LOCATION AND 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
CROSS COUNTRY 300 machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
Engines are designed to run in the level condition which is where the
optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of
continuous operation is 20 degrees in all directions, 30 degrees
Intermittent (less than 10 minutes continuous) in all directions. 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 amount specified.
LIFTING
The CROSS COUNTRY 300 weighs approximately 1119 lbs. (508kg.)
with a full tank of fuel (1034 lbs. (470kg.) less fuel). A lift bail is
mounted to the machine and should always be used when lifting the
machine.
• Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it
is equipped with a heavy accessory
such as trailer or gas cylinder.
