Only qualified personnel should install, use or service
this equipment
LOCATION/VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted
flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid
restricting the cooling air outlets. Also, locate the welder
so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to
an outside area.
STACKING
Commander 400 machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the
Commander 400 should be run in a level position. The
maximum angle of operation for the Deutz engine is 20
degrees in a direction to cause the control panel to be
angled up, 30 degrees for side to side tilting and for the
control panel to be angled down. If the engine is to be
operated at an angle, provisions must be made for
checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal
(FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase. When operating
the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will
be slightly less than the specified 25 gallons.
LIFTING
The Commander lift bale should be used to lift the
machine. The Commander is shipped with the lift bale
retracted. Before attempting to lift the Commander the
lift bale must be secured in a raised position. Secure
the lift bale as follows:
a. Open the engine compartment door.
b. Locate the 2 access holes on the upper middle
region of compartment wall just below the lift
bale.
c. Use the lifting strap to raise the lift bale to the full
upright position.
This will align the mounting
holes on the lift bale with the access holes.
d. Secure the lift bale with 2 thread forming screws.
The screws are provided in the shipped loose
parts bag.
FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause
injury.
•Do not lift this machine using lift bale if
it is equipped with a heavy accessory
such as a trailer or gas cylinder.
•Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
•Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
