BATTERY CHARGING OUTPUT and BATTERY
EXPLOSION can injure.
Battery charging not present on all models.
D Always wear a face shield, rubber gloves, and protective
clothing when working on a battery.
D Stop engine before disconnecting or connecting battery cables,
battery charging cables (if applicable), or servicing battery.
D Do not allow tools to cause sparks when working on a battery.
D Do not use welder to charge batteries or jump start vehicles un-
less it has a battery charging feature designed for this purpose.
D Observe correct polarity (+ and −) on batteries.
D Disconnect negative (−) cable first and connect it last.
D Keep sparks, flames, cigarettes, and other ignition sources
away from batteries. Batteries produce explosive gases during
normal operation and when being charged.
D Follow battery manufacturer's instructions when working on or
near a battery.
D Have only qualified persons do battery charging work.
D If battery is being removed from a vehicle for charging, discon-
nect negative (−) cable first and connect it last. To prevent an arc,
make sure all accessories are off.
D Charge lead-acid batteries only. Do not use battery charger to
supply power to an extra-low-voltage electrical system or to
charge dry cell batteries.
D Do not charge a frozen battery.
D Do not use damaged charging cables.
D Do not charge batteries in a closed area or where ventilation is
restricted.
D Do not charge a battery that has loose terminals or one showing
damage such as a cracked case or cover.
D Before charging battery, select correct charger voltage to match
battery voltage.
D Set battery charging controls to the Off position before connect-
ing to battery. Do not allow battery charging clips to touch each
other.
D Keep charging cables away from vehicle hood, door, or moving
parts.
WELDING WIRE can injure.
D Do not press gun trigger until instructed to do
so.
D Do not point gun toward any part of the body,
other people, or any metal when threading
welding wire.
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING.
D Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.
D Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before
starting to weld again.
D Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
STATIC (ESD) can damage PC boards.
D Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling
boards or parts.
D Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to
store, move, or ship PC boards.
TILTING OF TRAILER can injure.
D Use tongue jack or blocks to support weight.
D Properly install welding generator onto trailer
according to instructions supplied with trailer.
READ INSTRUCTIONS.
D Read and follow all labels and the Owner's
Manual carefully before installing, operating, or
servicing unit. Read the safety information at
the beginning of the manual and in each
section.
D Use only genuine replacement parts from the manufacturer.
D Perform maintenance and service according to the Owner's
Manuals, industry standards, and national, state, and local
codes.
H.F. RADIATION can cause interference.
D High-frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio
navigation, safety services, computers, and
communications equipment.
D Have only qualified persons familiar with
electronic equipment perform this installation.
D The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician
promptly correct any interference problem resulting from the
installation.
D If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the
equipment at once.
D Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.
D Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep
spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to
minimize the possibility of interference.
ARC WELDING can cause interference.
D Electromagnetic energy can interfere with
sensitive electronic equipment such as micro-
processors, computers, and computer-driven
equipment such as robots.
D Be sure all equipment in the welding area is
electromagnetically compatible.
D To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as
possible, close together, and down low, such as on the floor.
D Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive elec-
tronic equipment.
D Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded
according to this manual.
D If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures
such as moving the welding machine, using shielded cables,
using line filters, or shielding the work area.
