A-4 INSTALLATION
EAGLE™ 10,000
A-4
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a
level condition which is where the optimum perfor-
mance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation
for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any
direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintain-
ing the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capaci-
ty will be slightly less than the specified 9 gal (34 L).
LIFTING
The EAGLE™ 10,000 weighs approximately 575 lbs.
(281kg) with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is
mounted to the machine and should always be used
when lifting the machine.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lift-
ing.
• Do not lift this machine using lift bail
if it is equipped with a heavy acces-
sory such as trailer or gas cylinder.
FALLING • Do not lift machine if lift bail is
EQUIPMENT can damaged.
cause injury. • Do not operate machine while
suspended from lift bail.

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, Welder output de-rating may be neces-
sary.
For maximum rating, de-rate the welder output 3.5% for
every 1000ft. (305m) above 3000ft. (914m).
If operation will consistently be at altitudes above 5,000 ft.
(1525m), a carburetor jet designed for high altitudes should
be installed. This will result in better fuel economy, cleaner
exhaust and longer spark plug life. It will not give increased
power. Contact your local authorized engine service shop
for high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine
manufacturer.
Do not operate with a high altitude jet installed at alti-
tudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine run-
ning too lean and result in higher engine operating
temperatures which can shorten engine life.
Contact your local Kohler Authorized Dealer for high altitude
jet kits that are available from the engine manufacturer.
Muffler Relocation
• Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before touch-
ing muffler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EAGLE™ 10,000 is shipped with the exhaust coming
out on the left side. The exhaust can be changed to the
opposite side by removing the two screws that hold the
exhaust port cover in place and installing the cover on the
opposite side. (Operating the EAGLE™ 10,000 without the
cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no
increase in machine output.)
LOCATION / VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow
of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid heated
air coming out of the welder recirculating
back to the cooling air inlet. Also, locate the welder so that
engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside
area.
STACKING
EAGLE™ 10,000 machines cannot be stacked.
CONNECTION OF LINCOLN ELECTRIC
WIRE FEEDERS
Note: A constant voltage (CV) power source is recommend-
ed for wire feeder applications. The LN-15 and LN-25
may be used with a constant current (CC) power
source, such as the EAGLE™ 10,000, for non-critical
applications where weld quality and deposition prop-
erties are not critical.
Shut off welder before making any electrical connec-
tions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
WIRE FEED CONNECTION OF LN-15 ACROSS-THE-ARC
WIRE FEEDER
The LN-15 has an internal contactor and the electrode is not
energized until the gun trigger is closed. When the gun trig-
ger is closed the wire will begin to feed and the welding
process is started.
a. Shut the welder off.
b. For electrode Positive, connect the electrode cable to
the "+" terminal of the welder and work cable to the "-"
terminal of the welder. For electrode Negative, connect
the electrode cable "-" terminal of the welder and work
cable to the "+" terminal of the welder.
