2. Quote the Description, Item Number and Parts List Number of the desired part. When ordering parts for items
carrying brand names of other companies, such as fan motors, drive shafts, etc., be sure to include the other
company's name and part number and other relevant information.
3. Parts should be ordered from Lincoln, its offices or the nearest Authorised Field Service Shop. (The "Lincoln
Service Directory" listing these shops geographically is available on request.)
Note: "Hardware" in the Lincoln Parts Lists are not Lincoln stock items but can be obtained via the Field Service Shop
network.
Component parts of assemblies such as stator coils or armature coils, etc., which require electrical testing or locating
fixtures are not considered replaceable items. This is to ensure that the customer receives parts which will keep the
welder in the best operating condition.
