with SAE 10W-30 oil. Check the oil level before start-
ing the engine. If it is not up to the full mark on the dip
stick, add oil as required. Make certain that the oil filler
cap is tightened securely. Refer to the engine Owner's

BATTERY CONNECTIONS

This welder is shipped with the negative battery cable
disconnected. Make sure that the Engine Switch is in
the "STOP" position and attach the disconnected
cable securely to the negative battery terminal before
attempting to operate the machine. If the battery is
discharged and does not have enough power to start
the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the
Battery section.
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work
cables to the studs provided.These connections
should be checked periodically and tightened if neces-
sary. Loose connections will result in overheating of
the output studs.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended for
the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulated
are the distance from the welder to work and back to
the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing
cable voltage drop.
