ST EAM    AND  PRESSURIZED  HOT
COOLANT  can  burn  face,  eyes,  and
skin.

The  coolant  in  the  radiator  can  be  very  hot  and  under
pressure.

1.- Do not remove radiator cap when engine is hot. Allow engine to cool.

2.-  Wear  gloves  and  put  a  rag  over  cap    area  when  removing  cap.

3.-  Allow  pressure  to  escape  before  completely  removing  cap.

-  Additional  Symbols  For  Installation,  Operation,  And  Maintenance

NOISE  can  damage  hearing.

Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

- Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.

FALLING  EQUIPMENT  can  injure

-

Use  lifting  eye  to  lift  unit  and  properly  installed

accessories  only,  NOT  gas  cylinders.  Do  not
exceed  maximum  lift  eye  weight  rating  (see

Specifications).

-

Use  equipment  of  adequate  capacity  to  lift  and  support  unit.

-

If using lift forks to move unit, be sure forks are long enough to extend

beyond  opposite  side  of  unit.

-

Keep  equipment  (cables  and  cords)  away  from  moving  vehicles

when  working  from  an  aerial  location.

OVERUSE can cause OVERHEATING

-

Allow cooling period; follow  rated duty cycle.

-

Reduce  current  or  reduce  duty  cycle  before  starting  to

weld again.

-

Do not block or  filter airflow to unit.

STATIC  (ESD)  can  damage  PC  boards.

-

Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling boards or parts.

-

Use proper  static-proof bags and  boxes to store,  move, or ship  PC boards.

ARC  WELDING  can  cause  interference.

-

Electromagnetic  energy  can  interfere  with  sensitive

electronic  equipment  such  as  microprocessors,  computers,
and computer-driven equipment such as robots.

-

Be  sure  all  equipm ent  in  the  welding  area  is

electromagnetically  compatible.

-

To reduce possible interference, keep weld cables as short as possible, close

together, and down low, such as on the floor.

-

Locate welding operation 100 meters from any sensitive electronic equipment.

-

Be sure this welding machine is installed and grounded according to this manual.

-

If interference still occurs, the user must take extra measures such as moving

the welding machine, using shielded cables, using line filters, or shielding the work
area.

-Read and follow all labels and the Owner’s Manual carefully before installing, operating, or servicing unit.
Read the safety information at the beginning of the manual and in each section.
