HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, derate the welder output in
accordance with the following guidelines for this
engine model from the manufacturer:
TOWING
The recommended trailers for use with this equipment
for in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle
(1)
are Lincoln’s
K2641-1 (4) wheel steerable trailer and K2637-1 (2)
wheel trailer. 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 haz-
ard nor damage the welding equipment. Some of the
factors to be considered 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.
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.
4. Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed,
roughness of surface on which the trailer will be
operated, and environmental conditions.
5. Proper preventative maintenance of trailer.
6. Conformance with federal, state and local laws.
VEHICLE MOUNTING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause
unstable vehicle handling and tires or other compo-
nents to fail.
• Only transport this equipment on serviceable vehi-
cles which are rated and designed for such loads.
• Distribute, balance and secure loads so vehicle is
stable under conditions of use.
• Do not exceed maximum rated loads for compo-
nents such as suspension, axles and tires.
• Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of
vehicle.
• Follow vehicle manufacturer’s instruction.

The engine is shipped with the engine crankcase filled
with high quality SAE 10W-40 FE oil (API class CD or
better). 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 50 running hours. Refer to the
engine Operator’s Manual for specific oil recommenda-
tions 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.
FUEL USE DIESEL FUEL ONLY
Low Sulphur fuel or ultra low sulphur fuel in USA and
CANADA only.
• Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel.
The capacity of the fuel tank is approximately
29 Gal. (109.8 liters)
. See engine Operator’s
Manual for specific fuel recommendations.
Running out of fuel may require bleeding the
fuel injection pump. NOTE: Before starting the
engine, open the fuel shutoff valve (pointer to be
in line with hose).
