WARNING

Mar ‘95

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDSmay be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, andwelders having a pacemaker should consult their physicianbefore welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other healtheffects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order tominimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Securethem with tape when possible.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode andwork cables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close aspossible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove theradiator pressure cap when the engine ishot.

ARC RAYS can burn.4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover

plates to protect your eyes from sparks andthe rays of the arc when welding or observingopen arc welding. Headshield and filter lensshould conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistantmaterial to protect your skin and that of your helpers fromthe arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammablescreening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor exposethemselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

ELECTRIC SHOCK cankill.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 bareskin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free

gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your fullarea of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if weldingmust be performed under electrically hazardousconditions (in damp locations or while wearing wetclothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings orscaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable oraccidental contact with the workpiece or ground) usethe following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomaticwelding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electricalconnection with the metal being welded. The connectionshould 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 andwelding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replacedamaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts ofelectrode holders connected to two welders because voltagebetween the two can be the total of the open circuit voltageof both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protectyourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

FUMES AND GASEScan be dangerous.5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases

hazardous to health. Avoid breathing thesefumes and gases.When welding, keepyour head out of the fume. Use enoughventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. Whenwelding with electrodes which require specialventilation such as stainless or hard facing (seeinstructions on container or MSDS) or on lead orcadmium plated steel and other metals or coatingswhich produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure aslow as possible and below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. Inconfined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, arespirator may be required. Additional precautions arealso required when welding on galvanized steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affectedby various factors including proper use and positioning ofthe equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the spe-cific welding procedure and application involved. Workerexposure level should be checked upon installation andperiodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicableOSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vaporscoming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors toform phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating prod-ucts.

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air andcause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for thisequipment and the consumables to be used, including thematerial safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow youremployer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available fromyour welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’srecommendations.

8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. NationalElectrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.

CYLINDER may explodeif damaged.7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders

containing the correct shielding gas for theprocess used and properly operatingregulators designed for the gas and

pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable forthe application and maintained in good condition.

7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securelychained to an undercarriage or fixed support.

7.c. Cylinders should be located:• Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected tophysical damage.

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

7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any otherelectrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.

7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outletwhen opening the cylinder valve.

7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and handtight except when the cylinder is in use or connected foruse.

7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gascylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases inCylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

WELDING SPARKS cancause fire or explosion.6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

If this is not possible, cover them to preventthe welding sparks from starting a fire.Remember that welding sparks and hot

materials from welding can easily go through small cracksand openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding nearhydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,special precautions should be used to prevent hazardoussituations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSIStandard Z49.1) and the operating information for theequipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrodecircuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contactcan cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until theproper steps have been taken to insure that such procedureswill not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substancesinside. They can cause an explosion even though they havebeen “cleaned”. For information, purchase “RecommendedSafe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting ofContainers and Piping That Have Held HazardousSubstances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting orwelding. They may explode.

6.f. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oilfree protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wearear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in awelding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the weldingarea as practical. Work cables connected to the buildingframework or other locations away from the welding areaincrease the possibility of the welding current passingthrough lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir-cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chainsor cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉPour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructionset les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans cemanuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suiv-antes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tensionquand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujourstout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nueou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sanstrous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand onsoude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un planchermetallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grandepartie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câblede soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr étatdefonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour lerefroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tensiondes porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souderparce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être letotal de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source decourant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautionspour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet desoudage.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protégercontre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamaisenrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partiedu corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant appropriéainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du ray-onnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ouquand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger lapeau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement del‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité ausoudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc desoudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libresde l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pan-talons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone desoudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les

zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin deprévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé dela masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer unéchauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possiblede la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on placela masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autresendroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risquede voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev-age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquerdes risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et descâbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôlesgalvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal quiproduit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenantd’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. Lachaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeursdu 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” CSAStandard W 117.2-1974.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POURLES MACHINES À SOUDER ÀTRANSFORMATEUR ET ÀREDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code del’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositifde montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à unebonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seronteffectués 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. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leurplace.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

MACHINE GROUNDING

Because this portable engine driven welder or genera-tor creates it’s own power, it is not necessary to con-nect it’s frame to an earth ground, unless the machineis connected to premises wiring (your home, shop,etc.).

