SAFETY  
ARC RAYS can burn.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits  
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.  
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare  
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free  
gloves to insulate hands.  
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover  
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and  
the rays of the arc when welding or observing  
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens  
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.  
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant  
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from  
the arc rays.  
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.  
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full  
area of physical contact with work and ground.  
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable  
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose  
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.  
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding  
must be performed under electrically hazardous  
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet  
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or  
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,  
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or  
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use  
the following equipment:  
FUMES AND GASES  
can be dangerous.  
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases  
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these  
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.  
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.  
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.  
fumes and gases.When welding, keep  
your head out of the fume. Use enough  
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep  
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,  
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic  
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.  
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When  
welding with electrodes which require special  
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see  
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or  
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings  
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as  
low as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)  
using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In  
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a  
respirator may be required. Additional precautions are  
also required when welding on galvanized steel.  
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical  
connection with the metal being welded. The connection  
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.  
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical  
(earth) ground.  
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and  
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace  
damaged insulation.  
5.b. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors  
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.  
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to  
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating  
products.  
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.  
3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of  
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage  
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage  
of both welders.  
5.c. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and  
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,  
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.  
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect  
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.  
5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this  
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the  
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your  
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from  
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

SAFETY  
WELDING SPARKS can  
cause fire or explosion.  
CYLINDER may explode  
if damaged.  
6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.  
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent  
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders  
containing the correct shielding gas for the  
the welding sparks from starting a fire.  
Remember that welding sparks and hot  
materials from welding can easily go through small cracks  
and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near  
hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.  
process used and properly operating  
regulators designed for the gas and  
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for  
the application and maintained in good condition.  
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely  
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.  
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,  
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous  
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI  
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the  
equipment being used.  
7.c. Cylinders should be located:  
Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to  
physical damage.  
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode  
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can  
cause overheating and create a fire hazard.  
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and  
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.  
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other  
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.  
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the  
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures  
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances  
inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have  
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended  
Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of  
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous  
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society  
(see address above).  
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet  
when opening the cylinder valve.  
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand  
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for  
use.  
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas  
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,  
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in  
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association  
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.  
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or  
welding. They may explode.  
6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil  
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,  
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear  
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.  
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a  
welding area.  
FOR ELECTRICALLY  
powered equipment.  
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding  
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building  
framework or other locations away from the welding area  
increase the possibility of the welding current passing  
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits.  
This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or  
cables until they fail.  
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect  
switch at the fuse box before working on  
the equipment.  
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s  
recommendations.  
6.h. Also see item 1.c.  
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National  
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

SAFETY  
zones où l’on pique le laitier.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ  
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de  
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.  
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions  
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce  
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-  
antes:  
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de  
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un  
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.  
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc  
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:  
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible de  
la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place la  
masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres endroits  
éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque de voir  
passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage,  
câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer des  
risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des  
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.  
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension  
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours  
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue  
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans  
trous pour isoler les mains.  
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on  
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher met-  
allique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans  
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande  
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.  
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble de  
soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état defonc-  
tionnement.  
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.  
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles  
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui  
produit des fumeés toxiques.  
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant  
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La  
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs  
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)  
ou autres produits irritants.  
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le  
refroidir.  
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension  
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud-  
er parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le  
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.  
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté, voir  
le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA Standard  
W 117.2-1974.  
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de  
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions  
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de  
soudage.  
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger  
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais  
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie  
du corps.  
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR  
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À  
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À  
REDRESSEUR  
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,  
donc:  
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié  
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-  
onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou  
quand on regarde l’arc.  
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la  
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de  
l‘arc.  
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de  
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif  
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une  
bonne mise à la terre.  
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront  
effectués par un électricien qualifié.  
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au  
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.  
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debranch-  
er à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.  
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de  
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres  
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-  
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.  
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur  
place.  
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de  
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

STACKING  
These machines cannot be stacked.  
ANGLE OF OPERATION  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
To achieve optimum engine performance the machine  
should be run in a level position. The maximum angle  
of operation for the Perkins engine is 30 degrees in all  
directions. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,  
provisions must be made for checking and maintaining  
the oil level at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the  
engine crankcase. When operating the welder at an  
angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less  
than the specified 22.5 gallons.

