Safety Precautions
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read all operating and
maintenance manuals supplied with your
machine. They include important safety
precautions, detailed engine starting, operating
and maintenance instructions, and parts lists.
WARNING
LOCATION AND VENTILATION
Whenever you use the Weldanpower® 125, be sure
that clean cooling air can flow around the machine’s
gasoline engine and the generator. Avoid dusty, dirty
areas. Also, keep the machine away from heat
sources. Do not place the back end of the generator
anywhere near hot engine exhaust from another
machine. And of course, make sure that engine
exhaust is ventilated to an open, outside area.
The Weldanpower 125 must be used outdoors. Do not
set the machine in puddles or otherwise submerge it
in water. Such practices pose safety hazards and
cause improper operation and corrosion of parts.
Always operate the Weldanpower 125 with the case
roof on and all machine components completely
assembled. This will help to protect you from the
dangers of moving parts, hot metal surfaces, and live
electrical devices.
