CAUTION
Spark Arrester
(For Codes 10158, 10160)
Some federal, state or local laws may require
gasoline engines to be equipped with exhaust spark
arresters when they are operated in certain locations
where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard.
The standard mufflers & deflectors included with this
machine do not qualify as spark arresters. When
required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester
(available from Briggs & Stratton) must be installed
and properly maintained.

Some federal, state or local laws may require
gasoline engines to be equipped with exhaust spark
arresters when they are operated in certain locations
where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard.

PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE
Read and understand the engine operating and
maintenance instructions supplied with this machine
before you operate the Weldanpower 125.
Oil
The Weldanpower 125 is shipped with the engine
filled with SAE 10W30 oil. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL
BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. This is an
added precaution. Do not screw in dipstick when
checking oil level. DO NOT OVERFILL. Be sure the
fill plug is tight after servicing.
Fuel
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh, regular grade
(minimum 85 octane for codes 10158, 10160 and 87
octane for codes 11183, 11406) lead free gasoline.
DO NOT MIX OIL WITH GAS. The Weldanpower 125
capacity is approximately 1.6 gallons (6.1 Liter). DO
NOT OVERFILL, allow room in the fuel tank for fuel
expansion.
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. It can operate at an
angle, but this should never be more than 15 degrees
in any direction. If you do operate it at a slight angle,
be sure to check the oil regularly and keep the oil
level full. Also, fuel capacity will be a little less at an
angle.
LIFTING
The Weldanpower 125 should be lifted by two people.
(See Specification section for weight). Its welded tube
roll cage is designed to make lifting easier.
