13. Important Safety Instructions
When starting the unit, using
recoil starter grip, be sure that
nothing is in a position to be hit
by the operator's hand or arm.
Be sure the switch on electric
power tools is in the "OFF" posi-
tion before plugging them into
the unit.
Do not operate the unit or any
electrical tool in any area where
water or similar materials consti-
tute an electrical hazard to the
operator. Do not operate on wet
surfaces, in rain or in snow.
Always be sure that the unit is on
secure footing so that it cannot
slide or shift around, endangering
workers.
Avoid contacting the hot exhaust
manifold, muffler or cylinder(s).
Keep clear of all rotating parts.
Unless the tool or appliance is
double insulated, it must be
grounded through a properly
grounded receptacle. Tools and
appliances which have 3 prong
plugs must be plugged into
extension cords and electrical
receptacles with 3 holes. Before
operating any electrical item, be
sure it is in good repair.
Beware of using this equipment
in confined spaces. Confined
spaces, without sufficient fresh air
ventilation, can contain danger-
ous gases. Running gasoline
engines in such environments can
lead to deadly explosions and/or
asphyxiation.

Use extreme caution when lift-
ing this unit. This unit is heavy so
proper lifting techniques should be
used.
Wear close fitting clothing and
safety equipment appropriate to
the job. Wear dry, hole-free insulat-
ing gloves and body protection.
Wear a suitable hearing protective
device such as earmuffs or earplugs
to protect against objectionable or
uncomfortable loud noises.
Operating equipment safely
requires the full attention of the
operator. Do not wear radio or
music headphones while operating
machine.
Arc rays from the welding process
produce intense visible and invis-
ible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks
fly off from the weld. ARC RAYS
can burn eyes and skin. Wear an
approved welding helmet fitted
with a proper shade of filter lenses
to protect your face and eyes
when welding or watching. Wear
approved safety glasses with side
shields under your helmet.
Use protective screens or barri-
ers to protect others from flash,
glare and sparks; warn others not
to watch the arc. Wear protec-
tive clothing made from durable,
flame-resistant material and foot
protection.
Welding, chipping, wire brushing,
and grinding cause sparks and
flying metal. As welds cool, they
can throw off slag. Wear approved
safety glasses with side shields even
under your welding helmet.
INSTALLATION
Read safety warnings before setting-up
the unit.
Ensure the oil level in the unit's pump
is adequate. If low, add SAE-30W non-
detergent oil.
Location:
In order to avoid damaging the unit,
do not incline the unit transversely or
longitudinally more than 10°.
Place unit at least 12 inches away from
obstacles that may prevent proper ven-
tilation. Do not place unit in an area:
4
-where there is evidence of oil or gas
leaks.
-where flammable gas vapors or mate-
rials may be present.
-where air temperatures fall below
32°F or exceed 104°F.
-where extremely dirty air or water
could be drawn into the unit.
SERVICE TRUCK INSTALLATION:
Installations may vary. Mounting
should be done to a rigid frame mem-
ber. Installer is responsible for securing
the equipment in a safe manner.
30 Gallon Units:
Optional Hardware: IX-0001 (Isolators).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

This product must be grounded. If it
should malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce
the risk of electric shock.
The screw and ground terminal on the
frame must always be used to connect
the unit to a suitable ground source.
The ground path should be made with
#8 size wire. Connect the terminal
of the ground wire between the star
washers and screw then tighten the
screw fully. Connect the other end of
the wire securely to a suitable ground
source.The National Electric Code con-
tains several practical ways in which
to establish a good ground source.
Examples given below illustrate a few
of the ways in which a good ground
source may be established.
A metal underground water pipe in di-
rect contact with the earth for at least
10 feet can be used as a grounding
source. If a pipe is unavailable, an 8
foot length of pipe or rod may be used
