MUFFLER OUTLET PIPE
Remove the plastic plug covering the muffler outlet
tube. Using the clamp provided secure the outlet pipe
to the outlet tube with the pipe positioned such that it
will direct the exhaust in the desired position
.
SPARK ARRESTOR
Some federal, state or local laws may require that
petrol or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust
spark arrestors when they are operated in certain
locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire
hazard. The standard muffler included with this
welder does not qualify as a spark arrestor. When
required by local regulations, a suitable spark
arrestor, must be installed and properly maintained.
An incorrect arrestor may lead to damage to the
engine or adversely affect performance.

WELDING OUTPUT CABLES
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work
cables to the output studs. The welding process dic-
tates the polarity of the electrode cable. These con-
nections should be checked periodically and tight-
ened if necessary.
Listed in Table A.1 are copper cable sizes recom-
mended for the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths
stipulated are the distance from the welder to work
and back to the welder again. Cable sizes are
increased for greater lengths primarily for the purpose
of minimizing cable voltage drop.

Work Cables.
MACHINE GROUNDING
Because this portable engine driven welder creates
its own power, it is not necessary to connect its
frame to an earth ground, unless the machine is
connected to premises wiring (home, shop, etc.).
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equip-
ment powered by this engine driven welder must:
a) be grounded to the frame of the welder using
a grounding type plug,
or
b) be double insulated.
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its
frame must be securely connected to the metal frame
of the vehicle. When this engine driven welder is
connected to premises wiring such as that in a home
or shop, its frame must be connected to the system
earth ground. See further connection instructions in
the section entitled “Standby Power Connections” as
well as the article on grounding in the latest National
Electrical Code and the local codes.
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should
be connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a
solid earth ground such as a metal ground stake
going into the ground for at least 10 Feet or to the
metal framework of a building which has been effec-
tively grounded. The National Electric Code lists a
number of alternate means of grounding electrical
equipment. A machine grounding stud marked with
the symbol is provided on the front of the welder.
