Tightening the Fan Belt
If the fan belt is loose, the engine can overheat and the
battery lose its charge. Check tightness by pressing on
the belt midway between the pulleys. It should deflect
about 6.4mm under a load of 9 Kg.
Fuel
DIESEL FUEL ONLY- Ultra low sulphur fuel in U.S.A.
and Canada.
Low sulfur fuel (up to 500ppm) and fuel as high as
5000ppm insulfur content maybe used outside of U.S.A.
and Canada, but the oil change interval goes to every
100 hrs.
At the end of each day's use, refill the fuel tank to
minimize moisture condensation and dirt contamination
in the fuel line. Do not overfill; leave room for the fuel to
expand.
Use only fresh No. 2D diesel fuel, the use of No. 1D
diesel fuel is recommended in place of No. 2D at
temperatures below -5°C. Do not use kerosene.
See the Engine Operator's Manual for instructions on
replacing the fuel filter.
Bleeding the Fuel System
You may need to bleed air from the fuel system if the
fuel filter or fuel lines have been detached, the fuel tank
has been ran empty or after periods of long storage. It is
recommended that the fuel shutoff valve be closed
during periods of non-use.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, do not bleed a hot engine. This
could cause fuel to spill onto a hot exhaust manifold,
creating a danger of fire.
Bleed the fuel system as follows:
1.
Fill the fuel tank with fuel.
2.
Open the fuel shut off valve.
3.
Open bleed fitting on fuel sedimenter, the
sedimenter should gravity fill itself with fuel.
4.
Tighten the bleed fitting on fuel sedimenter after
sedimenter fills with fuel.
5.
Loosen bleed fitting on the fuel injector manifold.
6.
Operate hand priming lever until fuel comes out the
bleed screw on the injector manifold. This could
take 20-30 seconds of rapid operation of the priming
lever. Tighten bleed fitting on injector manifold.
7.
Follow normal STARTING procedures until engine
starts.
Draining the Fuel Tank
The fuel tank is equipped with a drain valve and hose for
easy draining when required. This is located in close
proximity to fuel sedimenter.
IMPORTANT! Every 100 hours, check the following
for thermal and/or vibration induced damage:
Fuel hoses & connections
Coolant hoses & connections
Fuel Filter
1.
Check the fuel filter and fuel pre-filter for water
accumulation or sediment.
English
2.
Replace the fuel filter if it is found with excessive
water accumulation or sediment. Empty fuel pre-
filter.
Engine Adjustment
OVERSPEED
IS
HAZARDOUS.
allowable high idle speed for this machine is 1890 RPM,
no load. Do NOT tamper with governor components or
setting or make any other adjustments to increase the
maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to
the machine can result if operated at speeds above
maximum.
Adjustments to the engine are to be made only by a
Lincoln Service Center or an authorized Field Service
Shop.
Battery Maintenance
To access the battery, remove the battery tray from the
front of the machine with 3/8" nut driver or flat head
screw driver. Pull the tray out of machine far enough to
disconnect the negative and then positive
batterycables.The tray can then be tilted and lifted to
remove the entire tray and battery from the machine for
easy service.
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes away
from battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY – disconnect
negative cable from old battery first and connect to
new battery last.
CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - remove
battery from welder by disconnecting negative cable
first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When
reinstalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well
ventilated.
USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to
battery first then connect negative lead to negative
battery lead at engine foot.
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and
skin- wear gloves and eye protection
and be careful when working near
battery.
Follow instructions printed on battery.
Cleaning the Battery
Keep the battery clean by wiping it with a damp cloth
when dirty. If the terminals appear corroded, disconnect
the battery cables and wash the terminals with an
ammonia solution or a solution of 0.1113 kg of baking
soda and 0.9461L of water. Be sure the battery vent
plugs (if equipped) are tight so that none of the solution
enters the cells.
After cleaning, flush the outside of the battery, the
battery compartment, and surrounding areas with clear
water. Coat the battery terminals lightly with petroleum
jelly or a non-conductive grease to retard corrosion.
Keep the battery clean and dry. Moisture accumulation
on the battery can lead to more rapid discharge and
early battery failure.
Checking the Electrolyte Level
If battery cells are low, fill them to the neck of the filler
