1.4 Additional Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Hazards
OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING
Allow cooling period; follow rated duty cycle.
Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before
starting to weld again.
Do not block or filter airflow to unit.
HOT PARTS can cause severe burns.
Allow cooling period before maintaining.
Wear protective gloves and clothing when
working on a hot engine.
Do not touch hot engine parts or just-welded
parts bare-handed.

Turn off or unplug equipment before starting or
stopping engine.
Do not let low voltage and frequency caused by
low engine speed damage electric motors.
TILTING OF TRAILER can cause injury.
