10-3. Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid

S-0684

Y Stop engine.
Y Do not touch hot exhaust

pipe, engine parts, or load

bank/grid.

Y Keep exhaust and pipe away

from flammables.

Y Do not perform run-in

procedure at less than 20

volts weld output and do not

exceed duty cycle or equip-

ment damage may occur.

1

Resistance Grid

Use grid sized for generator rated

output.
Turn Off grid.
2

Welding Generator

Place Welder Selector switch in

Welder B position (600 Amps), A/V

control in minimum position, and

both Process Selector switches in

Stick/TIG position.
3

Weld Cables

Connect grid to generator Welder B

(right) weld output terminals using

proper size weld cables with cor-

rect connectors (polarity is not im-

portant).
4

Voltmeter

5

Clamp-On Ammeter

Connect voltmeter and ammeter as

shown, if not provided on generator.
Start engine and run for several

minutes.
Set grid switches and then adjust

generator A/V control so load

equals 350 Amps at 40 volts.
Check generator and meters after

first five minutes then every fifteen

minutes to be sure generator is

loaded properly.

.

Check oil level frequently dur-
ing run-in; add oil if needed.

After one hour (minimum), place

A/V control in minimum position,

then shut down grid to remove load.

Run engine several minutes at no

load.
Y Stop engine and let cool.
6

Engine Exhaust Pipe

Repeat procedure if wetstacking is

present.
