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 SURFACES
Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary 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.

To achieve optimum engine performance the machine
should be run in a level position. The maximum angle
of operation for the Deutz engine is 30 degrees
up/down, to the right 35º, to the left 45º. 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 engine crankcase. When
operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel
capacity will be slightly less than the specified 29 gal-
lons.
