WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow and may cause overheating. The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict- ed flow of clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
“Negative” stud. These connections should be checked periodically and tightened if necessary. When welding at a considerable distance from the welder, be sure you use ample size welding cables. RECOMMENDED COPPER CABLE SIZES Amps Duty Cycle...
This oil should be acceptable for most typical ambient temperatures. Consult the engine operation manual for specific engine manufacturers recommendations. Upon receipt of the welder, check the engine dipstick to be sure the oil is at the “full” mark. Add if required. DO NOT OVERFILL.
DESIGN SUMMARY Control Panel Both the engine and the welder controls are located on one recessed panel at the exciter end of the machine. The welder controls consist of a five step “Current Range Selector” switch and a “Fine Current Adjustment”...
Also, running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system. When hauling the welder between job sites, close the fuel feed valve beneath the fuel tank. If the fuel supply is cut off or runs out while the fuel pump is operating, air may be entrapped in the fuel distribution system.
ENGINE BREAK-IN Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty indus- trial 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 sub- stance at the exhaust port), or excessive smoke is not normal.
See Specifications for operating speeds. The idler is controlled by the “Idler” toggle switch on the welder control panel. The switch has two posi- tions as follows: 1. In the “High” position, the idler solenoid acti- vates, and the engine goes to high idle speed.

----------------------------------------------------------- GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 1. Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at least once every two months. In particularly dirty locations, this cleaning may be necessary once a week. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.
3. Idler solenoid is activated for high idle. 4. If desired, the welder can be used without automat- ic idling by setting the “Idler” switch to the “High” position. NAMEPLATES...