To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equip-ment to which this engine driven welder suppliespower must:

• be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug, or be double insulated.

Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carriesexplosive or combustible material.------------------------------------------------------------------------

When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, it’sframe must be electrically bonded to the metal frameof the vehicle. Use a #8 or larger copper wire connect-ed between the machine grounding stud and theframe of the vehicle.Where this engine driven welder is connected topremises wiring such as that in your home or shop, it’sframe must be connected to the system earth ground.See further connection instructions in the section enti-tled “Standby Power Connections”, as well as the arti-cle on grounding in the latest National Electrical Codeand the local code.

In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it shouldbe connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solidearth ground such as a metal water pipe going intothe ground for at least ten feet and having no insulat-ed joints, or to the metal framework of a buildingwhich has been effectively grounded. The NationalElectrical Code lists a number of alternate means ofgrounding electrical equipment. A machine groundingstud marked with the symbol is provided on thefront of the welder.

SPARK ARRESTER

Some federal, state, or local laws may require thatgasoline engines be equipped with exhaust sparkarresters when they are operated in certain locationswhere unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard.The standard muffler included with this welder doesnot qualify as a spark arrester. When required by localregulations, the K894-1 spark arrester must beinstalled and properly maintained.

An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to theengine or adversely affect performance.------------------------------------------------------------------------TOWINGThe recommended trailer for use with this equipmentfor road, in-plant and yard towing by a vehicle(1) isLincoln’s K957-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincolntrailer, he must assume responsibility that the methodof attachment and usage does not result in a safetyhazard nor damage the welding equipment. Some ofthe factors to be considered are as follows:

1. Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincolnequipment and likely additional attachments.

2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base ofthe welding equipment so there will be no unduestress to the framework.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to use this equipment until youhave thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’smanual supplied with your welder. It includesimportant safety precautions, detailed enginestarting, operating and maintenance instructions,and parts lists.------------------------------------------------------------------------

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.• Do not touch electrically live parts orelectrode with skin or wet clothing.• Insulate yourself from work andground• Always wear dry insulating gloves.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.• Use in open, well ventilated areas orvent exhaust outside.

------------------------------------------------------------------------MOVING PARTS can injure.• Do not operate with doors open orguards off.• Stop engine before servicing.• Keep away from moving parts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

See additional warning information atfront of this operator’s manual.

WELDING OUTPUT CABLES

With the engine off, connect the electrode and workcables to the studs provided. These connectionsshould be checked periodically and tightened if neces-sary. Loose connections will result in overheating ofthe output studs.

When welding at a considerable distance from thewelder, be sure you use ample size welding cables.Listed below are copper cable sizes recommended forthe rated current and duty cycle. Lengths stipulatedare the distance from the welder to work and back tothe welder again. Cable sizes are increased forgreater lengths primarily for the purpose of minimizingcable voltage drop.

ANGLE OF OPERATION

Internal combustion engines are designed to run in alevel condition which is where the optimum perfor-mance is achieved. The maximum angle of operationfor the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in anydirection. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,provisions must be made for checking and maintain-ing the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in thecrankcase in a level condition.

When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacitywill be slightly less than the specified 9 gallons.

LIFTING

The RANGER 10,000 weighs approximately 575 lbs.with a full tank of gasoline. A lift bail is mounted to themachine and should always be used when lifting themachine.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION

If the RANGER 10,000 will be consistently operated ataltitudes above 5000 ft, a carburetor jet designed forhigh altitudes should be installed. This will result inbetter fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longerspark plug life. It will not give increased power whichis decreased at higher altitudes. Engine horsepower isreduced by 3.5% per 1000 feet for altitudes above 377feet.

