When the VRD switch is in the "ON" position. The display will
show a green tab with "VOLTS<30". If the VRD switch is in the
"ON" position and stud voltage is above 30 volts or while
welding, the display will show a red tab with "VOLTS>30".

LOCATION AND 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. Locate the welder so that the engine exhaust
fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SUR-
FACES
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.
Environmental limitations
The Maverick 325X is IP23 rated for use in an outdoor
environment.
The machine should not be subjected to falling water during use
nor should any parts of it be submerged in water. Doing so may
cause improper operation as well as pose a safety hazard. The
best practice is to keep the machine in a dry, sheltered area.

STORING

1. Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not in use.
Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where it can't be
accidentally damaged from construction activities, moving
vehicles, and other hazards.
Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil. Run the
2.
engine for about five minutes to circulate oil to all the parts.
See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for details on
changing oil.
Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the electrolyte
3.
level. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.

STACKING

Maverick
325X machines cannot be stacked.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

To achieve optimum engine performance the Maverick
should be run in a level position.
Caution: If the welder is placed on a tilted plane, make sure the
welder is balanced and secured and 6ft away from an edge to
prevent it from toppling over.
The maximum angle of operation for the machine is 35 degrees
continuous in all directions.
When operating the welder at an angle, provisions must be made
for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil
capacity. The effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the
specified 12 gal.(45.42 ltrs.).
