LOCATION/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. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are
properly vented to an outside area.
WARNING
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES
Where there is a combustible surface directly under station-
ary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface should be cov-
ered with a steel plate at least .06"(1.6mm) thick, which
should extend not less than 5.90(150mm) beyond the equip-
ment on all sides.

Perkins engine is 30 degrees in all directions. If the engine is to be
operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and
maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
engine crankcase. When operating the welder at an angle, the
effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 22.5
gallons.
