Personal injury or death can result from fumes, gases and ultraviolet rays from the weld arc. Welding can cause fumes, burn skin and produce ultraviolet rays. Keep your head out of the fumes. Use ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing area. Wear eye, ear and body protection before working. Protect yourself and others; read and understand this warning. Fumes and gases can be dangerous to your health. Ultraviolet rays from the weld arc can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric shock can cause death. Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions and your employer's safety practices. Do not touch live electrical parts.

- Remove the step from the machine by removing six bolts.
- Prepare the inside surface of the step by grinding the area of the weld.
- Locate the fabricated plate to the step and tack weld the plate to the step.
- Weld the plate to the step by using a 6 mm (0.24 inch) fillet weld around the outside edge of the plate.
