Default Home electrical help (welder)

Calling all electricans, EE, people with 220 welders, or whoever wants to give their input. I just bought a lincoln 175 welder, It runs off of 220. Well here is my question the plug in the garage is 220/30amp, but the lincoln recommends that I have 40amp breaker. Is this just a "recommendation" from lincoln or is it manditory that I have a 40amp?
