325X
®
FIGURE B.1 Engine Service Side View
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
The Maverick
®
325X provides excellent constant current DC
welding output for stick (SMAW) and TIG welding. The
Maverick
325X also provides excellent constant voltage DC
®
welding output for MIG (GMAW), Innershield (FCAW), Outershield
(FCAW-G) and Metal Core welding. In addition the Maverick
325X can be used for Arc Gouging with carbons up to 3/8"
(10mm) in diameter.
The Maverick
325X is not recommended for pipe thawing.
®
GENERATOR
The Maverick
325X provides smooth 120 VAC single phase
®
and 240 VAC single phase, 60Hz output for auxiliary power and
emergency standby power.
AUTO-START INSTRUCTION
1.
To make Auto Start active, press home button for the main
menu. Rotate knob to select "Setup" icon and press knob.
2.
Auto-Start On/Off: Determines On/Off states for Auto-start
feature.
a.
Rotate knob to select "Auto-Start On/Off" and press
knob to confirm.
b.
Rotate knob to select "On" or "Off" and press knob to
confirm.
3.
Auto-Start No Load Period: Determines when no load is on,
how long the welder will be on before auto shutdown. This
period will be reset to the setting value when load appears.
a.
Rotate knob to select "Auto-Start No Load Period" and
press knob to confirm.
b.
Rotate knob to change the period from 15 min to 120
min and press knob to confirm.
4.
Tap-Start Active Period: Determines how long tap start will
be active.
a.
Rotate knob to select "Tap-Start Active Period" and
press knob to confirm.
b.
Rotate knob to change the period from 15 min to 120
min and press knob to confirm.
5.
Press home button to go to the main menu. Select welding
mode. Confirm Auto Start settings on the display.
6. When Auto-Start feature is turned "ON" and a remote is
plugged in the engine can be remotely turned off by
completing the following pattern on the remote knob:
1) Remote Knob to Min.
2) Remote knob to Max.
3) Remote Knob to Middle.
4) Remote knob to Max.
5) Remote knob to Min.
Each step should be completed within 3 seconds.
7. Auto start does not work when small loads such as across the
arc wire feeders are connected. In this case turn Auto Start
off.
8. To restart engine, firmly tap and hold electrode to work for 0.1
to 1 sec. Ensure there is direct contact between metal part of
the electrode and work.
9. Pull electrode away from work and wait a few seconds for
engine to come up to speed.
NOTE: Small loads across the output terminals such as an across
the arc wire feeder may cause the auto start count to restart
without shutting down the engine. Remove any such small
loads. Or turn Auto start off.

BREAK-IN PERIOD
Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty industrial engines
for the portable welding machines we offer. While it is normal to
see a small amount of crankcase oil consumption during initial
operation, excessive oil use, wetstacking (oil or tar like substance
at the exhaust port), or excessive smoke is not normal.
Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes and higher,
which are operated at low or no-load conditions for extended
periods of time are especially susceptible to the conditions
described above. To accomplish successful engine break-in, most
diesel-powered equipment needs only to be run at a reasonably
heavy load within the rating of the welder for some period of time
during the engine's early life. However, if the welder is subjected
to extensive light loading, occasional moderate to heavy loading of
the engine may sometimes be necessary. Caution must be
observed in correctly loading a diesel/generator unit.
1. Connect the welder output studs to a suitable resistive load bank.
Note that any attempt to short the output studs by connecting the
welding leads together, direct shorting of the output studs, or
connecting the output leads to a length of steel will result in
catastrophic damage to the generator and voids the warranty.
2. Set the welder controls for an output current and voltage within
the welder rating and duty cycle. Note that any attempt to
exceed the welder rating or duty cycle for any period of time will
result in catastrophic damage to the generator and voids the
warranty.
3. Periodically shut off the engine and check the crankcase oil level.
During break-in, subject the Welder to moderate loads.
Avoid long periods running at idle. Before stopping the
engine, remove all loads and allow the engine to cool
several minutes.
