104.22 DIESEL ENGINE
1. Turn the “ IDLER ” switch to “ HIGH ” .
2. Turn the “ IGNITION ” switch to “ ON ” .
3. Press the Glow Plug button for 20 to 30 seconds.
(maximum 60 seconds).
4. Press the Start button. When the engine starts run-
ning, release both buttons. If the engine fails to start
in 20 seconds, wait 30 seconds and repeat the
above procedure.
5. Observe the oil pressure. If no pressure shows
within 30 seconds, stop the engine and consult the
engine operating manual. To stop the engine, turn
the
“ IGNITION ” switch to “ OFF ” .
6. If the engine protection warning light comes on dur-
ing cranking or after start up, the “ IGNITION ” switch
must be turned “ OFF ” to reset the engine protection
system.
7. Allow the engine to run at high idle speed for sever-
al minutes to warm the engine. Stop the engine and
recheck the oil level after allowing sufficient time for
the oil drain into the pan. If the level is down, fill it to
the full mark again. The engine controls were prop-
erly set at the factory and should require no adjust-
ing when received.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
With a fully charged battery and a proper weight oil,
the engine should start satisfactorily even down to
about -15
° F -(26 ° C). If the engine must be frequently
started at or below -15 ° F -(26 ° C), it may be desirable
to install cold-starting aides.
Note : Extreme cold weather starting may require
longer glow plug operation
Under NO conditions should ether or other start-
ing fluids be used!

STOPPING the ENGINE
1. Turn the “ IGNITION ” switch to “ OFF ”
At the end of each day ’ s welding, check the crankcase
oil level, drain accumulated dirt and water from the
sediment bowl under the fuel tank 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.
When hauling the welder between job sites, close the
fuel feed valve beneath the fuel tank.
If the fuel supply is cut off or runs out while the fuel
pump is operating, air may be entrapped in the fuel
distribution system. If this happens, bleeding of the
fuel system may be necessary. Use qualified person-
nel to do this per the instructions in the MAINTE-
NANCE section of this manual.
