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
SAE400 WELD’N AIR machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the SAE400
WELD’N AIR should be run in a level position. The
maximum angle of operation for the air compressor is
20 degrees in all directions. If the compressor 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 compressor crankcase. The
maximum angle of operation for the Perkins engine is
45 degrees in all directions. If the engine is to be oper-
ated at an angle, provisions must be made for check-
ing and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL)
oil capacity in the engine crankcase. When operating
the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will
be slightly less than the specified 22.5 gallons.
LIFTING
The SAE400 WELD’N AIR lift bale should be used to
lift the machine.
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.
