OIL
This unit is supplied from the factory with the engine
crankcase filled with a high quality SAE 10W/30 oil.
This oil should be acceptable for most typical ambient
temperatures. Consult the engine operation manual
for specific engine manufacturers recommendations.
Upon receipt of the welder, check the engine dipstick
to be sure the oil is at the
“ full ” mark. Add if required.
DO NOT OVERFILL.
FUEL

Check the radiator level and add a 50-50 solution as
needed. (See engine manual or antifreeze container
for alternate antifreeze recommendations.)
BATTERY CHARGING
The Pipeliner 200D is equipped with a wet charged
battery. The charging current is automatically regulat-
ed when the battery is low (after starting the engine)
to a trickle current when the battery is fully charged.
When replacing, jumping, or otherwise connecting the
battery to the battery cables the proper polarity must
be observed. The correct polarity is
NEGATIVE

GASES FROM BATTERY can explode.
• Keep sparks, flame and cigarettes
away.
BATTERY ACID can burn eyes and
skin.
• Wear gloves and eye protection and
be careful when boosting, charging
or working near battery.
To prevent EXPLOSION when:
a) Installing a new battery - disconnect the nega-
tive cable from the old battery first and con-
nect the negative cable to the new battery last
b) Connecting a battery charger - remove the bat-
tery from the welder by disconnecting the neg-
ative cable first, then the positive cable and
battery clamp. When reinstalling, connect the
negative cable last.
c) Using a booster - connect the positive lead to
the battery first, then connect the negative
lead to the ground lead on the base.
To prevent ELECTRICAL DAMAGE when:
a) Installing a new battery.
b) Using a booster.
