Some engine adjustment may be required. Contact a Continental Service Representative. PRE-OPERATION ENGINE SERVICE Read and understand the information about the gasoline engine in the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual before you operate the Classic I. WARNING Keep hands away from the engine muffler or HOT engine parts. • Stop the engine when fueling. • Do not smoke when fueling. • Remove the fuel cap slowly to release pressure. • Do not overfill the fuel tank. • Wipe up spilled fuel and allow the fumes to clear before starting the engine. • Keep sparks and flame away from the fuel tank. OIL The Classic I is shipped with the engine filled with SAE 10W-30 oil. This should be fine for most ambient operating temperature conditions. See the engine operation manual for specific recommendations. CHECK THE OIL LEVEL BEFORE YOU START THE ENGINE. This is an added precaution. When full, the oil level should be up to but not over the FULL mark on the dipstick. If it is not full, add enough oil to fill it to the full mark. DO NOT overfill. For more oil fill and service information, see the Maintenancesection of this manual. FUEL Fill the fuel tank with clean, gasoline only. The Classic I has a 15 gallon (57 liter) fuel tank with a top fill and fuel gauge mounted on the control panel. See the Operation and Maintenance sections of this manual for more details about fuel. BATTERY CONNECTIONS The Classic I is shipped with the negative battery cable disconnected. Before you operate the machine, make sure the IGNITION switch is in the OFF position and attach the disconnected cable securely to the battery terminal. If the battery is discharged and won't start the engine, see the battery charging instructions in the Maintenancesection. – + CLASSIC I Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOCReturn to Master TOC Return to Master TOC Return to Master TOC Return to Master TOC A-5 A-5 INSTALLATION COOLING SYSTEM The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a 50-50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and water. Check the radiator level and add a 50-50 solution as needed. (See the engine manual or antifreeze container for alternate antifreeze recommendations.) MUFFLER This welder is supplied with an adjustable rain cap for the muffler. Install the rain cap using the clamp provided with the outlet facing away from the direction in which this unit will be transported. This will minimize the amount of water and debris that could enter the muffler during transportation. EXHAUST SPARK ARRESTER Some federal, state, or local laws may require that engines be equipped with exhaust spark arresters when they are operated in certain locations where unarrested sparks may present a fire hazard. The standard mufflers included with these welders do not qualify as spark arresters. When required by local regulations, a suitable spark arrester must be installed and properly maintained. CAUTION Use of an incorrect arrester may lead to engine damage or performance loss. Contact the engine manufacturer for specific recommendations. TRAILERS If you use a non-Lincoln trailer, you must assume responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a safety hazard nor damage the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be considered are as follows: 1. Design capacity of the trailer vs. the weight of the Lincoln equipment and likely additional attachments. 2. Proper support of, and attachment to, the base of the welding equipment so there will be no undue stress to the framework. 3. Proper placement of the equipment on the trailer to ensure stability side to side and front to back. This includes when being moved and when standing by itself for operation or service. 4. Typical conditions of use, such as travel speed, roughness of the surfaces where the trailer will be used, environmental conditions, likely maintenance. 5. Conformance with federal, state, and local laws. Consult applicable federal, state, and local laws about specific requirements for use on public highways.

When the Classic I is mounted on a truck or a trailer, the machine generator ground stud MUST be securely connected to the metal frame of the vehicle. See Figure A.1. The ground stud is marked with the ground symbol. Some state, local, or other codes or unusual operating circumstances may require the machine frame to be grounded. It is recommended that you determine the extent to which such requirements may apply to your particular situation and follow them ...
