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.b.Operate engines in open, well-ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
____________________________________________________
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.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 fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and 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 electrode lead around your body.
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.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.

SAFETY
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.

SAFETY
WELDING and CUTTING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion.
6.a. this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjcent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.
6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended Safe Practices for the Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society
(see address above).
6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
6.f. free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
6.h. Also see item 1.c.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area.

SAFETY
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.
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. Un court-circuit 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 dégraissage, nettoyage 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.
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.
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’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au
soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflammables.
4. Des gouttes de laitier en 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.
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.
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR 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.

To prevent dangerous electric shock, other equip­ment to which this engine driven welder supplies power must be grounded to the frame of the welder using a grounded type plug, or be double insulat­ed.
Do not ground the machine to a pipe that carries explosive or combustible material.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some federal, state, or local laws may require that gasoline 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, the K894-1 spark arrester must be installed and properly maintained.
CAUTION
An incorrect arrester may lead to damage to the engine or adversely affect performance.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION
CAUTION
Do not operate a EAGLE 10,000 with a high altitude jet installed at altitudes below 5000 ft. This will result in the engine running too lean and result in higher engine operating temperatures which can shorten engine life.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Contact your local Kohler Authorized Dealer for high altitude jet kits that are available from the engine man­ufacturer.
Muffler Relocation
WARNING
Shut off welder and allow muffler to cool before
touching muffler.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EAGLE 10,000 is shipped with the exhaust com­ing out on the left side. The exhaust can be changed to the opposite side by removing the two screws that hold the exhaust port cover in place and installing the cover on the opposite side. (Operating the EAGLE 10,000 without the cover in place will result in a higher noise level and no increase in machine output.)
LOCATION / VENTILATION
The welder should be located to provide an unrestrict­ed flow of clean, cool air to the cooling air inlets and to avoid heated air coming out of the welder recirculating back to the cooling air inlet. Also, locate the welder so that engine exhaust fumes are properly vented to an outside area.
STACKING
EAGLE 10,000 machines cannot be stacked.
Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC Return to Section TOC
If the EAGLE 10,000 will be consistently operated at altitudes above 5000 ft, a carburetor jet designed for high altitudes should be installed. This will result in bet­ter fuel economy, cleaner exhaust, and longer spark plug life. It will not decreased at higher altitudes.

AUXILIARY POWER
The EAGLE 10,000 can provide up to 9,000 watts of 120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power for contin­uous use, and up to 10,000 watts of 120/240 volts AC, single phase 60Hz power peak use. The front of the machine includes three receptacles for connecting the AC power plugs; one 50 amp 120/240 volt NEMA 14­50R receptacle and two 20 amp 120 volt NEMA 5-20R receptacles. Output voltage is within +/-10% at all loads up to rated capacity. See Table I for more infor­mation.
CAUTION
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the power receptacles in parallel.

120/240 VOLT DUAL VOLTAGE RECEPTACLE
The 120/240 volt receptacle can supply up to 38 amps of 240 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 38 amps of 120 volts power from each side of a three wire cir­cuit (up to 76 amps total). Do not connect the 120 volt circuits in parallel. Current sensing for the automatic idle feature is only in one leg of the three wire circuit as shown in the following column.
EAGLE 10,000 Extension Cord Length Recommendations
(Use the shortest length extension cord possible sized per the following table.)
The 120V auxiliary power receptacles should only be used with three wire grounded type plugs or approved double insulated tools with two wire plugs.
The current rating of any plug used with the system must be at least equal to the current load through the associated receptacle.
MOTOR STARTING
Most 1.5 hp AC single phase motors can be started if there is no load on the motor or other load connected to the machine, since the full load current rating of a
1.5 hp motor is approximately 20 amperes (10
amperes for 240 volt motors). The motor may be run at full load when plugged into only one side of the duplex receptacle. Larger motors through 2 hp can be run pro­vided the receptacle rating as previously stated is not exceeded. This may necessitate 240V operation only.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The EAGLE™10,000 is a twin-cylinder, gasoline driven, multi-process arc welder and AC power generator. It is built in a heavy gauge steel case for durability on the job site.
WELDER CONTROLS - FUNCTION AND OPERATION
ENGINE SWITCH
The engine switch is used to Start the Engine, Select High Idle or Auto Idle while the engine is running, and stop the Engine.
When placed in the “OFF” position, the ignition circuit is de-energized to shut down the engine.
When held in the “START” position, the engine starter motor is energized.
When in “HIGH IDLE” ( ) position, the engine will run continuously at high idle.
When in “AUTO IDLE” ( / ) position, the engine will run continuously and the idler operates as follows:
Welding
When the electrode touches the work, the welding arc is initiated and the engine accelerates to full speed.
After welding ceases (and no auxiliary power is being drawn), the engine will return to low idle after approximately 10 to 14 seconds.
Auxiliary Power
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately 100-150 watts or greater) from the receptacles, the engine will accelerate to high speed. If no power is being drawn from the receptacles (and not welding) for 10-14 seconds, the idler reduces the engine speed to low idle.

It is normal for any engine to use a greater amount of oil until the break-in is accomplished. Check the oil level twice a day during the break-in period (approxi­mately 50 running hours).
IMPORTANT: 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 BEFORE SHUTDOWN.
The engine manufacturer’s recommendation for the running time until the first oil change is as follows: The oil filter is to be changed at the second oil change.

