ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE ENGINE

1.Open the engine compartment door and check that the fuel shutoff valve located to the left of the fuel filter housing is in the open position (lever to be in line with the hose).

2.Make sure battery disconnect switch is in the on position.

3.Check for proper oil level and coolant level. Close engine compartment door.

4.Remove all plugs connected to the AC power receptacles.

5.Set IDLER switch to “AUTO”.

6.Set the RUN/STOP switch to “RUN”. Observe that the engine protection and battery charging lights are on. After 10 seconds, the engine protection light will turn off.

7.Within 30 seconds, press and hold the engine START button until the engine starts.

8.Release the engine START button when the engine starts.

9.Check that the engine protection and battery charg- ing lights are off. The engine protection light is on after starting, the engine will shutdown in a few sec- onds. Investigate any indicated problem.

10.Allow the engine to warm up at low idle speed for several minutes before applying a load and/or switching to high idle. Allow a longer warm up time in cold weather.

COLD WEATHER STARTING

With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil, the engine should start satisfactorily even down to about 0°F(-18°C). If the engine must be frequently started below 10°(-12°C), it may be desirable to install the optional ether start kit (K887-1). For extreme cold conditions it may be desirable to install the Cold Weather Heater and Tarp Kit (K2359-1). Installation and operating instructions are included in the kits.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Switch the RUN/STOP switch to “STOP”. This turns off the voltage supplied to the shutdown solenoid. A backup shutdown can be accomplished by shutting off the fuel valve located on the fuel line.

bREAK-IN PERIOD

The engine used to supply power for your welder is a heavy duty, industrial engine. It is designed and built for rugged use. It is very normal for any engine to use small quantities of oil until the break-in is accom- plished. Check the oil level twice a day during the break-in period. In general this takes 50 to 100 hours of operation.

IMPORTANT

IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS bREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD bE SUbJECTED TO HEAVY LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF THE MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLE RUNNING PERIODS.
