Lincoln Electric 5000 manual Stopping the Engine, BREAK-IN Period, For a HOT Engine

B-6 OPERATION B-6

4.Pull the cord rapidly.

5.If the engine does not start, open the choke slightly (move lever toward the “RUN” position) and pull the starter cord rapidly again. When the engine starts, gradually open the choke to the “RUN” position.

FOR A “HOT” ENGINE:

1.Open the fuel shutoff valve on the bottom of the fuel tank by turning it full counterclockwise.

2.Place the choke lever in the “RUN”

position. Closing the choke of a hot engine will flood the carburetor and prevent starting.

3.Pull slightly on the recoil starter handle until resis- tance is felt.

4.Pull the cord rapidly.

FOR BEST ENGINE STARTING:

•Always use fresh gasoline and be sure the filter is clean and properly maintained.

•If you use an alternate fuel tank or supply, be sure to install an in-line fuel filter.

•Do not pull the recoil starter with the

choke in the choke position more than one time. Repeated pulls on a choked engine will flood the carburetor.

•If the engine will not start, see the TROU- BLESHOOTING section of this manual.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

1.Remove all welding and generator power loads and let the engine cool by running it for several minutes.

2.Stop the engine by pushing the On-Off Switch on the end of the engine to the “OFF” position.

3.Hold the lever down firmly until the engine com- pletely stops. Otherwise, the engine may restart or sputter as it stops.

4.Close the fuel shutoff valve at the bottom of the fuel tank by turning it full clockwise. For long peri- ods of storage, close the fuel shutoff valve and let the engine run until there is no more fuel in the line. Use a fuel additive such as Sta-Bil® to min- imize fuel gum deposits.

WARNING

Close the fuel valve when the machine is transported to prevent fuel leakage from the carburetor.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

The engine will use a greater amount of oil during its “break-in” period. The break-in is about 12 running hours.

Check the oil frequently during break-in. Change the oil after the first 5 hours of operation. For more details, see the MAINTENANCE section of this manu- al.

CAUTION

During break-in, subject the POWER ARC 5000 to only moderate loads. Avoid long periods running at idle. Before stopping the engine, remove all loads and allow the engine to cool several minutes.
