1.0 INTRODUCTION AND TECHNICAL DATA :
1.1 SCOPE
The purpose of this instruc on manual is to inform the operator of the equipment to assist the correct methods of
trouble shoo ng and maintenance. The best results will be obtained only if the operator and maintenance
personnel responsible for the equipment are familiar with those instruc ons.
a) General
The engine powered D.C. Arc Welder, has been developed for electrical welding of steel, cast iron and weld able
nonferrous metals (thickness 0.8 mm onwards) with electrode of 2.5 mm to 6.3 mm diameter. It is useful
especially in remote areas where electrical supply is difficult to get or not available. It can also be used as a standby
welding set in the fabrica on shop.
The standard set is skid mounted. Engine and welding generator are also close coupled to ensure correct alignment
and smooth running. The assembly of engine and generator is mounted on skid. The skid is strong enough for
being towed on cross country roads. The set is covered by a suitable sheet canopy.
All controls and monitoring instruments for engines are brought on panels at various places. This is for easy
opera on and maintenance. Engine exhaust has been brought on the top of the canopy.
b) Engine
The engine is water cooled diesel engine. It is supplied with a heavy duty dry type air cleaner, fuel filter, fuel
li pump, mechanical governor, electric star ng motor, ba ery charging alternator and radiator. The
radiator is of copper/brass fins and with sufficient water capacity for keeping the engine cool. The engine is
protected against high coolant temperature and low lube oil pressure.

2.0 INSTALLATION:
b) Indoor Installa on :
If the unit is to be operated inside the building, be certain that there is proper ven la on to allow exhaust fumes to
escape and ensure inlet of fresh air . Provide at least 3 feet of space on all sides of the unit.
ii) Engine Start : To start the engine, press the start push bu on.
iii) Engine stop : Pull engine stop lever ll the engine stop immediately.
i) Fuel ON/OFF Solenoid: This is 12 Volt solenoid used in engine to operate fuel.
(Energize to run) ON/OFF lever fi ed on F.I.P
ii) Start Key: Rotate the key in clockwise direc on to start the engine & in an clockwise direc on to stop.

3.2 Welding Current output terminals and range selec on:
There are three terminals on panel marked Range I, Range II, Range III, (-) and a range selector switch for selec on
of suitable current range. For suitable current range selec on, switch posi on and welding cable connec on
should be as shown below.

4.0 OPERATION:
4.1 Prepara on for Use:
1. Close the drain cock of the radiator. Remove the cap of the radiator and fill the radiator with coolant
(an freeze mixture) up to overflow pipe and don't forget to ghten the cap.
2. Check that the storage ba ery is fully charged (to avoid spillage of acid and subsequent damage during
transit, ba ery is provided without sulphuric acid and with dry uncharged plates and accordingly it
requires ini al filling of acid and ini al charge. Tighten loose connec ons if any).
3. Fill engine oil and check the oil level in the crankcase with dips ck provided on the engine (use correct
viscosity grade as per engine manufacturer's recommenda on).
4. Fill the fuel tank with clean filtered diesel. Use high speed diesel for cold weather applica on.
5. Lubricate where required (see lubrica on sec on in engine operator's handbook).
6. Tighten loose electrical connec ons if any.
7. In case of a new set which has been standing idle for a very long me, it is important that the fuel system
may be bled, i.e. for all traces of air to be removed from the fuel line.
8. Be certain that the air passing the cooling fins of the radiator is free from foreign ma er of the radiator
9. Check all nuts and bolts are ght and there is no co on waste, rags etc. in the vicinity.
10. The founda on bolts of the engine and generator are factory set and locked hence they should not
be disturbed.
** IMPORTANT:
Ba ery polarity: This set has been provided with ba ery (-ve) earth system. Make sure that (-ve) nega ve of the
ba ery is earthed to body; otherwise it will burn the ba ery charging alternator components.
Welding:
When the unit is running, the generator voltage with current control regulator at the maximum posi on will give
maximum open circuit voltage. When welding with.electrodes which are connected to the nega ve polarity
(This applies to majority of jobs) the welding cable with electrode holder is connected to the (-) terminal and the
cable with job clamping (earth clamp) component is connected with one of the terminal marked III (+), II (+), I (+)
depending upon the welding current required for the job. When the welding electrode is to be connected to the
posi ve polarity, the welding cables are connected to the terminals in the reverse way as described above.

5.0 LUBRICATION:
5.1 Generator Lubrica on:
Since generator is provided with sealed bearing, no bearing lubrica on is required.
5.2 Undercarriage Lubrica on:
Only the axle bearing, leaf spring and shackles need to be lubricated with grease.
5.3 Engine Lubrica on:
For details of engine lubrica on, see the `User's Manual' furnished with the unit.
a) Before Opera on :
i) Fill the radiator with coolant. Check and ghten if necessary all hose connec ons. Make sure that the drain cock
is closed and radiator cap is in locked posi on.
ii) Fill the fuel tank. Be sure that there are no leaks in the fuel lines.
iii) Bring the level of the oil in the crankcase to the full mark of the gauge. Check condi on of oil filter. Use lubrica ng
as per recommenda ons of engine manufacturer. Consult engine manual.
iv) Add sufficient dis lled water to the ba ery for using the level (10 mm approx.) above the plates.
v) Inspect all electrical connec ons and ghten if necessary.
vi) Check the condi on of air filter and ensure its proper moun ng.
c) A er Opera on :
i) Clean up around the working area. Put all the tools, parts in their proper places.
ii) Shut the engine and clean it. Wipe out dust scale, or dirt around the welding generator and the exposed electrical
connec ons.
iii) Disconnect ground and electrode cable from the machine, coil them and put them in their proper places.
iv) Clean the air filter and refill it.
v) Refill the fuel tank.
vi) Lubricate oil System: Check all oil lines, connec on, fuel filter and pressure gauge.
vii) Engine Electrical System
- Inspect all wires and terminals for damage, wear and looseness.
- Examine and test the start push bu ons and the switches. Test the ac ons of the star ng motor.
NOTE: Please refer engine manual for engine preven ve maintenance procedure.
