OPERATION

B-2

PIPELINER 200G

Cranking System

A 12V electric starter is standard.

Air Cleaner

Heavy duty two-stage dry type

Exhaust

A muffler and stainless steel exhaust outlet pipe are
standard.

Engine Hour Meter

A meter to record the hours of operation.

High Idle RPM (OCV) Adjustment- A  potentiometer
is mounted on the output rail that allows the operator
to adjust the high idle engine speed between 1500
and 1600 RPM in 20 RPM increments. This is to allow
further adjustment of the OCV. Total OCV adjustment
range is about 10 Volts.

ENGINE OPERATION

STARTING THE GM 3.0L ENGINE

•  Turn the Idler control switch to “HIGH”. (Optional)

•  Turn the Ignition switch to “ON”.

•  Press the “Start” button.

•  If the engine fails to start in 20 seconds, wait 30

seconds before repeating the above procedure.

•  Allow the engine to run at high idle speed for sever-

al minutes to warm up. If idle control switch is left in
“Auto” position , engine will run at 1600 RPM until
engine coolant temperature reaches 130°F.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

• Turn the Ignition switch to “OFF”.

At the end of each day’s 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.

When hauling the welder between job sites,  close the
fuel feed valve beneath the fuel tank. Refer to engine
“Operation and Maintenance manual” for additional
information on the engine supplied with this welder.

WELDER OPERATION

DUTY CYCLE

The NEMA output rating of the Pipeliner 200G is 200
amperes at 28

(1)

arc volts on a 60% duty cycle. Duty

cycle is based on a ten minute period; thus, the
welder can be loaded at rated output for six minutes
out of every ten minute period.

(1)

The Lincoln “plus output” rating at 60% duty cycle
is 200 amperes at 40 Volts.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•  Do not touch electrically live parts or

electrode with skin or wet clothing.

•  Insulate yourself from work and ground.

FUMES & GASES can be dangerous.
•   Keep your head out of the fumes.
•   Use ventilation or exhaust to remove 

fumes from breathing zone.

WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or
explosion.
•   Keep flammable material away.

ARC RAYS can burn.
•   Wear eye, ear, and body protection.
