The Above For Gasoline Engines
FOR ENGINE
powered equipment.
1.a. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance
work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame
welding arc or when the engine is running.
Stop the engine and allow it to cool before
refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and
igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If
fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start
engine until fumes have been eliminated.
1.d. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in
position and in good repair.Keep hands, hair, clothing and
tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all other moving
parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
1.e. 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.
1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.
Do not attempt to override the governor or
idler by pushing on the throttle control rods
while the engine is running.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.
ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous
2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines
2.b. EMF fi elds m ay interf ere wi th some pacemak ers, a nd
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.
2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.
2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
2.d.1.
Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.
2.d.2. Never coil the e lectr ode lead around your body.
2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while
turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.
2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.
2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

ELECTRIC SHOCK can
kill.
3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.
3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.
In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
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,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
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. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
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 gases. 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
welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical
ventilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding
on galvanized steel.
5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected
by various factors including proper use and positioning of
the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker
exposure level should be checked upon installation and
periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable
OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
5.c.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and
cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

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 LʼArc
1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:
a. Les circuits à lʼélectrode 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 sʼisoler 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 lʼeau 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 sʼapplicuent 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 nʼimporte 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 lʼon pique le laitier.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque dʼincendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé de
la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque dʼincendie.
8. Sʼassurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail quʼil est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou dʼautres
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 dʼincendie ou dʼechauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusquʼà ce quʼils 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
dʼopérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de lʼarc 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 dʼarc peut être plus sévère quʼun coup de soliel,
donc:
a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié
ainsi quʼun verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du rayonnement de lʼarc et des projections quand on soude ou
quand on regarde lʼarc.
b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la
peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
lʻarc.
c. Protéger lʼautre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à lʼaide dʼécrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de lʼarc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection libres
de lʼhuile, 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
lʼélectricité 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, Iʼinstallation et lʼentretien du poste seront
effectués par un électricien qualifié.
3. Avant de faires des travaux à lʼinterieur de poste, la debrancher à lʼinterrupteur 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 manufacturerʼs
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 be covered with a steel plate at least
.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 has been effectively grounded. 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.

WARNING
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you
have thoroughly read the engine manufacturerʼs
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.
STARTING THE PIPELINER 200D KUBOTA V2203M
DIESEL ENGINE
1. Turn the “IDLER” switch to “HIGH”.
2. Turn the “IGNITION” switch to “ON”.
3. Press the Glow Plug button for 20 to 30 seconds.
(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.
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 dayʼs 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.
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.
conditions should ether or other
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 susceptible to the conditions described above. 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 engineʼs 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 available 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 manufacturerʼs 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.
PURGING AIR FROM FUEL SYSTEM
(KUBOTA V2203M ENGINE)
WARNING
Keep fuel clear of open flames or arcs, allow
engine to cool before working on the fuel system.
Wipe up any spilled fuel and do not start engine
until fumes clear.
If the engine is running rough and you suspect air has
been trapped in the fuel system, (e.g. the engine was
allowed to run out of fuel) perform the following steps
using qualified personnel:
1. Fully open the air bleeding valve by turning it
counter clockwise, it is located on top of the fuel
injection pump next to the oil filler. (see figure D.1)
Air Bleeding
Valve
1. Proper operation of the idler requires good
grounding of the Engine Control Unit, current
sensing printed circuit board and battery.
2. If desired, the welder can be used without automat-
ic idling by setting the “Idler” switch to the “High”
position.
NAMEPLATES
Whenever routine maintenance is performed on this
machine - or at least yearly - inspect all nameplates
and labels for legibility. Replace those which are no
longer clear. Refer to the parts list for the replacement item number.
FIGURE D.1
2. Turn the engine by pressing the start button until
the engine runs smoothly (this should take approximately 10 seconds).
3. Fully close the air bleeding valve by turning it
clockwise.
Contact your Kubota Engine repair facility if problems
persist.
