OPERATION
WELDANPOWER 125
Break-in Period
It is normal for any engine to use larger quantities of
oil until break-in is accomplished. Check the oil level
twice a day during the break-in period (about 50
running hours). Change the oil after the first 5 hours
of operation. See the Engine Instruction Manual for
further details.
IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS BREAK-IN, THE
UNIT SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO MODERATE
LOADS, WITHIN THE RATING OF THE MACHINE.
AVOID LONG IDLE RUNNING PERIODS. REMOVE
LOADS AND ALLOW ENGINE TO COOL SEVERAL
MINUTES AT LOW IDLE BEFORE SHUTDOWN.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Low Oil Sensing
This engine has a built in sensor which responds to
low oil level (not pressure). When activated, the
system will shut the engine down. The engine will not
restart until sufficient oil is added. Check oil level
frequently and add oil as required to the full mark on
the dipstick. DO NOT OVERFILL.

WELDING OPERATION
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Weldanpower 125 can deliver from 50 to 125
amps of welding output current . Output can be
adjusted by setting the current control dial on the
output control panel.
You can get maximum welding output by setting the
dial to 125 AMPS. At high current settings like this,
some output may decrease as the machine is used.
If you are welding for a long time, you may need to
turn the dial slightly upward to maintain the same
results.
The numbers on the dial correspond to the
approximate amps needed to weld using specific
Lincoln welding rods. Table B.2, WELDING
APPLICATIONS, or the electrode selection guide on
the machine output panel give you the recommended
dial settings based on the thickness of the work and
the size and type of rod you’re using.
TO USE THE WELDANPOWER 125 FOR WELDING:
1. Remove the flange nuts from the weld output
terminals and place the work and electrode
welding cables over the terminals. See Figure
B.1 and B.1a. Replace and tighten the flange
nuts securely. Be sure the connections are tight.
CAUTION
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts
or electrode with skin or wet
clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and
ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
WARNING
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
• Use in open, well ventilated areas
or vent exhaust outside.
• Do not stack anything on or near
the engine.
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with doors open or
guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
• Keep away from moving parts.
Only qualified personnel should install, use, or
service this equipment.
