------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only qualified personnel should install, use or
service this equipment.
LOCATION / VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted
flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid
restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder
so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to
an outside area.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SUFACES
Where there is a combustible surface directly under sta-
tionary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface should
be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick,
which should extend not less than 5.90(150mm) beyond
the equipment on all sides.
STORING
1. Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not
in use. Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where it
can’t be accidentally damaged from construction
activities, moving vehicles, and other hazards.
2. Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil.
Run the engine for about five minutes to circulate oil
to all the parts. See the MAINTENANCE section of
this manual for details on changing oil.
3. Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the elec-
trolyte level. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.
STACKING
COMMANDER 500 CUMMINS machines cannot be
stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the COM-
MANDER 500 CUMMINS should be run in a level posi-
tion. The maximum angle of operation for the Cummins
engine is 35 degrees in all directions. If the engine is to
be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for
checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal
(FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase. When operating
the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will
be slightly less than the specified 25 gallons.
