SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases, it may be neces- sary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is com- plete. Always use the greatest care when work- ing near moving parts.
Do not put your hands near the engine cooling blower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected by following the instructions, take the machine to the nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with skin or wet clothing.
•Insulate yourself from work and ground
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
•Use in open, well ventilated areas or
vent exhaust outside.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
•Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
•Keep away from moving parts.
See additional warning information at the front of this operator’s manual.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1.Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at least once every two months. In particularly dirty locations, this cleaning may be necessary once a week. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.
2.”Current Range Selector” contacts should not be greased. To keep the contacts clean, rotate the current control through its entire range frequently. Good practice is to turn the handle from maximum to minimum setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
3.Change the crankcase oil and oil filter after the first 50 hours of operation and thereafter at 750 hour intervals using the proper grade of oil. See recom- mendations in the engine Operation Manual. Order Deutz oil filter
4.Inspect the air filter daily - more often in dusty condi- tions. When necessary, clean or replace. The filter should never be removed while the engine is running. The air filter element part number is Donaldson #181050 or Nelson #70206N.
5.Drain any accumulated water from the engine fuel fil- ter/water separator daily. Change the filter every 1000 hours of operation. Order Deutz fuel filter
6.Fan belts tend to loosen after the first 50 hours of operation. Check engine Operation Manual and tighten if necessary. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
7.Put a drop of oil on the “Current Range Selector” shaft at least once every month.
8.See the engine manufacturer’s Operation Manual for detailed engine maintenance and troubleshooting instructions.
COOLING SYSTEM
The Classic II is equipped with an air cooled Deutz engine. Clean the engine cooling system periodically to prevent clogging the air passages on the cylinder heads and oil cooler and overheating the engine. Consult the Engine Operation Manual. It is important that the welder is located in a manner which will provide an unre- stricted flow of clean, cool air.
BEARINGS
This welder is equipped with a
When greasing the bearings, keep all dirt out of the area. Wipe the fittings completely clean and use clean equip- ment. More bearing failures are caused by dirt introduced during greasing than from insufficient grease.
