SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

•Have qualified personnel do all maintenance and troubleshooting work.

•Turn the engine off before working inside the machine or servicing the engine.

•Remove guards only when necessary to perform maintenance and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. If guards are missing from the machine, obtain replacements from a Lincoln Distributor. (See Operating Manual Parts List.)

Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this manual and in the Engine Owner’s Manual before working on this machine.

Keep all equipment safety guards, covers, and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing, and tools away from the gears, fans, and all other moving parts when starting, operating, or repairing the equipment.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

At the end of each day’s use, refill the fuel tank to minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system. Also, check the crankcase oil level and add oil if indicated.

Engine Oil Change

Drain the engine oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining. It is recommend- ed that each time the oil is changed the oil filter be changed as well.

•Be sure the unit is off. Disconnect the negative bat- tery cable to ensure safety.

•Locate oil drain hose and valve in bottom of base and pull through the hole in the battery access panel on the welder.

•Remove the cap from the drain valve. Push valve in and twist counterclockwise. Pull to open and drain the oil into a suitable container for disposal.

•Close the drain valve by pushing in and twisting clockwise. Replace the cap.

•Re-fill the crankcase to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil (see engine oper- ation manual OR engine service items decal OR below). Replace and tighten the oil filler cap secure- ly.

•Push oil drain hose and valve back into unit, re-con- nect negative battery cable, and close doors and engine top cover before restarting unit.Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used motor oil. Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for reclama- tion. DO NOT throw it in the trash; pour it on the ground or down a drain.

Use motor oil designed for diesel engines that meets requirements for API service classification CC/CD/CE/CF/CF-4/CG-4 or CH-4.

ACEA E1/E2/E3. Always check the API service label on the oil container to be sure it includes the letters indicated. (Note: An S-grade oil must not be used in a diesel engine or damage may result. It IS permissible to use an oil that meets S and C grade service classi- fications.)

SAE 10W30 is recommended for general, all tempera- ture use, 5F to 104F (-15C to 40C).

See engine owner’s manual for more specific informa- tion on oil viscosity recommendations.
