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 shall be covered with a steel plate at
least .06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not
less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the equipment on
all sides.
