Polarity Control and Cable Sizes
With the engine off, route the electrode and work
cables through the strain relief bracket on the base
and connect to the studs located below the fuel tank
mounting rail. (see size recommendations below).
For Positive polarity, connect the electrode cable to
the terminal marked “Positive”. For Negative polari-
ty, connect the electrode cable to the “Negative”
stud. These connections should be checked periodi-
cally and tightened if necessary.
When welding at a considerable distance from the
welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.
Lift Bail
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
Trailers (See optional features)
If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must
assume responsibility that the method of attachment
and usage does not result in a safety hazard, nor
damage the welding equipment. Some of the factors
to be considered are as follows:
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln
equipment and likely additional attachments.
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to
ensure stability side to side and front to back when
being moved and when standing by itself while
being operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed; rough-
ness of surface on which the trailer will be operat-
ed; environmental conditions; likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state, and local laws. (1)
