BREAK-IN PERIOD

The engine used to supply power for your welder is a heavy duty, industrial engine. It is designed and built for rugged use. It is very normal for any engine to use small quantities of oil until the break-in is accom- plished. Check the oil level twice a day during the break-in period (about 200 running hours).

CAUTION

During break-in, subject the Commander 400 to heavy loads. Avoid long periods running at idle. Before stop- ping the engine, remove all loads and allow the engine to cool several minutes.

The heavy loading of the engine during break-in, with- in the rating of the machine, is recommended to prop- erly seat the piston rings and prevent wetstacking. Wetstacking is an accumulation of unburned fuel and/or lubricant in the form of a wet, black, tar-like sub- stance in the exhaust pipe. The rings are seated and the break-in period is complete when there are no longer any signs of wetstacking, which should occur within the first 50 to 100 hours of operation.

CAUTION

Using your welder at low amperages with long idle run- ning periods during the break-in period may result in a glaze forming on the engine cylinder walls and the rings not seating properly. No amount of loading will properly seat the piston rings after they are glazed over.
