• Have qualified personnel do all maintenance

Keep all equipment safety guards, covers, and

and troubleshooting work.

 

 

devices in position and in good repair. Keep

• Turn the engine off before working inside the

hands, hair, clothing, and tools away from the

machine or servicing the engine.

 

 

starting, operating, or repairing the equipment.

 

•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.)

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.
