Welding Precautions

WELDING PRECAUTIONS

NOTE: Whenever factory E-coat has been removed by sanding, grinding or weld burn-off, the coating must be restored. Use Low Temperature Anti-Corrosion Coating PM-12-A.

1. If welding must be done on a frame, make sure the following requirements are met:
- If the frame is attached to the vehicle, the battery ground cable must be disconnected before using any electrical welding equipment.
- Do not use gas welding equipment.
- Use a temperature-indicating crayon to make sure that the temperature does not exceed 750 °C (1,400 °F).
- Install new spot-welded components by spot welding where possible. If spot welding is not possible, use puddle welding.
