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.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:

ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
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.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
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.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of
the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-
cific welding procedure and application involved. Worker
exposure level should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
3.f. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
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. 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 prod-
ucts.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
5.d. 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.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
5.e. Read and understand the manufacturerʼs instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employerʼs safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

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.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
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.
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.

powered equipment.
8.a. Turn off input power using the disconnect
switch at the fuse box before working on
the 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 cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.
8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturerʼs
recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturerʼs recommendations.

SAFETY
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où lʼon pique le laitier.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
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:
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
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 dʼincendie.
Sûreté Pour Soudage A LʼArc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode 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 sʼisoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique 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
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans lʼeau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode sʼapplicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-
age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils se rompent.
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
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
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.
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 nʼimporte quelle partie
du corps.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
3. Un coup dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-
onnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde lʼarc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
lʻarc.
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
lʼélectricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de lʼhuile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-
talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debranch-
er à lʼinterrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

STACKING
These machines cannot be stacked.
ANGLE OF OPERATION
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
To achieve optimum engine performance the machine
should be run in a level position. The maximum angle
of operation for the Perkins engine is 30 degrees in all
directions. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintain-
ing 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.

BATTERY CONNECTION
ENGINE BREAK-IN
WARNING: Use caution as the electrolyte is a
strong acid that can burn skin and damage eyes.
Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty indus-
trial engines for the portable welding machines we
offer. While it is normal to see a small amount of
crankcase oil consumption during initial operation,
excessive oil use, wetstacking (oil or tar like sub-
stance at the exhaust port), or excessive smoke is not
normal.
Remove and discard the insulating caps from the neg-
ative battery terminals. Attach and tighten negative
battery cable terminals.
NOTE: This machine is furnished with wet charged
batteries; if unused for several months, the batteries
may require a booster charge. Be careful to charge
the batteries with the correct polarity. Make sure that
the batteries are level while charging.
Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes and
higher, which are operated at low or no-load condi-
tions for extended periods of time are especially sus-
ceptible to the conditions described above. To
accomplish successful engine break-in, most diesel-
powered equipment needs only to be run at a reason-
ably heavy load within the rating of the welder for
some period of time during the engineʼs early life.
However, if the welder is subjected to extensive light
loading, occasional moderate to heavy loading of the
engine may sometimes be necessary. Caution must
be observed in correctly loading a diesel/generator
unit.
WARNING
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.
1. Connect the welder output studs to a suit-
able resistive load bank. Note that any
attempt to short the output studs by con-
necting the welding leads together, direct
shorting of the output studs, or connecting
the output leads to a length of steel will
result in catastrophic damage to the gener-
ator and voids the warranty.
● USING A BOOSTER — connect positive lead to
battery first then connect negative lead to neg-
ative battery lead at the lower control panel
support.
2. Set the welder controls for an output cur-
rent and voltage within the welder rating
and duty cycle. Note that any attempt to
exceed the welder rating or duty cycle for
any period of time will result in catastrophic
damage to the generator and voids the
warranty.
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and
skin.
● Wear gloves and eye protection
and be careful when working near
battery.
● Follow instructions printed on battery.
3. Periodically shut off the engine and check
the crankcase oil level.
IMPORTANT: To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE

b) be double insulated.
Some federal, state or local laws may require that
diesel engines be equipped with exhaust spark
arrestors when they are operated in certain locations
where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard.
The welder was shipped from the factory with a sepa-
rate spark arresting unit. If a spark arrestor is required
secure the spark arrestor to the outlet tube of the muf-
fler using the clamp provided. Any spark arrestor must
be serviced and properly maintained.
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.
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 insulat-
ed joints, or to the metal framework of a building
which has been effectively grounded. The U.S.

