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.  
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.  
5.e. Also see item 1.b.

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  
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 LArc  
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.  
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:  
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.  
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.  
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la peau  
de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de l‘arc.  
c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au  
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.  
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront  
effectués par un électricien qualifié.  
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  
zones où l’on pique le laitier.

STACKING  
SAE400 WELD’N AIR machines cannot be stacked.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
WARNING  
ANGLE OF OPERATION  
To achieve optimum engine performance the SAE400  
WELD’N AIR should be run in a level position. The  
maximum angle of operation for the air compressor is  
20 degrees in all directions. If the compressor 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 compressor crankcase. The  
maximum angle of operation for the Perkins engine is  
45 degrees in all directions. If the engine is to be oper-  
ated at an angle, provisions must be made for check-  
ing 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.  
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have  
thoroughly read all operating and maintenance man-  
uals supplied with your machine. They include impor-  
tant safety precautions, detailed engine starting,  
operating and maintenance instructions and parts  
lists.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
•Do not touch electrically live parts such  
as output terminals or internal wiring.  
•Insulate yourself from the work and  
ground.  
LIFTING  
•Always wear dry insulating gloves.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The SAE400 WELD’N AIR lift bale should be used to

INSTALLATION  
HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION  
ENGINE OIL  
The WELD’N AIR is shipped with the engine crankcase  
filled with high quality SAE 10W-30 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 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 ser-  
vice and maintenance intervals.  
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.  
As a rule of thumb, derate the welder output 5% for  
every 500 meters (1640 ft.) above 1000 meters (3280  
ft.).  
Contact a Perkins Service Representative for any  
engine adjustments that may be required for high alti-  
tude operation.  
TOWING  
AIR COMPRESSOR OIL  
The recommended trailers for use with this equipment  
for in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) are Lincoln’s  
K767-1, K956-1 and K956-2. The K956-1 and K956-2  
are also designed to be used at highway speeds(1).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:  
The WELD’N AIR is shipped with the compressor filled  
with a high quality synthetic compressor oil. If oil is  
needed add only Iowa Mold Tooling Co., Inc. (IMT) syn-  
thetic compressor oil until compressor is full.  
CAUTION  
The use of any other oil causes excessive carbon build  
up, and will void the warranty on the compressor.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Check the oil level daily. Refer to the compressor  
Operator’s Manual for the proper service and mainte-  
nance intervals.  
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 and allow to cool before  
fueling.  
•Do not smoke when fueling.  
•Fill fuel tank at a moderate rate and do  
not overfill.  
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.  
•Wipe up spilled fuel and allow fumes to  
clear before starting engine.  
•Keep sparks and flame away from  
tank.  
6. Conformance with federal, state and local laws.1  
(1) For highway use, consult applicable federal, state  
and local laws regarding specific requirements for  
use on public highways, such as brakes, lights, fend-  
ers, etc.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
Fill the fuel tank with clean, fresh diesel fuel. The capac-  
ity of the fuel tank is 22.5 gallons (85.1 liters). See engine  
Operator’s Manual for specific fuel recommendations.  
NOTE: Before starting the engine, be sure the fuel shut-  
off valve on the sediment bowl is open by turning the han-  
dle counterclockwise.

tion as needed. (See Engine Manual or antifreeze con-  
tainer for alternate antifreeze recommendation.)  
SPARK ARRESTER  
Some federal, state or local laws may require that  
gasoline or diesel engines be equipped with exhaust  
spark arresters when they are operated in certain loca-  
tions where unarrested sparks may present a fire haz-  
ard. The standard muffler included with this welder  
does not qualify as a spark arrester. When required by  
local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be  
installed and properly maintained.

