HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
The naturally aspirated engine will run correctly up to an attitude
of 600 m (2000 ft.) If the engine is to operate at an altitude above
this, an increase in smoke may be seen. This is normal for a
naturally aspirated engine. Below is a table showing the power
output loss as the altitude increases. All values in the table are
with respect to an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).
TABLE A.1 - ALTITUDE POWER LOSS (%)
ALTITUDE FT (M)
0 (0)
1640 (500)
3280 (1000)
4920 (1500)

HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION
At temperatures above 40°C (104°F), output voltage derating
may be necessary. While operating the Maverick 325X
continuously (100% Duty Cycle) at an ambient temperature of
40°C, a weld output of 10.7 KW should not be exceeded.
TOWING
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 that there will be no undue stress to the trailer's
framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to insure
stability side to side and front to back when being moved and
when standing by itself.
4. Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of
surface on which the trailer will be operated, and
environmental conditions.
5. Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.
6. Conformance with federal, state and local laws(1).
(1) Consult applicable federal, state and local laws regarding specific require-
ments for use on public highways.
VEHICLE MOUNTING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause
unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components to
fail.

OIL
The Maverick
engine crankcase filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API
class CD or better). Check the engine oil levels before starting the
engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as
required. Check the oil level every four hours of running time
during the first 50 running hours. DO NOT operate with oil below
low mark on dipstick. DO NOT fill above full mark on dipstick.
Refer to the engine Operator's Manuals for specific oil
recommendations and break-in information. The oil chang e
interval is dependent on the quality of the oil and the operati ng
environment. Refer to the engine Operator's Manuals for the
proper service and maintenance intervals.
