Read this entire installation section before you start installation. Safety Precautions WARNING Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all operating and maintenance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions, detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.
STACKING Weldanpower 125 machines CANNOT be stacked. TILTING Place the machine on a secure, level surface whenever you use it or store it. Any surfaces you place it on other than the ground must be firm, non- skid, and structurally sound. The gasoline engine is designed to run in a level position for best performance.
Table A.1 lists recommended cable sizes and lengths for rated current and duty cycle. Length refers to the distance from the welder to the work and back to the welder. Cable diameters are increased for long cable lengths to reduce voltage drops.
• Do not cross welding cables at output stud connection. Keep isolated and separate from one another. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lincoln Electric offers a welding accessory kit with #6 welding cables. See the ACCESSORIES section of this manual for more information. For more information on welding , see WELDING OPERATION in the OPERATION section of this manual.