ENGINE OIL  
(1)  
The engine is shipped with the engine crankcase filled  
with high quality SAE 10W-30 oil (API class CD or bet-  
ter). Check the oil level before starting the engine. If it is  
not up to the full mark on the dip stick, add oil as required.  
Check the oil level every four hours of running time during  
the first 35 running hours. Refer to the engine Operator’s  
Manual for specific oil recommendations and break-in  
information. The oil change interval is dependent on the  
quality of the oil and the operating environment. Refer to  
the engine Operator’s Manual for the proper service and  
maintenance intervals.  
are also designed to be used at highway speeds .If  
the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume  
responsibility that the method of attachment and usage  
does not result in a safety hazard nor damage the  
welding equipment. Some of the factors to be consid-  
ered are as follows:  
1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln  
equipment and likely additional attachments.  
2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of  
the welding equipment so that there will be no  
undue stress to the trailer’s framework.  
FUEL USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY  
3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to  
insure stability side to side and front to back when  
being moved and when standing by itself.  
WARNING  
• Stop engine while fueling.  
• Do not smoke when fueling.  
• Keep sparks and flame away  
from tank.  
4. Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed,  
roughness of surface on which the trailer will be  
operated, and environmental conditions.  
• Do not leave unattended while  
fueling.  
5. Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.  
• Wipe up spilled fuel and allow  
fumes to clear before starting  
engine.

ENGINE BREAK-IN  
WARNING: Use caution as the electrolyte is a strong  
acid that can burn skin and damage eyes.  
Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty indus-  
trial engines for the portable welding machines we  
offer. While it is normal to see a small amount of  
crankcase oil consumption during initial operation,  
excessive oil use, wetstacking (oil or tar like substance  
at the exhaust port), or excessive smoke is not normal.  
Remove and discard the insulating caps from the neg-  
ative battery terminals. Attach and tighten negative  
battery cable terminals.  
NOTE: This machine is furnished with wet charged  
batteries; if unused for several months, the batteries  
may require a booster charge. Be careful to charge the  
batteries with the correct polarity. Make sure that the  
batteries are level while charging.  
Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes and  
higher, which are operated at low or no-load conditions  
for extended periods of time are especially susceptible  
to the conditions described above. To accomplish suc-  
cessful engine break-in, most diesel-powered equip-  
ment needs only to be run at a reasonably heavy load  
within the rating of the welder for some period of time  
during the engine’s early life. However, if the welder is  
subjected to extensive light loading, occasional moder-  
ate to heavy loading of the engine may sometimes be  
necessary. Caution must be observed in correctly  
loading a diesel/generator unit.  
WARNING  
GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.  
Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes  
away from battery.  
To prevent EXPLOSION when:  
1. Connect the welder output studs to a suit-  
able resistive load bank. Note that any  
attempt to short the output studs by con-  
necting the welding leads together, direct  
shorting of the output studs, or connecting  
the output leads to a length of steel will  
result in catastrophic damage to the gener-  
ator and voids the warranty.  
INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY — disconnect  
negative cable from old battery first and  
connect to new battery last.  
CONNECTING A BATTERY CHARGER —  
remove battery from welder by disconnecting  
negative cable first, then positive cable and  
battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect  
negative cable last. Keep well ventilated.  
USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to  
battery first then connect negative lead to neg-  
ative battery lead at the lower control panel  
support.  
2. Set the welder controls for an output cur-  
rent and voltage within the welder rating  
and duty cycle. Note that any attempt to  
exceed the welder rating or duty cycle for  
any period of time will result in catastrophic  
damage to the generator and voids the  
warranty.  
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and  
skin.  
Wear gloves and eye protection  
and be careful when working near  
battery.  
3. Periodically shut off the engine and check  
the crankcase oil level.  
Follow instructions printed on battery.  
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM  
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE  
WHEN:  
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with  
a 50-50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and  
water. Check the radiator level and add a 50-50 solu-  
tion as needed. (See Engine Manual or antifreeze  
container for alternate antifreeze recommendation.)  
a) Installing new batteries.  
b) Using a booster.  
Use correct polarity — Negative Ground.  
To prevent BATTERY BUCKLING, tighten nuts on bat-  
teries only until snug. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