Do not operate a RANGER 10,000 with a high alti-tude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. Thiswill result in the engine running too lean andresult in higher engine operating temperatureswhich can shorten engine life.-----------------------------------------------------------------------Contact your local Kohler, Honda or Robin/SubaruAuthorized Dealer for high altitude jet kits that areavailable from the engine manufacturer.

120 V DUPLEX RECEPTACLES

The 120V auxiliary power receptacles should only beused with three wire grounded type plugs or approveddouble insulated tools with two wire plugs.

The current rating of any plug used with the systemmust be at least equal to the current load through theassociated receptacle.

MOTOR STARTING

Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started ifthere is no load on the motor or other load connectedto the machine, since the full load current rating of a1.5 hp motor is approximately 20 amperes (10amperes for 240 volt motors). The motor may be runat full load when plugged into only one side of theduplex receptacle. Larger motors through 2 hp can berun provided the receptacle rating as previously statedis not exceeded. This may necessitate 240V operationonly.

WARNING

WELDER CONTROLS - FUNCTION ANDOPERATIONENGINE SWITCHThe engine switch is used to Start the Engine, SelectHigh Idle or Auto Idle while the engine is running, andstop the Engine.

When placed in the “OFF” position, the ignitioncircuit is de-energized to shut down the engine.

When held in the “START” position, the enginestarter motor is energized.

When in “HIGH IDLE” ( ) position, the engine willrun continuously at high idle.

When in “AUTO IDLE” ( / ) position, theengine will run continuously and the idler operates asfollows:

• Welding

When the electrode touches the work, the welding arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to fullspeed.

After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power isbeing drawn), the engine will return to low idleafter approximately 10 to 14 seconds.

• Auxiliary Power

With the engine running at low idle and auxiliarypower for lights or tools is drawn (approximately100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles,the engine will accelerate to high speed. If nopower is being drawn from the receptacles (andnot welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reducesthe engine speed to low idle.

STARTING/SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONSSTARTING THE ENGINE

Be sure all Pre-Operation Maintenance has been per-formed. Also, read the Engine Owner’s Manual beforestarting for the first time.

Remove all loads connected to the AC power recepta-cles. Use the choke control as follows:

KOHLER ENGINE - Always pull the choke control outwhen starting the engine; cold, warm or hot.

HONDA ENGINE - IF the engine is cold, pull thechoke control out. Do Not use the choke if the engineis warm or hot.

Turn the engine switch to the “start” position andcrank the engine until it starts. Release the switch assoon as the engine starts, slowly return the chokecontrol to the full “in” position (choke open), and turn the switch to the Auto Idle( / ) position. Do not turn the switch to the “start” positionwhile the engine is running because this will causedamage to the ring gear and/or starter motor

After running at high engine speed for 10-14 seconds,the engine will go to low idle.Allow the engine to warm up by letting it run at low idlefor a few minutes.

STOPPING THE ENGINE

Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads andallow engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutesto cool the engine.

Stop the engine by placing the Engine switch in the

“OFF” position.

A fuel shut off valve is not required on the Ranger10,000 because the fuel tank is mounted below the

engine.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

It is normal for any engine to use a greater amount ofoil until the break-in is accomplished. Check the oillevel twice a day during the break-in period (approxi-mately 50 running hours).

IMPORTANT: IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THISBREAK-IN, THE UNIT SHOULD BESUBJECTED TO MODERATE LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OFTHE MACHINE. AVOID LONG IDLERUNNING PERIODS. REMOVE LOADS AND ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL BEFORE SHUTDOWN.

The engine manufacturer’s recommendation for therunning time until the first oil change is as follows:

WELDING PROCESSFor any electrodes the procedures should be keptwithin the rating of the machine. For electrode infor-mation see the appropriate Lincoln publication.