OPERATION
ENGINE CONTROLS
ENGINE PROTECTION SYSTEM
IGNITION SWITCH
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.
When placed in the “ON” position, this switch ener-
gizes the fuel solenoid. When placed in the “OFF”
position, the flow of fuel to the injection pump is
stopped to shut down the engine.
AIR INTAKE SHUT-OFF
“IDLER” SWITCH
The air intake shut-off is a automatic/manually device
which blocks all intake air from entering the engine.
The idler switch has two positions, “HIGH” and
“AUTO”.
The automatic feature of the shut-off will engage
should excessive over speeding occur. The valve is
calibrated at the factory to shutdown within the safety
When in “HIGH” (
) position, the engine will run
continuously at high idle.
To manually shut down the engine, simply pull the
emergency stop handle on the lower control panel.
When in “AUTO” (
/ ) idle position, the idler
operates as follows:
The air intake shut-off device will reset automatically,
generally within one minute.
a. Welding
When the electrode touches the work, the welding
arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full
speed.
WARNING
• Muffler and Engine may be hot!
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is
being drawn), the engine will return to low idle after
approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
b. Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles, the
engine will accelerate to high speed. If no power is
being drawn from the receptacles ( and not weld-
ing) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces the
engine speed to low idle.
IMPORTANT: Before restarting engine, verify that the
air intake shut-off is in the open position. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO START ENGINE WITH THE AIR
INTAKE SHUT-OFF IN THE CLOSED POSITION.
This may cause severe damage to the engine.
ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE

rent. If you want a little less current, turn the “Job
Selector” down (clockwise) to decrease current.
WELDER CONTROLS
POLARITY SWITCH
Turn the Arc Polarity switch to electrode positive or
electrode negative as required for each particular
application.
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.
CONTROL OF WELDING CURRENT
Purpose of Controls
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.
REMOTE CONTROL
“Job Selector”
A receptacle and “Local/Remote” control switch on the
lower front control panel and a remote control box with
100 ft. (30.5 m) of cord for adjusting the OCV at the
welding site are standard. Putting the switch in the
“REMOTE” position allows fine current control at the
remote control box while placing the switch in the
“LOCAL” position allows fine current control at the
“Job Selector” on the machine.
The “Job Selector” dial is divided into four colored
sections providing OCV ranges as follows:
Color
Title
OCV Range
High OCV
White
Large Electrodes
Normal Welding
Black
Red
Medium OCV
Overhead & Vertical Low OCV
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.

because this can damage the control.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
230 VAC Receptacle
One 15 amp, 230 VAC duplex receptacle provides
230 VAC for auxiliary power. A total of 13 amps can
be drawn from this receptacle.
How to Set the Controls
Circuit Breakers
Assume you want a normal soft arc and about 135
amps, using a 5/32” (4.0 mm) electrode:
The circuit breakers provide separate overload current
protection for each half of the 115 V duplex recepta-
cle. 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.

STOPPING THE ENGINE
1. Turn the “IGNITION” switch to “OFF”
CAUTION
At the end of each dayʼs welding, check the crankcase
oil level, drain accumulated dirt and water from the
water separator and refill the fuel tank to minimize
moisture condensation in the tank. Also, running out
of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel system.
Do not adjust the high idle engine speed (rpm)
above the factory setting specification as this will
void warranty.

service this equipment.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
At the end of each dayʼs 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 oil level.
ENGINE AIR FILTER
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.
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 fil-
ter should never be removed while the engine is run-
ning.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
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
pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insulation.
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 mini-
mum daily to prevent the controls from sticking.
3. See the engine Instruction Manual for periodic engine
maintenance information. Change the oil filter in accor-
dance with the instructions in the engine operating man-
ual. When the oil filter is changed add one quart of oil to
the crankcase to replace the oil held in the filter during
operation.

