Welding Operation, Break-in Period | Lincoln Electric IM530-C

OPERATION

Break-in Period

It is normal for any engine to use larger quantities of oil until break-in is accomplished. Check the oil level twice a day during the break-in period (about 50 running hours). Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. See the Engine Instruction Manual for further details.

CAUTION

IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO MODERATE LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF THE MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLE RUNNING PERIODS. REMOVE LOADS AND ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL SEVERAL MINUTES AT LOW IDLE BEFORE SHUTDOWN.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Low Oil Sensing

This engine has a built in sensor which responds to low oil level (not pressure). When activated, the system will shut the engine down. The engine will not restart until sufficient oil is added. Check oil level frequently and add oil as required to the full mark on the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

WELDING OPERATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.

•Insulate yourself from work and ground.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.

ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.

• Do not stack anything on or near the engine.

MOVING PARTS can injure.

•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.

• Stop engine before servicing.

•Keep away from moving parts.

Only qualified personnel should install, use, or service this equipment.

The Weldanpower 125 can deliver from 50 to 125 amps of welding output current . Output can be adjusted by setting the current control dial on the output control panel.

You can get maximum welding output by setting the dial to 125 AMPS. At high current settings like this, some output may decrease as the machine is used. If you are welding for a long time, you may need to turn the dial slightly upward to maintain the same results.

The numbers on the dial correspond to the approximate amps needed to weld using specific Lincoln welding rods. Table B.2, WELDING APPLICATIONS, or the electrode selection guide on the machine output panel give you the recommended dial settings based on the thickness of the work and the size and type of rod you’re using.

TO USE THE WELDANPOWER 125 FOR WELDING:

1.Remove the flange nuts from the weld output terminals and place the work and electrode welding cables over the terminals. See Figure B.1 and B.1a. Replace and tighten the flange nuts securely. Be sure the connections are tight.
