TOWING
Use a recommended trailer for use with this equip-
ment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehi-
cle(1). If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must
assume responsibility that the method of attachment
and usage does not result in a safety hazard or dam-
age the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be
considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln
equipment and likely additional attachments.
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
insure 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; like maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws. (1)
(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding spe-
cific requirements for use on public highways.

OIL
The BIG RED™ 600 is shipped with the engine
crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API
class CD or better). Check the oil level before starting
the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip
stick, add oil as required. Check the oil level every
four hours of running time during the first 35 running
hours. Refer to the engine Operator’s Manual for spe-
cific oil recommendations and break-in information.
The oil change interval is dependent on the quality of
the oil and the operating environment. Refer to the
engine Operator’s Manual for the proper service and
maintenance intervals. The machine is equipped with
an oil drain valve.
FUEL
USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY
• Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The
capacity of the tank is 20 gals. (75.7 ltrs). When
the fuel gauge reads empty the tank contains
approximately 2 gals. (7.6ltrs.) of reserve fuel.
NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the pre-
filter/sediment filter. Which should be in
the closed position when the welder is not
used for extended periods of time.
