Welding Tips and Tricks

I am sorry if this is a dumb question. I just purchased a brand new trailblazer 325. Is there anything I need to do it before I start it for the first time?

Have you read the owner's manual for it? If I were you, I'd check to see if there was oil in the crankcase and fuel in the fuel tank. Oh and welcome. I'd have read that manual top-to-bottom 2x it I had that brand new machine that I was unfamiliar with. Just saying.

I'd have to agree with Oscar. Read the manual, look at all the pictures and familiarize yourself with the "parts" of the machine you will be dealing with on a regular basis. don't mean to sound like a dipass, but for crying out loud, check the fluid levels before touching the key. Had a guy get a "new" position and messed up somehow by putting fuel in the radiator...I think old ginger was having an agent orange attack. I don't think I need to go further on that one.