or  
b) be double insulated.  
machines manufactured before this change do not  
qualify as spark arrestors and were shipped from the  
factory with an additional spark arresting unit for that  
purpose. Integral spark arresting mufflers will have a  
clean out service plug and will have “USDA FS 51001C  
QUALIFIED SPARK ARRESTOR” stamped on the  
muffler shell. Any spark arrestor must be serviced and  
properly maintained. For machines with separate spark  
arrestors, secure the arrestor to the outlet tube on the  
muffler using the clamp provided.  
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, its  
frame must be securely connected to the metal frame  
of the vehicle. When this engine driven welder is con-  
nected to premises wiring such as that in a home or  
shop, its frame must be connected to the system earth  
ground. See the article on grounding in the latest U.S.  
National Electrical Code and the local code.  
An incorrect spark arrester may lead to damage to  
the engine or adversely affect performance.  
In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should  
be connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid  
earth ground such as a metal water pipe going into the  
ground for at least ten feet and having no insulated  
joints, or to the metal framework of a building which  
has been effectively grounded. The U.S. National

Manually turn the air intake shut-off reset handle such  
that the handle is in-line with the air intake hoses.  
The air intake shut-off is located on the top of the  
engine between the muffler and air filter.  
When the electrode touches the work, the welding  
arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full  
speed.  
WARNING  
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is  
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle after  
approximately 10 to 14 seconds.  
Muffler and Engine may be hot!  
b. Auxiliary Power  
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary  
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately  
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles, the  
engine will accelerate to high speed. If no power is  
being drawn from the receptacles ( and not weld-  
ing) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces the engine  
speed to low idle.  
IMPORTANT: Before restarting engine, verify that the

5. If dialing the desired current with the Job  
Selectormoves the setting outside the black  
range causing undesirable arc characteristics, turn  
the Job Selectorback to the center of the black  
range. Then turn the Current Controlup or down  
a little as needed. Readjust the Job Selectorfor  
the exact characteristics and current desired.  
CONTROL OF WELDING CURRENT  
Purpose of Controls  
The continuous Current Controlis the main current  
adjuster. The Job Selectoris both a fine current  
adjuster and the continuous Open Circuit Voltage  
adjuster. Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) controls the arc  
characteristics.  
REMOTE CONTROL  
“Job Selector”  
A receptacle and Local/Remotecontrol switch on the  
lower front control panel and a remote control box with  
100 ft. (30.5 m) of cord for adjusting the OCV at the  
welding site are standard. Putting the switch in the  
REMOTEposition allows fine current control at the  
remote control box while placing the switch in the  
LOCALposition allows fine current control at the Job  
Selectoron the machine.  
The Job Selectordial is divided into four colored sec-  
tions providing OCV ranges as follows:  
Color  
White  
Black  
Red  
Title  
OCV Range  
High OCV  
Medium OCV  
Large Electrodes  
Normal Welding  
Overhead & Vertical Low OCV  
Grey  
Special Applications Extra-Low OCV  
AUXILIARY POWER CONTROLS  
The Job Selectoris usually set in the black range  
because it provides a soft Buttering arc desired for  
most welding. Some operators prefer to set the Job  
Selectorin the red range for a snappy Diggingarc  
when welding vertical up or overhead.  
Note: GFCI receptacles our an option and if installed,  
see the MAINTENANCE SECTIONfor detailed  
information on testing and resetting the GFCI  
receptacle.  
“Current Control”  
115 VAC Receptacle  
CAUTION  
One 20 amp, 115 VAC duplex receptacle provides 115  
VAC for auxiliary power. A total of 26 amps can be  
drawn from this receptacle.  
Do not adjust the Current Controlwhile welding  
because this can damage the control.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The Current Controldial is calibrated in amperes on  
three separate colored dials corresponding to the  
white, black and red ranges of the Job Selectordial.  
For example: when the Job Selectoris set on the  
black range, the approximate welding current is indi-  
cated on the black scale of the Current Controldial.  
230 VAC Receptacle  
One 15 amp, 230 VAC duplex receptacle provides 230  
VAC for auxiliary power. A total of 13 amps can be  
drawn from this receptacle.  
How to Set the Controls  
Circuit Breakers  
Assume you want a normal soft arc and about 135  
amps, using a 5/32(4.0 mm) electrode:  
The circuit breakers provide separate overload current  
protection for each half of the 115 V duplex receptacle.  
The circuit breakers provide overload current protec-  
tion in both current carrying wires of the 230 V duplex  
receptacle.