STICK (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

Connect welding cables to the "TO WORK” and"ELECTRODE” studs. Start the engine. Set the"Polarity” switch to the desired polarity. The “RANGE”switch markings indicate the maximum current for thatrange as well as the typical electrode size for thatrange. The “OUTPUT” Control provides fine adjust-ment of the welding current within the select range.For maximum output within a selected range set the“OUTPUT” Control at 10. For minimum output within aselected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 5. (“OUT-PUT” Control settings below 5 may reduce arc stabili-ty) For best overall welding performance set the“RANGE” Switch to the lowest setting and the OUT-PUT” Control near the maximum to achieve thedesired welding current.

RANGE SETTING TYPICAL CURRENT RANGEELECTRODE SIZE

The RANGER 10,000 can be used with a broad rangeof AC and DC stick electrodes. See “Welding Tips 1”included with the RANGER 10,000 for electrodes with-in the rating of this unit and recommended weldingcurrents of each.

TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING

The K930-[ ] TIG Module installed on a Ranger 10,000provides high frequency and shielding gas control forAC and DC GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Outputcontrol is from the Ranger 10,000. The output controlon the TIG Module is not functional. After flow time isadjustable from 0 to 55 seconds.

When using the Ranger 10,000 for AC TIG welding ofaluminum, the following settings and electrodes arerecommended:

The K930-[ ] TIG Module should be used with the Ranger10,000 on high idle to maintain satisfactory operation. Itcan be used in the AUTO position but the delay going tolow idle after welding is ceased will be increased if theAFTER FLOW CONTROL is set above 10 seconds.

NOTE: For AC TIG Welding, the maximum TIG weldingoutput currents on each range setting will be approxi-mately 50% higher than those marked on the nameplate.This is due to the special nature of the AC TIG weldingarc. Do not AC TIG weld on the 225AC range setting.The output current may exceed the rating of the Ranger10,000.

WIRE FEED WELDING PROCESSES(CONSTANT VOLTAGE)

The Innershield® electrode recommended for use withthe RANGER 10,000 is NR®-211-MP. The electrodesizes and welding ranges that can be used with theRANGER 10,000 are shown in the following table:

Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds therequirements for API service classification SG or SH.Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil con-tainer to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH.

SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-tempera-ture use, -5 F to 104 F (-20 C to 40 C).

See Engine Owner’s Manual for more specific informa-tion on oil viscosity recommendations.

Wash your hands with soap and water after handlingused oil.

Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that iscompatible with the environment. We suggest you takeit in a sealed container to your local service station orrecycling center for reclamation.

Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground ordown a drain.

OIL FILTER CHANGE

1. Drain the engine oil.

2. Remove the oil filter, and drain the oil into a suitablecontainer. Discard the used oil filter.

3. Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the gasketof the new oil filter with clean engine oil.

4. Screw on the new oil filter by hand, until the gasketcontacts the filter mounting base, then use an oil fil-ter socket tool to tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to7/8 turn.

5. Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of therecommended oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap.

6. Start the engine and check for oil filter leaks.

7. Stop the engine, and check the oil level. If neces-sary, add oil to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.

AIR CLEANER AND OTHER MAINTENANCE

• Air Cleaner - With normal operating conditions, themaintenance schedule for cleaning and re-oilingthe foam pre-filter is every 25 hours and replace-ment of the air cleaner filter every 100 hours.More frequent servicing is required with dustyoperating conditions. Refer to the maintenancesection of the Engine Owner’s Manual for moreinformation.

• Refer to the maintenance section of the EngineOwner’s Manual for the maintenance schedule,spark plug servicing, cooling system servicing, andfuel filter replacement.

• Blow out the machine with low pressure air period-ically. In particularly dirty locations, this may berequired once a week.

• Output Ranger Selector and Polarity Switches:Switch contacts should not be greased. To keepcontacts clean, rotate the switch through its entirerange frequently. Good practice is to turn the han-dle from maximum to minimum setting twice eachmorning before starting to weld.
