OVERSPEED IS HAZARDOUS
WARNING
The maximum allowable high idle speed for this machine is 3750 RPM, no load. Do NOT tamper with governor components or setting or make any other adjustments to increase the maximum speed. Severe personal injury and damage to the machine can result if operated at speeds above maximum.
Adjustments to the engine are to be made only by a Lincoln Service Center or an authorized Field Service Shop.

A slight amount of darkening and wear of the slip rings and brushes is normal. Brushes should be inspected when a general overhaul is necessary. If brushes are to be replaced, clean slip rings with a fine emery paper.

To prevent EXPLOSION when:
•INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY - disconnect negative cable from old battery first and connect to new battery last.
• CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER - Remove bat- tery from welder by disconnecting negative cable first, then positive cable and battery clamp. When rein- stalling, connect negative cable last. Keep well venti- lated.
•USING A BOOSTER - connect positive lead to battery first then connect negative lead to engine foot.

1.When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting the battery to the battery cables, the proper polarity must be observed. Failure to observe the proper polarity could result in damage to the charging circuit. The positive (+) battery cable has a red terminal cover.
2.If the battery requires charging from an external charger, disconnect the negative battery cable first and then the positive battery cable before attaching the charger leads. Failure to do so can result in damage to the internal charger components. When reconnecting the cables, connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.