INSTALLATION  
WELDING OUTPUT CABLES  
To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equipment  
powered by this engine driven welder must:  
With the engine off, connect the electrode and work  
cables to the studs provided. These connections  
should be checked periodically and tightened if neces-  
sary.  
a) be grounded to the frame of the welder using a  
grounded type plug,  
or  
b) be double insulated.  
Listed in Table A.1 are copper cable sizes recom-  
mended for the rated current and duty cycle. Lengths  
stipulated are the distance from the welder to work and  
back to the welder again. Cable sizes are increased for  
greater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizing  
cable voltage drop.  
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.

Cables.  
TOTAL COMBINED LENGTH OF ELEC-  
TRODE AND WORK CABLES  
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

OPERATION  
ENGINE CONTROLS  
WELDER CONTROLS  
IGNITION SWITCH  
POLARITY SWITCH  
When placed in the “ON” position, this switch energizes  
the fuel solenoid. When placed in the “OFF” position,  
the flow of fuel to the injection pump is stopped to shut  
down the engine.  
Turn the Arc Polarity switch to electrode positive or  
electrode negative as required for each particular  
application.  
CONTROL OF WELDING CURRENT  
Purpose of Controls  
SPEED CONTROL LEVER  
Manually allows the engine to run at its high idle speed  
controlled by the governor or at the factory set low idle  
speed. When welding, using air compressor or using  
auxiliary power the speed control lever must be in the  
“RUN” position. To reduce the engine to low idle speed  
when not welding, not using the compressor or not  
using auxiliary power place the speed control lever in  
the “IDLE” position notch.  
The continuous “Current Control” is the main current  
adjuster. The “Job Selector” is both a fine current  
adjuster and the continuous Open Circuit Voltage  
adjuster. Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) controls the arc  
characteristics.  
“Job Selector”  
The “Job Selector” dial is divided into four colored sec-  
tions providing OCV ranges as follows:  
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE  
Displays the coolant temperature in the engine block.  
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE  
Color  
White  
Black  
Red  
Title  
Large Electrodes  
Normal Welding  
OCV Range  
High OCV  
Medium OCV  
Overhead & Vertical Low OCV  
Displays the oil pressure to the engine. When the  
engine starts running, watch for the oil pressure to  
build up. If no pressure shows within 30 seconds, stop  
the engine and consult the engine instruction manual.  
Grey  
Special Applications Extra-Low OCV  
The “Job Selector” is usually set in the black range  
because it provides a soft “Buttering “ arc desired for  
most welding. Some operators prefer to set the “Job  
Selector” in the red range for a snappy “Digging” arc  
when welding vertical up or overhead.  
BATTERY CHARGING AMMETER  
Displays the current going from the charging alternator  
into the batteries. It is normal for charging current to be  
high (above 15 amps) after starting or when the batter-  
ies are ‘low’ on charge.  
“Current Control”  
CAUTION  
Do not adjust the “Current Control” while welding  
because this can damage the control.  
ENGINE HOUR METER  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
The “Current Control” dial is calibrated in amperes on  
three separate colored dials corresponding to the  
white, black and red ranges of the “Job Selector” dial.  
For example: when the “Job Selector” is set on the  
black range, the approximate welding current is indi-  
cated on the black scale of the “Current Control” dial.  
The engine hour meter records the total running time  
on the engine in hours. It can be used to keep a record  
of maintenance on the engine and or welder.  
ENGINE PROTECTION SYSTEM  
The engine protection system shuts down the engine  
under high coolant temperature or low engine oil pres-  
sure conditions by allowing the fuel solenoid valve to  
close.

