accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:
• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electro de re el, welding head, nozzle or se mi automatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.
3.f.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.
3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
3.h. N ever s imult aneou sly to uch el ectri cally “hot” parts of

yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.
ARC RAYS can burn.
4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.
4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and ga se s. When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instructions
et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent dans ce
manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté générales suivantes:
Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension
quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.
b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on
soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans
les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une grande
partie du corps peut être en contact avec la masse.
c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble
de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.
d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le
refroidir.
e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension
des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à souder
parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.
f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de
courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se protéger
contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne jamais
enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle partie
du corps.
5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse . U n c ourt-circ uit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.
8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de levage, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.
9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.
10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégr aissage, ne ttoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les vapeurs
du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas fortement toxique)
ou autres produits irritants.
11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde l’arc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.
c. Protéger l’ au tr e personnel travaillant à p ro xi mi té au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des goutte s de laitie r e n fusion sont émises de l ’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse, pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR
1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code de
l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dispositif
de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à une
bonne mise à la terre.
2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la debrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.
4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

PRE-OPERATION INSTALLATION
WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’s
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
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 muffler included with this welder does not
qualify as a spark arrester. 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.
Always operate the welder with the doors closed.
Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow
and may cause overheating.
The welder should be located to provide an unrestricted flow of clean, cool air. Also, locate the welder so
that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an
outside area.
CAUTION
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary or fixed electrical equipment, the surface
shall b e covered w i t h a st ee l plate a t l e a s t
.06”(1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not more than
According to the United States National Electrical
Code, the frame of this portable generator is not
required to be grounded and is permitted to serve as
the grounding means for cord connected equipment
plugged into its receptacle.
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 explicitly. A
machine grounding stud marked with the symbol is
provided on the welding generator frame foot. In general, if the machine is to be grounded, it should be
connected with a #8 or larger copper wire to a solid
earth ground such as a metal water pipe going into
the ground for at least ten feet and having no insulated joints, or to the metal framework of a building
which ha s been effectively gro unded. The U.S.
National Code lists a number of alternate means of
grounding electrical equipment.
LIFT BAIL
A lift bail is provided for lifting with a hoist.
WARNING
• Lift only with equipment of
adequate lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable
when lifting.
• Do not lift this machine using
lift bale if it is equipped with a
heavy accessory such as trailer or gas cylinder.
If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, the user 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 trailer vs. weight of 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 when
being moved and when standing by itself while
being operated or serviced.
4. Typical conditions of use, i.e., travel speed, roughness of surface on which the trailer will be operated; environmental conditions, likely maintenance.
5. Conformance with federal, state and local laws.
(1)
Consult your federal, state and local laws regarding specific
requirements for use on public highways.

WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturer’s
manual supplied with your welder. It includes
important safety precautions, detailed engine
starting, operating and maintenance instructions,
and parts lists.
Operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the
doors open changes the designed air flow and can
cause overheating.
With a fully charged battery and the proper weight oil,
the engine should start satisfactorily even down to
about -5°F (-20°C), it maybe desirable to install coldstarting aides.
At higher altitudes, output derating may be necessary.
For maximum rating, derate the welder 4% for every
300 meters (984 ft.) above 1500 meters (4920 ft.).
Contact a Kubota Service Representative for any
engine adjustments that may be required.
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
water separator 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.