MAINTENANCE
BEARING MAINTENANCE
To seat the slip ring brushes, position the brushes in
place. Then slide one end of a piece of fine sandpa-
per between slip rings and brushes with the coarse
side against 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%.
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.
Arcing or excessive exciter brush wear indicates a
possible misaligned shaft. Have an authorized Field
Service Shop check and realign the shaft.
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
COMMUTATOR AND BRUSH MAINTENANCE
The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY is equipped with a
pressure radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to pre-
vent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the cooling sys-
tem periodically to prevent clogging the passage and
overheating the engine. When antifreeze is needed,
always use the permanent type.
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.
WARNING
FUEL FILTERS
When working on the fuel system
• Keep ungrounded lights away, do not
smoke !
Shifting of the brushes may result in:
- Change in machine output
- Commutator Damage
• Do not spill fuel !
- Excessive brush wear
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SAE-400 SEVERE DUTY is equipped with a Fuel
Pre-Filter/Water Separator Assembly located before
the lift pump and a Secondary Fuel Filter located
after the lift pump and before the fuel injectors. The
Fuel Pre-Filter/Water Separator is mounted to the
engine block just below the lift pump.
Periodically inspect the commutator, slip rings and
brushes by removing the covers. DO NOT remove or
replace these covers while the machine is running.
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.
The Secondary Fuel Filter is mounted directly to the
engine just above the oil filter.
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.
FUEL PRE-FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR ASSEMBLY
The pre-filter is a 150 micron screen designed to pro-
tect against gross fuel contamination of the water sep-
arator element and the Secondary Fuel Filter. If the
pre-filter becomes plugged it may be removed,
inspected, cleaned and reinstalled. In general this
only needs to be done with each water separator ele-
ment change (about every 1,000 hrs.) However if at
any time excessive fuel contamination is suspected or
a sudden fall-off in engine performance is detected
the pre-filter screen should be inspected and cleaned.
Follow the following procedure:
Replace brushes when they wear within 1/4" of the
pigtail. A complete set of replacement brushes should
be kept on hand. Lincoln brushes have a curved face
to fit the commutator. Have an experienced mainte-
nance man seat these brushes by lightly stoning the
commutator 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.

MAINTENANCE
1. Close the fuel shutoff valve located under the fuel
tank.
3. Grasp the element and pull down with a slight rock-
ing motion to remove the element from the grom-
met post on the bottom of the filter header.
2. Unscrew the cap ring located on the top of the filter
header and remove the plastic center cap and O-
ring.
4. Slide the new element onto the grommet post on the
bottom of the filter header until the element no longer
easily moves up into the filter header. Now rotate the
element (may take almost 1 full turn) with a slight
upward pressure until the element begins to further
engage the header. With the proper orientation now
established apply additional pressure to seat the ele-
ment in the filter header. You should feel the element
“pop” into place when properly seated.
3. Remove the large white volume plug located
directly under the center cap in the upper cavity of
the filter header. Use a small screwdriver (or simi-
lar device) to lift the plug part way out of the cavity
to assist with its removal.
Be careful not to damage the pre-filter screen
with the tool used to remove the plug.
Note: The element will only go on one way. Never
use excessive force when mounting the element to
the header.
4. Using a pair of pliers, gently tug on the pull tabs of
the pre-filter screen in an alternating pattern to
gradually remove the pre-filter screen.
5. Slide the quick change ring up over the element and
rotate counter clockwise until an audible click or pop
is heard. If you do not hear the click you have not
rotated the ring far enough and the element is not in
the locked position. Another indication that the ring is
in the locked position is that one set (it doesnʼt matter
which one) of arrows located on the outside of the
ring should be located directly under the air vent
valve.
5. Brush off any debris and rinse in diesel fuel.
6. Re-install the pre-filter screen into the upper cavity
of the filter header making sure the four pull tabs
are pointing up. Putting your fingers on the pull
tabs, push down evenly until the lower body of the
pre-filter screen contacts the floor of the upper cav-
ity.
6. Open the fuel shutoff valve.
7. Open the air vent valve on the front of the filter header
until fuel emerges free of air bubbles and then close
the air vent valve.
7. Re-insert the large white volume plug into the
upper cavity.
Note : Consult your engine operation manual for infor-
mation on air bleeding the entire fuel system.
8. Place the O-ring onto the angled seal surface of
the filter header and re-install the plastic cap. Make
sure its flange rests on the O-ring.
SECONDARY FUEL FILTER
9. Screw on the cap ring and tighten hand tight.
The Secondary Fuel Filter has a quick change element
mounted to the engine similar to the Water Separator.
Consult your engine operation manual for complete infor-
mation on service intervals and element changing proce-
dures.
10. Remember to open the fuel shutoff valve before
starting the engine.
