10.Stop engine, and disconnect load bank cables.

11.Allow exhaust system to cool.

12.Inspect inside of exhaust pipe. If pipe is dry, the run-in procedure is complete. If pipe is coated with a wet, black, tar-like substance, repeat run- in procedure.

B.Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid (Dia- gram 8-2)

WARNING: Read and follow safety infor- mation at beginning of entire Section 8-12 before proceeding.

1.Stop engine.

2.Obtain resistance grid adequately sized for rated output of welding generator.

3.Obtain two weld cables of proper size to connect resistance grid to generator (see Section 4-7).

4.If a voltmeter and ammeter are not provided on the welding generator, obtain a voltmeter and clamp-on dc ammeter.

5.Place welding generator AMPERAGE & VOLT- AGE ADJUSTMENT control in the minimum po- sition.

6.Adjust grid switches and generator controls to provide a load approximately equal to rated gen- erator output.

For example, if rated generator output is 350 am- peres, 40 volts at 100% duty cycle, adjust switches until values indicated by meters equals rated generator output.

7.Connect one weld cable to grid input receptacle and remaining weld cable to grid output recep- tacle (see Diagram 8-2).

8.If a voltmeter and ammeter are provided on the welding generator, proceed to Step 9. If meters

are not provided, connect voltmeter and clamp- on dc ammeter as shown in Diagram 8-2.

9.Connect remaining ends of weld cables to gener- ator weld output terminals (polarity is not impor- tant).

10.Start engine as instructed in Section 7-6, and al- low engine to warm up for approximately three minutes.

CAUTION: ARCING can damage switch contacts.

•Do not change the position of the grid switches while engine is running.

Arcing causes the contacts to become pitted and eventually inoperative.

11.Check meters. Adjust load with generator con- trols or, if necessary, by changing positions of grid switches until values indicated by meters equal rated generator output.

12.Allow engine to run under load for at least one hour. Check engine and meters after the first five minutes and every 15 minutes thereafter to be sure equipment is operating properly

13.After running engine under load for at least one hour, remove load by shutting down resistance grid.

14.Allow engine to idle for approximately three min- utes to permit internal engine temperatures to equalize.

15.Stop engine, and disconnect weld cables.

16.Allow exhaust system to cool.

17.Inspect inside of exhaust pipe. If pipe is dry, the run-in procedure is complete. If pipe is coated with a wet, black, tar-like substance, repeat run- in procedure.
