STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Remove all welding and generator power loads and let the engine cool by running it for several minutes at low idle.

2.Place the IGNITION switch in the OFF position.

When an engine is started for the first time, some of the oil will be needed to fill the passages of the lubricating system. Therefore, on initial starting, run the engine for about five minutes and then stop the engine and recheck the oil. If the level is down, fill to the full mark again.

The engine controls were properly set at the factory and should require no adjusting when received.

At the end of each day’s welding, drain accumulated dirt and water from the sediment bowl under the fuel tank and from the fuel filter per instructions in the engine manufacturer’s operating manual. Refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Also, running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system. Check the crankcase oil level.

In diesel engines, 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. If this happens, bleed- ing of the fuel system should not be required, since the Deutz F3L-1011F engine is equipped with a self-prim- ing feature.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

Follow the instructions on the nameplate and in the engine manual shipped with the welder. With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even when the air tempera- ture is down to about 0oF.

If the engine is frequently started below 10oF, you may want to install the optional ether starter kit. Installation and operating instructions are included in the kit. Use ether starting only when required because excessive use shortens engine life.

It is important to follow the engine manufacturer’s rec- ommendations for oil and fuel to obtain satisfactory cold weather performance. Consult the engine manu- al and the Maintenance section of this manual.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Any engine will use a small amount of oil during its break-in period. For the diesel engine on the Classic II, break-in is about 200 running hours.

Check the oil twice a day during break-in. Change the oil and oil filter cartridge after the first 50 hours of oper- ation. Also change the fuel filter cartridge. For more details, see the Maintenance section of this manual.

During break-in, subject the Classic II to only moderate loads. Avoid long periods running at idle. Before stop- ping the engine, remove all loads and allow the engine to cool several minutes.
