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 operated in
certain locations where unarrested sparks may present 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 main-
tained.
Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damage or
performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturer for
specific 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.
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly
read the engine manufacturer’s manual supplied with your
welder. It includes important safety precautions, detailed
engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and
parts lists.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or elec-
trode with skin or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent
exhaust outside.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with doors open or guards
off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
• Keep away from moving parts.
See additional warning information at the front of
this operator’s manual.
