for specific engine manufacturers recommendations.
Upon receipt of the welder, check the engine dipstick to
be sure the oil is at the “full” mark. Add if required. DO
NOT OVERFILL.
FUEL
Fill the fuel tank with the grade of fuel recommended in
the Engine Operatorʼs Manual. Make sure fuel valve on
the sediment bowl is in the open position.

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.)