(maximum 60 seconds).
4. Press the Glow Plug button and the Start button at the
same time. When the engine starts running, 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 during
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 several
minutes to warm the engine. Stop the engine and
recheck the oil level, after allowing sufficient time for
the oil to drain into the pan. If the level is down, fill it to
the full mark again. The engine controls were properly
set at the factory and should require no adjusting when
received.
When hauling the welder between job sites, close the
valve on the water separator.
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 personnel to do this per the instructions in the MAINTENANCE section of this manual.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
Lincoln Electric selects high quality, heavy-duty industrial engines for the portable welding machines we
offer. While it is normal to see a small amount of
crankcase oil consumption during initial operation,
excessive oil use, wetstacking (oil or tar like substance at the exhaust port), or excessive smoke is not
normal.
PIPELINER® 200D KUBOTA
Page 14
B-2
Larger machines with a capacity of 350 amperes and
higher, which are operated at low or no-load conditions for extended periods of time are especially susce ptible to th e co nditions desc ribe d ab ove. To
accomplish successful engine break-in, most dieselpowered equipment needs only to be run at a reasonably heavy load within the rating of the welder for
some period of time during the engine’s early life.
However, if the welder is subjected to extensive light
loading, occasional moderate to heavy loading of the
engine may sometimes be necessary. Caution must
be observed in correctly loading a diesel/generator
unit.
1. Connect the welder output studs to a suitable
resistive load bank. Note that any attempt to
short the output studs by connecting the welding
leads together, direct shorting of the output studs,
or connecting the output leads to a length of steel
will result in catastrophic damage to the generator
and voids the warranty.
2. Set the welder controls for an output current and
voltage within the welder rating and duty cycle.
Note that any attempt to exceed the welder rating
or duty cycle for any period of time will result in
catastrophic damage to the generator and voids
the warranty.
3. Periodically shut off the engine and check the
crankcase oil level.

DUTY CYCLE
The NEMA output rating of the PIPELINER® 200D
KUBOTA is 200 amperes at 28 arc volts on
duty cycle (consult Specifications in this manual
alternate ratings). Duty cycle is based on a ten minute
period; thus, the welder can be loaded at rated output
for six minutes out of every ten minute period.
CONTROL OF WELDING CURRENT
a 60%
for
CAUTION
DO NOT TURN THE “CURRENT RANGE SELECTOR” WHILE WELDING because the current may
arc between the contacts and damage the switch.
The “Current Range Selector” provides five overlapping current ranges. The “Fine Current Adjustment”
adjusts the current from minimum to maximum within
each range. Open circuit voltage is also controlled by
the “Fine Current Adjustment” permitting control of the
arc characteristics.
A high open circuit voltage setting provides the soft
“buttering” arc with best resistance to pop-outs preferred for most welding. To get this characteristic, set
the “Current Range Selector” to the lowest setting that
still provides the current you need and set the “Fine
Current Adjustment” near maximum. For example: to
obtain 175 amps and a soft arc, set the “Current
Range Selector” to the 190-120 position and then
adjust the “Fine Current Adjustment” for 175 amps.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts or
electrode with skin or wet clothing.
When a forceful “digging” arc is required, usually for
vertical and overhead welding, use a higher “Current
Range Selector” setting and lower open circuit voltage. For example: to obtain 175 amps and a forceful
arc, set the “Current Range Selector” to the 240-160
position and the “Fine Current Adjustment” setting to
get 175 amps.
Some arc instability may be experienced with EXX10
electrodes when trying to operate with long arc techniques at settings at the lower end of the open circuit
voltage range.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to set the “Current Range Selector”
between the five points designated on the nameplate.
These switches have a spring loaded cam which
almost eliminates the possibility of setting this switch
between the designated points.

