LIFT BAIL
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
TRAILER (SEE OPTIONAL FEATURES)
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 nor damage 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 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, roughness of surface
on which the trailer will be operated; 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.
• Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using lift bail if
it is equipped with a heavy accessory
such as trailer or gas cylinder.

cause injury. • Do not operate machine while
suspended from lift bail.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or
fixed electrical equipment, the surface shall be covered with a
steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not more
than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
MACHINE GROUNDING
According to the United States National Electrical Code, the frame of
this portable generator is not required to be grounded and is
permitted to serve as the grounding means for cord connected
equipment plugged into its receptacle.
Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating
circumstances may require the machine frame to be grounded. It is
recommended that you determine the extent to which such
requirements may apply to your particular situation and follow them
explicitly. A machine grounding stud marked with the symbol is
provided on the welding generator frame foot. In general, if the
machine is to be grounded, it should be connected with a #8 or
larger copper wire to a solid earth ground such as a metal water
pipe going into the ground for at least ten feet and having no
insulated joints, or to the metal framework of a building which has
been effectively grounded. The U.S. National Code lists a number of
alternate means of grounding electrical equipment.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is where the
optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of
continuous operation is 25º degrees in all directions, 35º intermittent
(less than 10 minutes continuous) in all directions.
