PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION
EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTER
Some federal, state or local laws may require that engines be
equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in
certain locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire
hazard. The standard muffler included with this welder does not
qualify as a spark arrester. When required by local regulations,
a suitable spark arrester must be installed and properly
maintained.
CAUTION
Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damage or
performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturer for
specific recommendations.
LOCATION / VENTILATION
Always operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the
doors open changes the designed air flow and may cause
overheating.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of
clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust
fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
This equipment is for industrial use only and it is not intended for
use in residential locations where the electrical power is
provided by the public low-voltage supply system. There can be
potential difficulties in residential locations due to conducted as
well as radiated radio-frequency disturbances. The EMC or RF
classification of this equipment is Class A.