STARTING INSTRUCTIONS  
Be sure all Pre-Operation Maintenance has been per-  
formed. (See INSTALLATION section of this manual).  
To start the engine, place ignition toggle switch in the  
ONposition. Engage the starter button. When the  
engine starts running, observe the engine oil pressure.  
If no pressure shows within 30 seconds, stop the  
engine and consult the engine operating manual. To  
stop the engine, place the ignition toggle switch in the  
OFFposition.  
IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS  
BREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO  
HEAVY LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF THE  
MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLE RUNNING PERIODS.  
TYPICAL FUEL CONSUMPTION  
When an engine is started for the first time, some of  
the oil will be needed to fill the passages of the lubri-  
cating system. Therefore, on initial starting, run the  
engine for about five minutes and then stop the engine  
and recheck the oil. If the level is down, fill to the full  
mark again. The engine controls were properly set at  
the factory and should require no adjusting when  
received.  
The typical fuel consumption of the SAE-400 SEVERE  
DUTY for various operating scenarios is shown below:  
Low Idle - No Load

For added safety always operate the welder with the  
doors closed. Further, leaving the doors open changes  
the designed air flow and may cause engine or gener-  
ator overheating.

center for reclamation. Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on  
the ground or down a drain.  
service this equipment.  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
At the end of each days welding, refill the fuel tank to  
minimize moisture condensation in the tank. Also, run-  
ning out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.  
Check the engine crankcase oil level.  
ENGINE AIR FILTER  
If the fuel supply runs out while the fuel pump is oper-  
ating, air may be entrapped in the fuel distribution sys-  
tem. If this happens, bleeding of the fuel system may  
be necessary. See the engine instruction manual.  
The engine air filter element is a dry cartridge type. It  
is located above the engine. It can be cleaned and re-  
used; however, damaged elements should not be  
washed or re-used. Remove loose dirt from element  
with compressed air or water hose directed from inside  
out. Compressed Air: 100 psi maximum. The filter  
should never be removed while the engine is running.  
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
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 pres-  
sure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.  
2. The current control reactor brushes are self-lubricating  
and should not be greased. Keep the contacts clean. This  
control should be moved from maximum to minimum daily  
to prevent the controls from sticking.  
3. See the engine Instruction Manual for periodic engine  
maintenance information. Change the oil filter in accor-  
dance with the instructions in the engine operating man-  
ual. When the oil filter is changed add one quart of oil to  
the crankcase to replace the oil held in the filter during  
operation.

MAINTENANCE  
BEARING MAINTENANCE  
To seat the slip ring brushes, position the brushes in  
place. Then slide one end of a piece of fine sandpaper  
between slip rings and brushes with the coarse side  
against the brushes. Pull the sandpaper around the cir-  
cumference of the rings, in direction of rotation only -  
until brushes seat properly. In addition, stone slip ring  
with a fine stone. Brushes must be seated 100%.  
This welder is equipped with a double-shielded ball bearing  
having sufficient grease to last indefinitely under normal ser-  
vice. Where the welder is used constantly or in excessively  
dirty locations, it may be necessary to add one-half ounce of  
grease per year. A pad of grease one inch wide, one inch  
long and one inch high weighs approximately one-half  
ounce. Over greasing is far worse than insufficient greasing.  
Arcing or excessive exciter brush wear indicates a pos-  
sible misaligned shaft. Have an authorized Field  
Service Shop check and realign the shaft.  
When greasing the bearings, keep all dirt out of the area.  
Wipe the fittings completely clean and use clean equipment.  
More bearing failures are caused by dirt introduced during  
greasing than from insufficient grease.  
COOLING SYSTEM  
COMMUTATOR AND BRUSH MAINTENANCE  
The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY is equipped with a pres-  
sure radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent  
loss of coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system  
periodically to prevent clogging the passage and over-  
heating the engine. When antifreeze is needed, always  
use the permanent type.  
WARNING  
Uncovered rotating equipment can be dangerous.  
Use care so your hands, hair, clothing or tools do  
not catch in the rotating parts. Protect yourself  
from particles that may be thrown out by the rotat-  
ing armature when stoning the commutator.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The generator brushes are properly adjusted when the  
welder is shipped. They require no particular attention.  
DO NOT SHIFT THE BRUSHES or adjust the rocker  
setting.  
FUEL FILTERS  
WARNING  
When working on the fuel system  
Keep ungrounded lights away, do not  
smoke !  
Shifting of the brushes may result in:  
- Change in machine output  
- Commutator Damage  
Do not spill fuel !  
- Excessive brush wear  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY is equipped with a Fuel  
Pre-Filter/Water Separator Assembly located before  
the lift pump and a Secondary Fuel Filter located after  
the lift pump and before the fuel injectors. The Fuel  
Pre-Filter/Water Separator is mounted to the engine  
block just below the lift pump.  
Periodically inspect the commutator, slip rings and  
brushes by removing the covers. DO NOT remove or  
replace these covers while the machine is running.  
Commutators and slip rings require little attention.  
However, if they are black or appear uneven, have  
them cleaned by an experienced maintenance man  
using fine sandpaper or a commutator stone. Never  
use emery cloth or paper for this purpose.  
The Secondary Fuel Filter is mounted directly to the  
engine just above the oil filter.  
FUEL PRE-FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR ASSEMBLY  
NOTE: If the welder is used in dirty or dusty locations,  
or if the welder is not used for prolonged periods of  
time, it may be necessary to clean the commutator and  
slip rings more often.  
The pre-filter is a 150 micron screen designed to pro-  
tect against gross fuel contamination of the water sep-  
arator element and the Secondary Fuel Filter. If the  
pre-filter becomes plugged it may be removed, inspect-  
ed, cleaned and reinstalled. In general this only needs  
to be done with each water separator element change  
(about every 1,000 hrs.) However if at any time exces-  
sive fuel contamination is suspected or a sudden fall-  
off in engine performance is detected the pre-filter  
screen should be inspected and cleaned. Follow the  
following procedure:  
Replace brushes when they wear within 1/4" of the pig-  
tail. A complete set of replacement brushes should be  
kept on hand. Lincoln brushes have a curved face to fit  
the commutator. Have an experienced maintenance  
man seat these brushes by lightly stoning the commu-  
tator as the armature rotates at full speed until contact  
is made across the full face of the brushes. After ston-  
ing, blow out the dust with low pressure air.

