INSTALLATION
DUAL MAVERICK
®

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. Locate the welder so that the engine exhaust
fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SUR-
FACES
Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface should
be covered with a steel plate at least .06”(1.6mm) thick,
which should extend not less than 5.90”(150mm) beyond the
equipment on all sides.
STORING
1. Store the machine in a cool, dry place when it is not in use.
Protect it from dust and dirt. Keep it where it can’t be
accidentally damaged from construction activities, moving
vehicles, and other hazards.
2. Drain the engine oil and refill with fresh 10W30 oil. Run the
engine for about five minutes to circulate oil to all the parts.
See the MAINTENANCE section of this manual for details on
changing oil.
3. Remove the battery, recharge it, and adjust the electrolyte
level. Store the battery in a dry, dark place.
STACKING
Dual Maverick
®
450 machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
To achieve optimum engine performance the
Dual Maverick
®
450 should be run in a level position.
The maximum angle of operation for the machine is 35 degrees
continuous in all directions.
When operating the welder at an angle, provisions must be made
for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil
capacity. The effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the
specified 20 gal.(75.7 ltrs.).
