ANGLE OF OPERATION
Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is where
the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of
continuous operation is 25º degrees in all directions, 35º
intermittent (less than 10 minutes continuous) in all directions.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under stationary or
fixed electrical equipment, the surface shall be covered with a
steel plate at least .06"(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not more
than 5.90"(150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
MACHINE GROUNDING
According to the United States National Electrical Code, the
frame of this portable generator is not required to be grounded
and is permitted to serve as the grounding means for cord
connected equipment plugged into its receptacle.
Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating
circumstances may require the machine frame to be grounded.
It is recommended that you determine the extent to which such
requirements may apply to your particular situation and follow
them explicitly. A machine grounding stud marked with the
symbol
is provided on the welding generator frame foot. In
general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be connected
with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid earth ground such as a
metal water pipe going into the ground for at least ten feet and
having no insulated joints, or to the metal framework of a
building which has been effectively grounded. The U.S. National
Code lists a number of alternate means of grounding electrical
equipment.
WARNING
• Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting
capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it is
equipped with a heavy accessory such as
trailer or gas cylinder.

cause injury.
• Do not operate machine while

LIFT BAIL
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
TRAILER (SEE OPTIONAL FEATURES)
If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume
responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not
result in a safety hazard nor damage the welding equipment.
Some of the factors to be considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln equipment and
likely additional attachments.
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the welding
equipment so there will be no undue stress to the framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to ensure
stability side to side and front to back when being moved and
when standing by itself while being operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed, roughness of
surface on which the trailer will be operated; environmental
conditions, likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws. (1)