Turn the engine switch to the “start” position and crank the engine until it starts. Release the switch as soon as the engine starts, slowly return the choke control to the full “in” position (choke open), and turn the switch to the Auto Idle( / ) position. Do not turn the switch to the “start” position while the engine is running because this will cause damage to the ring gear and/or starter motor
After running at high engine speed for 10-14 seconds, the engine will go to low idle. Allow the engine to warm up by letting it run at low idle for a few minutes.

OPERATION
WELDING PROCESS
For any electrodes the procedures should be kept with­in the rating of the machine. For electrode information
see the appropriate Lincoln publication.
Stick (Constant Current) Welding
Connect welding cables to the “+” and “-” studs. Start the engine. The “RANGE” switch markings indicate the maximum current for that range as well as the typical electrode size for that range. The “OUTPUT” Control provides fine adjustment of the welding current within the select range. For maximum output within a select­ed range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 10. For mini­mum output within a selected range set the “OUTPUT” Control at 5. (“OUTPUT” Control settings below 5 may reduce arc stability) For best overall welding perfor­mance set the “RANGE” Switch to the lowest setting and the OUTPUT” Control near the maximum to achieve the desired welding current.

TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING
The K930-[ ] TIG Module installed on a EAGLE 10,000 provides high frequency and shielding gas control for GTAW (TIG) welding processes. Output Control is from the Eagle 10,000. The control on the TIG Module is not functional. After flow time is adjustable from 0 to 55 seconds. A K814 Arc Start Switch is required.
The K930-[ ] TIG Module should be used with the EAGLE 10,000 on HIGH IDLE to maintain satisfactory operation. It can be used in the AUTO position but the delay going to low idle after welding is ceased will be increased if the AFTER FLOW CONTROL is set above 10 seconds. A K814 Arc Start Switch is required.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
Have qualified personnel do the maintenance work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some ca ses, it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintena nce requi ring thei r 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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENGINE EXHAUST can kill.
• Use in open, well ventilated areas or vent exhaust outside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
MOVING PARTS can injure.
• Do not operate with doors open or guards off.
• Stop engine before servicing.
• Keep away from moving parts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
See additional warning information
throughout this operator’s manual and the Engine manual as well.
------------------------------------------------------------
Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this man­ual and the engine instruction manual before working on this machine.
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers, and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, cloth­ing, and tools away from gears, fans, and all other moving parts when starting, operating, or repairing the equipment.
CAUTION
Make certain that the oil filler cap is securely tight­ened after checking or adding oil. If the cap is not tight, oil consumption can increase significantly which may be evidenced by white smoke coming from the exhaust.
• OIL - Maintenance schedule for changing the oil and
oil filter after break-in :
Kohler
CH20S or CH23S
Oil 100 Hrs.
Oil Filter 200 Hrs.
The above schedule is for normal operating conditions. More frequent oil changes are required with dusty, high temperature and other severe operating conditions. Refer to the maintenance section of the Engine Owner's Manual for more information.
: Engine life will be reduced if the oil and oil fil-
NOTE
ter are not changed according to the manufac­turer’s recommendation.
ENGINE OIL CHANGE
Drain the oil while the engine is warm to assure rapid and complete draining.
• Remove the oil filler cap and dipstick. Remove the yellow cap from the oil drain valve and attach the flex­ible drain tube supplied with the machine. Push in and twist the drain valve counterclockwise. Pull the valve out and drain the oil into a suitable container.
• Close the drain valve by pushing in and twisting clockwise. Replace the yellow cap.
• Refill to the upper limit mark on the dipstick with the recommended oil. Tighten the oil filler cap securely.

MAINTENANCE
Use 4-stroke motor oil that meets or exceeds the requirements for API service classification SG or SH. Always check the API SERVICE label on the oil con­tainer to be sure it includes the letters SG or SH.
SAE 10W-30 is recommended for general, all-temper­ature use, -5 F to 104 F (-20 C to 40 C).
See Engine Owner’s Manual for more specific infor­mation on oil viscosity recommendations.
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling used oil.
Please dispose of used motor oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. We suggest you take it in a sealed container to your local service station or recycling center for reclamation.
Do not throw it in the trash, pour it on the ground or down a drain.
OIL FILTER CHANGE
1. Drain the engine oil.
AIR CLEANER AND OTHER MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner - With normal operating conditions, the maintenance schedule for cleaning and re-oiling the foam pre-filter is every 25 hours and replace­ment of the air cleaner filter every 100 hours. More frequent servicing is required with dusty operating conditions. Refer to the maintenance section of the Engine Owner’s Manual for more information.
Refer to the maintenance section of the Engine Owner’s Manual for the maintenance schedule, spark plug servicing, cooling system servicing, and fuel filter replacement.
Blow out the machine with low pressure air peri­odically. In particularly dirty locations, this may be required once a week.
• Output Eagle Selector and Polarity Switches:
Switch contacts should not be greased. To keep contacts clean, rotate the switch through its entire range frequently. Good practice is to turn the handle from maximum to minimum setting twice each morning before starting to weld.
2. Remove the oil filter, and drain the oil into a suitable container. Discard the used oil filter.
3. Clean the filter mounting base, and coat the gasket of the new oil filter with clean engine oil.
4. Screw on the new oil filter by hand, until the gasket contacts the filter mounting base, then use an oil fil­ter socket tool to tighten the filter an additional 1/2 to 7/8 turn.
5. Refill the crankcase with the specified amount of the recommended oil. Reinstall the oil filler cap.
6. Start the engine and check for oil filter leaks.
7. Stop the engine, and check the oil level. If neces­sary, add oil to the upper limit mark on the dipstick.