MAINTENANCE  
1. Close the fuel shutoff valve located on the fuel  
strainer mounted to the under side of the fuel tank.  
3. Grasp the element and pull down with a slight rock-  
ing motion to remove the element from the grom-  
met post on the bottom of the filter header.  
2. Unscrew the cap ring located on the top of the filter  
header and remove the plastic center cap and O-  
ring.  
4. Slide the new element onto the grommet post on the  
bottom of the filter header until the element no longer  
easily moves up into the filter header. Now rotate the  
element (may take almost 1 full turn) with a slight  
upward pressure until the element begins to further  
engage the header. With the proper orientation now  
established apply additional pressure to seat the ele-  
ment in the filter header. You should feel the element  
popinto place when properly seated.  
3. Remove the large white volume plug located direct-  
ly under the center cap in the upper cavity of the fil-  
ter header. Use a small screwdriver (or similar  
device) to lift the plug part way out of the cavity to  
assist with its removal.  
Be careful not to damage the pre-filter screen with  
the tool used to remove the plug.  
Note: The element will only go on one way. Never use  
excessive force when mounting the element to the  
header.  
4. Using a pair of pliers, gently tug on the pull tabs of  
the pre-filter screen in an alternating pattern to  
gradually remove the pre-filter screen.  
5. Slide the quick change ring up over the element and  
rotate counter clockwise until an audible click or pop  
is heard. If you do not hear the click you have not rotat-  
ed the ring far enough and the element is not in the  
locked position. Another indication that the ring is in  
the locked position is that one set (it doesnt matter  
which one) of arrows located on the outside of the ring  
should be located directly under the air vent valve.  
5. Brush off any debris and rinse in diesel fuel.  
6. Re-install the pre-filter screen into the upper cavity  
of the filter header making sure the four pull tabs  
are pointing up. Putting your fingers on the pull  
tabs, push down evenly until the lower body of the  
pre-filter screen contacts the floor of the upper cav-  
ity.  
6. Open the fuel shutoff valve.  
7. Open the air vent valve on the front of the filter head-  
er until fuel emerges free of air bubbles and then close  
the air vent valve.  
7. Re-insert the large white volume plug into the upper  
cavity.  
Note : Consult your engine operation manual for infor-  
mation on air bleeding the entire fuel system.  
8. Place the O-ring onto the angled seal surface of the  
filter header and re-install the plastic cap. Make  
sure its flange rests on the O-ring.  
SECONDARY FUEL FILTER  
The Secondary Fuel Filter has a quick change element  
mounted to the engine similar to the Water Separator.  
Consult your engine operation manual for complete infor-  
mation on service intervals and element changing proce-  
dures.  
9. Screw on the cap ring and tighten hand tight.  
10. Remember to open the fuel shutoff valve before  
starting the engine.