OPERATION  
How to Set the Controls  
15 AMP Circuit Breakers  
Assume you want a normal soft arc and about 135  
amps, using a 5/32” (4.0 mm) electrode:  
These circuit breakers provide separate overload cur-  
rent protection for each half of the 115 V duplex recep-  
tacle.The circuit breakers provide overload current pro-  
tection in both current carrying wires of the 230 V  
duplex receptacle.  
1. Set the “Job Selector” at the center of the black  
range.  
2. Set the “Current Control” to read 135 amps on the  
black dial.  
Ground Stud  
Provides a connection point for connecting the  
machine to earth ground. For the safest grounding pro-  
cedure refer to “Machine Grounding” in the INSTALLA-  
TION section of this manual.  
3. Start to weld.  
4. If you want a little more current, turn the “Job  
Selector” up (counterclockwise) to increase cur-  
rent. If you want a little less current, turn the “Job  
Selector” down (clockwise) to decrease current.  
AIR COMPRESSOR CONTROLS  
5. If dialing the desired current with the “Job  
Selector” moves the setting outside the black  
range causing undesirable arc characteristics, turn  
the “Job Selector” back to the center of the black  
range. Then turn the “Current Control” up or down  
a little as needed. Readjust the “Job Selector” for  
the exact characteristics and current desired.  
COMPRESSOR ON/OFF SWITCH  
Placing the “ON/OFF” switch in the “ON” position  
allows the “pressure switch” (factory preset) to control  
the air compressor through an electric clutch.When the  
system pressure falls below 90 psi, the “pressure  
switch” engages the clutch and compressor. When the  
system pressure goes above 130 psi, the “pressure  
switch” disengages the clutch and compressor.  
REMOTE CONTROL  
The “ON/OFF” switch needs to be in the “ON” position  
when using compressed air. When placed in the “OFF”  
position this switch does not allow the compressor  
clutch to engage regardless of the tank pressure.  
A receptacle and “Local/Remote” control switch on the  
lower front control panel and a remote control box with  
25 ft. (7.6 m) of 3-conductor cord for adjusting the OCV  
at the welding site. Putting the switch in the “REMOTE”  
position allows fine current control at the remote con-  
trol box while placing the switch in the “LOCALposition  
allows fine current control at the “Job Selector” on the  
machine. When using the optional field installed CV  
adapter (K385-1) the “Local/Remote” switch is only  
active in the “VV” mode.  
The “ON/OFF” switch should be in the “OFF” position  
while starting the engine. This will minimize the load on  
the starter motor.  
COMPRESSOR OPERATING LIGHT  
This light is on when the compressor “ON/OFF” switch  
is in the “ON” position.  
AUXILIARY POWER CONTROLS  
115 VAC Receptacle

OPERATION  
BREAK-IN PERIOD  
ENGINE OPERATION  
CAUTION  
ENGINE  
Do not adjust the high idle engine speed (rpm) above  
the factory setting specification as this will overspeed  
the air compressor and void it’s warranty.  
The engine used to supply power for your welder is a  
heavy duty, industrial engine. It is designed and built  
for rugged use. It is very normal for any engine to use  
small quantities of oil until the break-in is accom-  
plished. Check the oil level twice a day during the  
break-in period (about 100 running hours).  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
STARTING INSTRUCTIONS  
Be sure all Pre-Operation Maintenance has been per-  
formed. (See INSTALLATION section of this manual).  
Set the air compressor “ON/OFF” switch in the “OFF”  
position.To start the engine, set the speed control lever  
in the “RUN” position. Place ignition toggle switch in  
the “ON” position. Push in the engine protection sys-  
tem reset button. 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  
“OFF” position.  
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.  
AIR COMPRESSOR  
Cylinder head stud torque must be checked after initial  
8 to 10 hours of operation. See compressor operator’s  
manual for details. Compressor mounting bolts should  
be checked for tightness after initial 8 to 10 hours of  
operation.  
When an engine is started for the first time, some of the  
oil will be needed to fill the passages of the lubricating  
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 fac-  
tory and should require no adjusting when received.

