10-3. Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid
|
| Y | Stop engine. |
|
| Y Do not touch hot exhaust | |
|
|
| pipe, engine parts, or load |
|
|
| bank/grid. |
6 |
| Y Keep exhaust and pipe away | |
|
| from flammables. | |
|
|
| |
| 2 | Y Do not perform | |
|
| procedure at less than 20 | |
|
|
| volts weld output and do not |
|
|
| exceed duty cycle or equip- |
|
|
| ment damage may occur. |
|
| 1 | Resistance Grid |
|
| Use grid sized for generator rated | |
|
| output. | |
| 1 | Turn Off grid. | |
|
| 2 | Welding Generator |
|
| Place A/V range switch in maxi- | |
|
| mum position, A/V control in mini- | |
|
| mum position, and Output Selector | |
|
| switch (if present) in either DC | |
|
| position. | |
|
| 3 | Weld Cables |
|
| Connect grid to generator weld | |
|
| output terminals using proper size | |
|
| weld cables with correct connec- | |
|
| tors (polarity is not important). | |
|
| 4 | Voltmeter |
|
| 5 | |
|
| Connect voltmeter and ammeter as | |
| 5 | shown, if not provided on generator. | |
3 | Start engine and run for several | ||
|
| minutes. |
Set grid switches and then adjust generator A/V control so load equals rated voltage and current of the generator (see nameplate, rat-
4ing label, or the specifications sec- tion in this manual).
Check generator and meters after first five minutes then every fifteen
+minutes to be sure generator is loaded properly.
. Check oil level frequently dur- ing
After one hour (minimum), place A/V control in minimum position, then shut down grid to remove load. Run engine several minutes at no load.
Y Stop engine and let cool.
6 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Repeat procedure if wetstacking is present.
