MAINTENANCE
General Instructions
1. Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at
least once every two months. In particularly dirty loca-
tions, this cleaning may be necessary once a week.
Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into the insu-
lation.
2. “Current Range Selector” contacts should not be
greased. To keep the contacts clean, rotate the current
control through its entire range frequently. Good prac-
tice is to turn the handle from maximum to minimum
setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
3. Put a drop of oil on the “Current Range Selector”
shaft at least once every month.
4. When necessary, remove the sediment bowl, if so
equipped, from beneath the fuel tank and clean out
any accumulated dirt and water.
5.
Follow the engine service schedule in this manual
and the detailed maintenance and troubleshooting in
the engine manufacturerʼs manual.
Cooling System
The Classic® 300 D is equipped with a pressure radi-
ator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of
coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system periodical-
ly to prevent clogging the passage and overheating the
engine. When antifreeze is needed, always use the
permanent type. Capacity = 9.5 qts (9.0 Ltrs.).
Bearings
This welder is equipped with a double-shielded ball
bearing having sufficient grease to last indefinitely
under normal service. Where the welder is used con-
stantly or in excessively dirty locations, it may be nec-
essary 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.
Commutator and Brushes
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shifting of the commutator brushes may result in:
- Change in machine output
- Commutator damage
- Excessive brush wear
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.
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance
work. Turn the engine off before working inside
the machine. In some cases, it may be necessary
to remove safety guards to perform required
maintenance. Remove guards only when neces-
sary and replace them when the maintenance
requiring their removal is complete. Always use
the greatest care when working near moving
parts.
Do not put your hands near the engine cooling
blower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected by
following the instructions, take the machine to
the nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.
