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.

• Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries explosive or combustible material. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its frame must be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle. Use a #8 or larger copper wire connected between the machine grounding stud and the 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 volt- age drop.
- order kit T12246. INSTRUCTIONS ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Always operate the welder with the roof and case sides in place as this provides maximum protection from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.
*Current Sensing for Automatic Idle. (Receptacle viewed from front of Machine) 115 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES The 115V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs. The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current load through the associated receptacle (Refer to Table I ).
ELECTRICAL DEVICE USE WITH THE WELDMARK 225 Type Resistive Capacitive Inductive Capacitive/Inductive IWDC is not responsible for any damage to electrical components improperly connected to the Weldmark 225. INSTALLATION TABLE lll Common Electrical Devices Heaters, toasters, incandescent light bulbs, electric range, hot pan, skillet, coffee maker.
AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted by following Table III. The permissible currents shown assume that current is being drawn from either the 115V or 230V supply (not both at the same time).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Have qualified personnel do the maintenance work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SG or SH. Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil con- tainer to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH. SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temper- ature use, -5 F to 104 F (-20 C to 40 C).
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove bat- tery from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When rein- stalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well venti- lated.
GFCI RECEPTACLE TESTING AND RESET- TING PROCEDURE The GFCI receptacle should be properly tested at least once every month or whenever it is tripped. To properly test and reset the GFCI receptacle: • If the receptacle has tripped, first carefully remove any load and check it for damage.
