SGW-250SS — INSTALLATION
Outdoor Installation
Install the welder/generator in a location where it will not be
exposed to rain or sunshine. Make sure the welder/generator
is on secure level ground so that it cannot slide or shift
around. Install the generator in a manner so the exhaust
fumes will not be discharged in the direction of nearby homes.
The installation site must be relatively free from moisture
and dust. All electrical equipment should be protected from
excessive moisture. Failure to do will result in deterioration
of the insulation and will result in short circuits and grounding.
Foreign materials such as dust, sand, lint and abrasive
materials will cause excessive wear, to the engine and
alternator parts.
CAUTION :
Pay close attention to ventilation when
operating the generator inside tunnels and
caves. The engine exhaust contains
noxious elements.
Selecting Optimum Welding Cable
Use the table below (Table 2) to select the best cable for the
total length and current of the application being used.
Indoor Installation
Exhaust gases from gasoline engines are extremely
poisonous. Whenever an engine is installed indoors the
exhaust fumes must be vented to the outside. The engine
should be installed at least two feet from any outside wall.
Using an exhaust pipe which is too long or too small can
cause excessive back pressure which will cause the engine
to heat excessively and possibly burn the valves.
Eliminate the danger of deadly carbon monoxide gas.
Remember that exhaust fumes from any gasoline engine
are very poisonous if discharged in a closed room, but
harmless if allowed to mix with the outside air. If the generator
is installed indoors, you must make provisions for venting
the engine exhaust to the outside of the building.
CAUTION
:
An electric shock may happen when
vibrators are used. Pay close attention to
handling when operating vibrators and
always use rubber boots and gloves to
insulate the body from electrical shock.
Note:
During the operation of Self-Sheld Welding ro MIG
Welding, do not allow the cables to bundle, because it
will cause a short current drop. This may also happen
if the size of the cables are smaller than recommended.
