Lincoln Electric EAGLE SVM192-A - Manual (Page 11)

INSTALLATION A-5 A-5
EAGLE™ 10,000
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a
level condition which is where the optimum perfor-
mance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation
for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any
direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintaining
the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity
will be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons.
LIFTING
The EAGLE 10,000 weighs approximately 575 lbs.
with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to the
machine and should always be used when lifting the
machine.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
If the EAGLE 10,000 will be consistently operated at
altitudes above 5000 ft, a carburetor jet designed for
high altitudes should be installed. This will result in bet-
ter fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer spark
plug life. It will not give increased power which is
decreased at higher altitudes. Engine horsepower is
reduced by 3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377
feet.
Do not operate a EAGLE 10,000 with a high altitude
jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This will
result in the engine running too lean and result in
higher engine operating temperatures which can
shorten engine life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact your local Kohler Authorized Dealer for high
altitude jet kits that are available from the engine man-
ufacturer.
Muffler Relocation
• Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before
touching muffler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EAGLE 10,000 is shipped with the exhaust com-
ing out on the left side. The exhaust can be changed to
the opposite side by removing the two screws that hold
the exhaust port cover in place and installing the cover
on the opposite side. (Operating the EAGLE 10,000
without the cover in place will result in a higher noise
level and no increase in machine output.)
LOCATION / VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict-
ed flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to
avoid heated air coming out of the welder recirculating
back to the cooling air inlet. Also, locate the welder so
that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an
outside area.
STACKING
EAGLE 10,000 machines cannot be stacked.
