SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Have qualified personnel do all maintenance and

troubleshooting work.

• Turn the engine off before working inside the

machine.

• Remove guards only when necessary to perform

maintenance and replace them when the mainte-
nance requiring their removal is complete.

• If guards are missing from the machine, get replace-

ments from a Lincoln Distributor.

Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this manu-
al and in the Briggs & Stratton Owner’s Manual before
working on the WELDANPOWER 125.

Keep all equipment safety guards, covers, and devices
in position and in good repair. Keep your hands, hair,
clothing, and tools away from the recoil housing, fans,
and all other moving parts when starting, operating, or
repairing this machine.

ROUTINE AND PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE

ENGINE MAINTENANCE

To prevent the engine from accidentally starting, dis-
connect the spark plug lead before servicing the
engine.

See Table D.1 for a summary of maintenance intervals
for the items listed below. Follow either the hourly or
the calendar intervals, whichever come first. More fre-
quent service may be required, depending on your
specific application and operating conditions. Table
D.2 shows engine maintenance replacement parts and
numbers.

OIL: Check the oil level after every 5
hours of operation or daily. BE SURE
TO MAINTAIN THE OIL LEVEL.

Change the oil the first time after 5 hours of operation.
Then, under normal operating conditions, change the
oil after every 50 hours or once a year, whichever
occurs first. If the engine is operated under heavy load
or in high ambient temperatures, change the oil every
25 hours.

Drain the oil from the drain plug located on the engine
bottom, as shown in Figure D.1. Refill through the oil
fill until the oil reaches the FULL mark on the dipstick.
See Figure D.2. Use SAE 10W-30 grade oil.
