SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases, it may be neces- sary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is com- plete. Always use the greatest care when work- ing near moving parts.
Do not put your hands near the engine cooling blower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected by following the instructions, take the machine to the nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.

•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.

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.
2.“Current Range Selector” contacts should not be greased. To keep the contacts clean, rotate the current control through its entire range frequently. Good practice is to turn the handle from maximum to minimum setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
3.Put a drop of oil on the “Current Range Selector” shaft at least once every month.
4.When necessary, remove the sediment bowl from beneath the gas tank and clean out any accumulat- ed dirt and water. Replace the fuel filter in the fuel line as needed.
5.See the engine manufacturers operation manual for detailed engine maintenance and troubleshoot- ing instructions.
COOLING SYSTEM
The Pipeliner 200D is equipped with a pressure radia- tor. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system periodi- cally to prevent clogging the passage and overheating the engine. When antifreeze is needed, always use the permanent type.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Engine’s operation and mainte- nance manual for additional information on the engine.