OPERATION
IDLER OPERATION
Start the engine with the “Idler” switch in the “High”
position. Allow it to run at high idle speed for several
minutes to warm the engine. See Specifications for
operating speeds.
The idler is controlled by the “Idler” toggle switch on
the welder control panel. The switch has two positions as follows:
1. In the “High” position, the engine control unit
increases the engine to high idle speed.
2. In the “Auto” / position, the idler oper-
ates as follows:
a. When welding or drawing power for lights or tools
(approximately 100 watts minimum) from the receptacles, the engine operates at high idle speed.
b. When welding ceases or the power load is turned
off, a preset time delay of about 15 seconds starts.
This time delay cannot be adjusted.
B-3
c. If the welding or power load is not re-started before
the end of the time delay, the engine control unit
reduces the engine to low idle speed.
AUXILIARY POWER
1.75 kVA of 120 V DC auxiliary power is availiable at
the receptacle located on the control panel.
When the High Speed Adjustment knob is in the MIN
position, the voltage of the DC auxiliary output may be
reduced to below the rating on the nameplate of the
machine. It is recommended that the High Idle Speed
Adjustment knob should be in the MAX position when
using the DC auxiliary output.
Always replace blown fuse with type rated for DC voltage (i.e. Cooper Bussmann Inc. Model LP-CC-15 or
Littlefuse Model CCMR-15.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance
work. Turn the engine off before working inside
the machine. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform
required maintenance. Remove guards only
when necessary and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.
Do not put your hands near the engine cooling
blower fan. If a problem cannot be corrected by
following the instructions, take the machine to
the nearest Lincoln Field Service Shop.
1. Blow out the welder and controls with an air hose at
least once every two months. In particularly dirty
locations, this cleaning may be necessary once a
week. Use low pressure air to avoid driving dirt into
the insulation.
2. “Current Range Selector” contacts should not be
greased. To keep the contacts clean, rotate the current control through its entire range frequently.
Good practice is to turn the handle from maximum
to minimum setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
3. Put a drop of oil on the “Current Range Selector”
shaft at least once every month.
PIPELINER® 200D KUBOTA
4. When necessary, remove the sediment bowl, if so
equipped, from beneath the fuel tank and clean
out any accumulated dirt and water.
5. Follow the engine service schedule in this manual
and the detailed maintenance and troubleshooting in
the engine manufacturer’s manual.
COOLING SYSTEM
The PIPELINER® 200D KUBOTA is equipped with a
pressure radiator. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system periodically to prevent clogging the passage and
overheating the engine. When antifreeze is needed,
always use the permanent type.
BEARINGS
This welder is equipped with a double-shielded ball
bearing having sufficient grease to last indefinitely
under normal service. Where the welder is used constantly or in excessively dirty locations, it may be necessary to add one half ounce of grease per year. A
pad of grease one inch wide, one inch long, and one
inch high weighs approximately one half ounce. Overgreasing is far worse than insufficient greasing.
When greasing the bearings, keep all dirt out of the
area. Wipe the fittings completely clean and use clean
equipment. More bearing failures are caused by dirt
introduced during greasing than from insufficient
grease.
COMMUTATOR AND BRUSHES
WARNING
Uncovered rotating equipment can be dangerous.
Use care so your hands, hair, clothing or tools do
not catch in the rotating parts. Protect yourself
from particles that may be thrown out by the rotating armature when stoning the commutator.
Periodically inspect the commutator, slip rings, and
brushes by removing the covers. DO NOT remove or
replace these covers while the machine is running.
Commutators and slip rings require little attention.
However, if they are black or appear uneven, have
them cleaned by an experienced maintenance man
using fine sandpaper or a commutator stone. Never
use emery cloth or paper for this purpose.
Page 18
D-2
MAINTENANCE
D-2
Replace brushes when they wear within 1/4”(3.5mm)
of the pigtail. A complete set of replacement brushes
should be kept on hand. Lincoln brushes have a
curved face to fit the commutator. Have an experienced maintenance man seat these brushes by lightly
stoning the commutator as the armature rotates at full
speed until contact is made across the full face of the
brushes. After stoning, blow out the dust with low
pressure air.
Arcing or excessive exciter brush wear indicates a
possible misaligned shaft. Have an authorized Field
Service Shop check and realign the shaft.
IDLER MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Before doing electrical work, disconnect the battery.
When installing a new battery or using a jumper battery to start the engine, be sure the battery polarity is
connected properly. The correct polarity is negative
ground. Damage to the engine alternator and the
Engine Control Unit can result from incorrect connection.
