351040, Miami, Florida 33135 or CSA Standard W117.2-1974. A Free copy of “Arc Welding Safety” booklet E205 is available from the Lincoln Electric Company, 22801 St. Clair Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44117-1199. BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment to which this engine driven welder supplies power must: • be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug, or • be double insulated. INSTALLATION When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, it’s frame must be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle.
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.
3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377 feet. CAUTION Do not operate a Weldmark 225 with a high alti- tude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine operating temperatures which can shorten engine life.
TIG Module for installation instructions. NOTE: The TIG Module does not require the use of a high frequency bypass capacitor. However, if the Weldmark 225 is used with any other high frequency equipment, the bypass capacitor must be installed - order kit T12246.
Larger motors through 2 hp can be 230 V run provided the receptacle rating as previously stated is not exceeded. This may necessitate 230V operation only. 115 V* Total From Both 115V Duplexes Total From Both 115V Duplex WELDMARK 225...
