WELDING

Consider the consequences of welding.
When welding, the following must be done to avoid damage to the
electronic controls or the engine:
□ Both the positive (+) and negative (-) battery leads must be
disconnected before welding.
□ Ground cable must be in close proximity to welding location
- engine must never be used as a grounding point.
□ Welding on the engine or engine mounted components is
NEVER recommended.
Wear welding goggles and gloves when welding or using an acetylene torch.
To avoid injury from fire, check for fuel or oil leaks before
welding or carrying an open flame near the engine.
Insure that a metal shield separates the acetylene and oxygen which must be chained to a cart.