MAINTENANCE  
Note: Water and fuel should be drained into a suit-  
WARNING  
able container for proper disposal.  
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.  
COMPRESSOR AIR RECEIVER TANKS  
Do not touch electrically live parts  
such as output terminals or inter-  
nal wiring  
Drain the condensation from the tanks after each use  
by opening the drain valve located at the lower right  
rear of the welder.  
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.  
ENGINE AIR FILTER  
Use in open, well ventilated areas  
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.  
or vent exhaust outside  
MOVING PARTS can injure.  
Do not operate with doors open or  
guards off  
Stop engine before servicing  
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE  
Keep away from moving parts  
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.  
Remove guards only when necessary and  
replace when work requiring removal is com-  
plete.  
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or  
service this equipment.  
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.  
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE  
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.  
Check the engine crankcase and compressor oil levels.  
3. See the engine Instruction Manual for periodic engine  
maintenance information. Change the crankcase oil at  
regular intervals using the proper grade of oil as recom-  
mended in the engine operating manual. Change the oil  
filter in accordance with the instructions in the engine  
operating manual. When the oil filter is changed add one  
quart of oil to the crankcase to replace the oil held in the  
filter during operation.  
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.  
FUEL SYSTEM WATER SEPARATOR  
MAINTENANCE  
4. See the compressor operator’s manual for periodic com-  
pressor maintenance information. Change the compres-  
sor oil at regular intervals using only Iowa Mold Tooling  
Co., Inc. (IMT) synthetic compressor oil as recommended  
in the compressor operating manual.  
If the fuel system on the engine is equipped with a  
water separator, the following maintenance proce-  
dures must be followed.  
Inspect the glass bowl for any accumulation of water  
on a daily basis. If water is present:  
CAUTION  
The use of any other oil causes excessive carbon build up,  
and will void the warranty on the compressor.  
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
1. Insure the fuel shut off valve is in the "open" position.  
2. Loosen the drain screw on the bottom of the bowl  
one to two turns or until water begins to flow. Do  
not remove the screw completely.  
3. Drain until the water has visibly drained from the  
bowl and only clear fuel starts to flow from the  
drain valve.  
5. Belts tend to loosen after the first 30 or 40 hours of oper-  
ation. Check the cooling fan belt and tighten if necessary.  
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. The compressor belt does not  
require any adjustment.  
4. Close the drain screw tightly by hand.

MAINTENANCE  
between slip rings and brushes with the coarse side  
against the brushes. With slight additional finger pres-  
sure on top of the brushes, pull the sandpaper around  
the circumference 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%. Arcing or excessive exciter brush wear indicates  
a possible misaligned shaft. Have an authorized Field  
Service Shop check and realign the shaft.  
BEARING MAINTENANCE  
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.  
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  
The SAE400 WELD’N AIR is equipped with a pressure  
radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of  
coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system periodi-  
cally to prevent clogging the passage and overheating  
the engine. When antifreeze is needed, always use the  
permanent type.  
COMMUTATOR AND BRUSH MAINTENANCE  
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.

- Commutator Damage  
- Excessive brush wear  
REPLACING AIR COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT  
Periodically inspect the commutator, slip rings and  
brushes by removing the covers. DO NOT remove or  
replace these covers while the machine is running.  
CAUTION  
Belt is tensioned using a automatic tensioning device.  
Remove with care.  
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.  
------------------------------------------------------------------------  
To remove compressor belt:  
1. Remove nut and lock washer from lower locking  
bolt on idler tension flange.  
2. Loosen center mounting bolt on idler tensioner 1/2  
turn or until it moves freely.  
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.  
3. Using a pipe wrench or equivalent tool, turn ten-  
sioner body slightly to free locking bolt. Remove  
locking bolt and slowly release tension on belt.  
Remove belt.  
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 stoning, blow out the dust with low pressure air.  
Note: Do not loosen or remove compressor mounting  
bolts. Pulley misalignment may result.  
To install belt (after following above procedure):  
1. Mount belt into pulley grooves and over idler pul-  
ley.  
2. Using a pipe wrench or suitable tool, turn idler  
body to realign locking slot in idler flange with lock-  
ing hole. Insert locking bolt and tighten before  
releasing idler body. Tighten center mounting bolt.  
Note: Ensure that both belt strands are running prop-  
erly in pulley grooves.  
To seat the slip ring brushes, position the brushes in  
place. Then slide one end of a piece of fine sandpaper
