables through the strain relief bracket on the base and
connect to the studs located below the fuel tank mount-
ing rail. (See size recommendations below.) For pos-
itive polarity, connect the electrode cable to the termi-
nal marked “+”. For Negative polarity, connect the
electrode cable to the “-” stud. These connections
should be checked periodically and tightened if neces-
sary.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample sized welding cables.
