Lifting
The machine weighs approximately 374 kg. (824 lbs)
with a full tank of fuel. A lift bail is mounted to the
machine and should always be used when lifting the
machine.
WARNING
Falling equipment can cause injury.
Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
Do not lift this machine using lift bail if it is equipped
with a heavy accessory such as trailer or gas
cylinder.
Do not lift machine if lift bail is damaged.
Do not operate machine while suspended from lift
bail.
High Altitude Operation
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, derate the machine 2.5% to 3.5%
for every 305m (1000ft.). Due to new EPA and other
local emissions regulations, modifications to the engine
for high altitude are restricted within the United States
and some European Countries. Use above 1828m
(6000 ft.) may be limited due to poor engine
performance or excessive exhaust smoke. An
authorized Kubota engine field service shop should be
contacted to deter-mine if any adjustments can be made
for operation in higher elevations locally.
High Temperature Operation
At temperatures above 40°C,welder output derating is
necessary. For maximum output ratings, derate the
welder output 2 volts for every 10°C above 40°C
Cold Weather Starting
With a fully charged battery and the proper oil, the
engine should start satisfactorily down to about -15°C. If
the engine must be frequently started at or below -5°C, it
may be desirable to install cold starting aides. The use
of No. 1D diesel fuel is recommended in place of No. 2D
at temperatures below -5°C. Allow the engine to warm
up before applying a load or switching to high idle.
WARNING
NOTE: Extreme cold weather starting may require
longer glow plug operation. Under no conditions should
ether or other starting fluids be used!
Towing
Check with distributor for the recommended trailer for
use with this equipment for road, in-plant and yard
towing by a vehicle. 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 considered are as follows:
Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln
equipment and likely additional attachments.
Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of
the welding equipment so there will be no undue
stress to the framework.
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 while
being operated or serviced.
Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed;
roughness of surface on which the trailer will be
operated; environmental conditions; like
maintenance.
Conformance with laws in nation / region to be
used.
Vehicle Mounting
WARNING
Improperly mounted concentrated loads may cause
unstable vehicle handling and tires or other components
to fail.
Only transport this Equipment on serviceable
vehicles 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
components such as suspension, axles and tires.
Mount equipment base to metal bed or frame of
vehicle.
Follow vehicle manufacturer
ʼ
s instructions.
Pre-Operation Engine Service
Read the engine operating and maintenance instructions
supplied with this machine.
WARNING
Stop engine and allow to cool before fueling.
Do not smoke when fueling.
Fill fuel tank at a moderate rate and do not overfill.
Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to clear before
starting engine.
Keep sparks and flame away from tank.
Oil
The machine is shipped with the engine crankcase filled
with high quality SAE 10W-30 Oil that meets
classification CG-4 or CH-4 for diesel engines. 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 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 more details on the
proper service and maintenance intervals.
Fuel
Use Diesel fuel only.
WARNING
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh fuel. The capacity of
the tank is about 45 l.
WARNING
NOTE: A fuel shut off valve is located on the
prefilter/sediment filter. Which should be in the closed
position when the welder is not operated for extended
periods of time.
