MAINTENANCE

D-5

FUEL FILTER

1. Check  the  fuel  filter  and  fuel  pre-filter  for  water

accumulation or sediment.

2. Replace the fuel filter if it is found with excessive

water accumulation or sediment. Empty fuel  pre-fil-

ter.

ENGINE ADJUSTMENT

Adjustments  to  the  engine  are  to  be  made  only  by  a

Service Center or an authorized Field Service Shop.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

To  access  the  battery,  remove  the  battery  tray  from

the  front  of  the  machine  with  3/8”  nut  driver  or  flat

head  screw  driver.  Pull  the  tray  out  of  machine  far

enough  to  disconnect  the  negative  and  then  positive

battery cables. The tray can then be tilted and lifted to

remove  the  entire  tray  and  battery  from  the  machine

for easy service.

GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.

Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes

away from battery.

To prevent EXPLOSION when:

INSTALLING A NEW BATTERY — disconnect

negative cable from old battery first and con-

nect 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 engine foot.

BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and skin.

Wear gloves and eye protection

and be careful when working near

battery.

Follow instructions printed on bat-

tery.

DX450  (RED-D-ARC) 

OVERSPEED  IS HAZARDOUS

The  maximum  allowable  high  idle  speed  for  this

machine  is  1850  RPM,  no  load.  Do  NOT  tamper

with governor components or setting or make any

other  adjustments   to  increase  t he  maximum

speed.  Severe  personal  injury  and  damage  to  the

machine  can  result  if  operated  at  speeds  above

maximum.

CLEANING THE BATTERY

Keep  the  battery  clean  by  wiping  it  with  a  damp  cloth

when  dirty.  If  the  terminals  appear  corroded,  discon-

nect the battery cables and wash the terminals with an

ammonia  solution  or  a  solution  of  1/4  pound  (0.1113

kg) of baking soda and 1 quart (0.9461L) of water. Be

sure  the  battery  vent  plugs  (if  equipped)  are  tight  so

that none of the solution enters the cells.

After cleaning, flush the outside of the battery, the bat-

tery  compartment,  and  surrounding  areas  with  clear

water. Coat the battery terminals lightly with petroleum

jelly or a non-conductive grease to retard corrosion.

Keep  the  battery  clean  and  dry.  Moisture  accumula-

tion  on  the  battery  can  lead  to  more  rapid  discharge

and early battery failure.

CHECKING THE ELECTROLYTE LEVEL

If battery cells are low, fill them to the neck of the filler

hole  with  distilled  water  and  recharge.  If  one  cell  is

low, check for leaks.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

When  you  charge,  jump,  replace,  or  otherwise  con-

nect battery cables to the battery, be sure the polarity

is correct. Improper polarity can damage the charging

circuit.  The  DX450  positive  (+)  battery  terminal  has  a

red terminal cover.

If  you  need  to  charge  the  battery  with  an  external

charger,  disconnect  the  negative  cable  first,  then  the

positive  cable  before  you  attach  the  charger  leads.

After  the  battery  is  charged,  reconnect  the  positive

battery  cable  first  and  the  negative  cable  last.  Failure

to  do  so  can  result  in  damage  to  the  internal  charger

components.

Follow  the  instructions  of  the  battery  charger  manu-

facturer for proper charger settings and charging time.
