SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly read all the operation and maintenance manuals supplied with your machine. They include important safety precautions; detailed engine starting, operating and maintenance instructions and parts lists. ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. • Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring. • Insulate yourself from the work and ground. • Always wear dry insulating gloves. ENGINE EXHAUST can kill. • Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside. • Do not stack anything near the engine. MOVING PARTS can injure. • Do not operate with doors open or guards off. • Stop the engine before servicing. • Keep away from moving parts. See additional safety information at the front of this manual. Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment. 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. Also, locate the welder so that the engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area. 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. 4. See your engine operation manual for further information on fuel and engine preservation. STACKING Commander 400 machines CANNOT be stacked. ANGLE OF OPERATION To achieve optimum engine performance the Commander 400 should be run in a level position. The maximum angle of operation for the Deutz engine is 20 degrees in a direction to cause the control panel to be angled up, 30 degrees for side to side tilting and for the control panel to be angled down. If the engine is to be operated at an angle, provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the crankcase. When operating the welder at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 25 gallons.

(Stick & Wire model). A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist. WARNING FALLING EQUIPMENT can cause injury. Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it is equipped with a heavy accessory such as a trailer. Lift only with equipment of adequate lifting capacity. Be sure machine is stable when lifting. The Commander is shipped with the lift bail retracted. Before attempting to lift the Commander, secure the lift bail in a raised position. Secure the lift bail as follows: a. Open the engine compartment door. b. Locate the 2 access holes on the upper middle region of compartment wall just below the lift bail. c. Use the lifting strap to raise the lift bail to the full upright position. This will align the mounting holes on the lift bail with the access holes. d. Secure the lift bail with 2 thread forming screws. The screws are provided in the shipped loose parts bag. HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary. Some engine adjustments may be required. Contact a Deutz Service Representative. TOWING The recommended trailer for use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) is Lincoln’s K953-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsibility that th...
