needed to assure stabiltity of the machine
once it is mounted.
4.4.1 MACHINE CLEARANCE ALLOWANCE
Refer to
Figure 4-1
. Allowances must be made for proper
distance surrounding the machine (six inches [6”]
minimum: front and back). Most importantly a fresh, cool
and unhindered air supply must be allowed at the air
intake side of machine. In addition, clearance space
surrounding the machine is needed for purposes of
maintenance and control.
If desired mounting place needs to be pre-measured, the
additional
minimum
of six inches [6”] of surrounding
clearance space amounts to the machine location
dimensions given in
Table 4A - Allowable Machine
Parameter Measurements

machine is air cooled; adequate provision for supply of
cool air to the engine, compressor and generator is
required. The air requirements for proper ventilation
need to be considered when preparing to install the Air N
Arc 300 Series machine:
4.4.3 ROOF REQUIREMENTS (IF APPLICABLE)
If a roof above the machine is required it must be
retractable to allow for proper air circulation, as noted in
Section 4.4.2, Determining Proper Ventilation
Requirements.
CAUTION
Note that improperly-mounted equipment
may have the potentional to cause harm,
and possibly cause damage or undo
stress on the equipment.
NOTE
Roof should have a switch installed that
will prevent machine startup when the
roof is down.
IMPORTANT
The minimum vent air opening area for
the Air N Arc 300 Series machine is:
