FUEL CAP

Remove the plastic cap covering from the Fuel Tank
Filler neck and install the Fuel Cap.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM

The Deutz engine is air cooled by a belt driven axial
blower. The oil cooler and engine cooling fins should
be blown out with compressed air or steam to maintain
proper cooling (See the engine Owners Manual for pro-
cedures and frequency).

BATTERY CONNECTION

WARNING: Use caution as the electrolyte is a strong
acid that can burn skin and damage eyes.
Remove and discard the insulating cap from the nega-
tive battery terminal. Attach and tighten negative bat-
tery cable terminal.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with a wet charged battery; if
unused for several months, the battery may require a booster
charge. Be careful to charge the battery with the correct polar-
ity. Make sure that the battery is level while charging.

ELECTRICAL OUTPUT CONNECTIONS

INSTALLATION

MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE

Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet
tube. Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe
to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it
will direct the exhaust in the desired direction.

SPARK ARRESTER

Some federal, state or local laws may require that
gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust
spark arresters when they are operated in certain loca-
tions where unarrested sparks may present a fire haz-
ard. The standard muffler included with this welder
does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by
local regulations, a suitable spark arrester, such as the
K899-1 must be installed and properly maintained.
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the engine
or adversely affect performance.
