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 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.
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 below Threshold Limit Values (TLV)
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.
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.c. 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.
5.d. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this
equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your

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.
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. 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
PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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.
Always operate the welder with the roof and case
sides in place as this provides maximum protection from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.
A-3
When this welder is mounted on a truck or trailer, it’s
frame must be securely connected to the metal frame
of the vehicle.
Where this engine driven welder is connected to
premises wiring such as that in your home or shop, it’s
frame must be connected to the system earth ground.
See further connection instructions in the section entitled “Standby Power Connections”, as well as the article on grounding in the latest U.S. National Electrical
Code and the local code.
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
Electrical Code lists a number of alternate means of
grounding electrical equipment. A machine grounding
stud marked with the symbol is provided on the
front of the welder.
SP ARK ARRESTER
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.
Read and understand all Safety Precautions
before operating this machine. Always follow
these and any other safety procedures included in
this manual and in the Engine Owner’s Manual.
MACHINE
GROUNDING
Because this portable engine driven welder or generator creates it’s own power, it is not necessary to connect it’s frame to an earth ground, unless the machine
is connected to premises wiring (your home, shop,
etc.).
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.
TRAILERS
The recommended trailer for use with this equipment
for road, in plant and yard towing by a vehicle
Lincoln’s K957-1. If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, they 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 concidered are as follows:
Design capacity of trailer vs. weight of Lincoln

ANGLE OF OPERATION
Internal combustion engines are designed to run in a
level condition which is where the optimum performance is achieved. The maximum angle of operation
for the engine is 15 degrees from horizontal in any
direction. If the engine is to be operated at an angle,
provisions must be made for checking and maintaining the oil at the normal (FULL) oil capacity in the
crankcase in a level condition.
When operating at an angle, the effective fuel capacity will be slightly less than the specified 10 gallons.
HIGH AL TITUDE OPERA TION

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.
WARNING
• Damage to the fuel tank may cause
fire or explosion. Do not drill holes
in the ZR-10 base or weld to the
ZR-10 base.
If the ZR-10 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

give increased power which is
CAUTION
Do not operate a ZR-10 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.
High altitude jet kits are available from the engine
manufacturer.

STARTING / SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
STARTING THE ENGINE
WARNING
• Do not touch electrically live parts
of electrode with skin or wet
clothing.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Insulate yourself from work and
ground. Wear eye, ear, and body
protection.
“CONTROL” SWITCH
Provides a fine welding current adjustment within the
Range Switch settings in the STICK/TIG mode and
welding voltage control with the Range switch set in
the wire feed mode.
“IDLER” SWITCH
The idler switch has two positions, “HIGH” and
“AUTO”.
When in “HIGH” ( ) position, the engine will run
continuously at high idle.
When in “AUTO” ( / ) idle position, 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 16 seconds.
• AUXILIARY POWER
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• Use ventilation or exhaust to
remove fumes from breathing zone.
Be sure all Pre-Operation Maintenance has been performed. Also, read the Engine Owner’s Manual.
Remove all loads connected to the AC power receptacles. To start the engine, set the “Idler Control” switch
in the Automatic ( / ) position.
Use the choke control as follows:
Honda Engine - Always pull the choke control out
when starting the engine; cold. Place the “Engine”
switch in the “ON” position.
Push the “START” button and crank the engine until it
starts. Release the button as soon as the engine
starts. Do not push the “START” button while the
engine is running because this will cause damage to
the ring gear and/or starter motor. After the engine
has started, slowly return the choke control to the full
“in” position (choke open).
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.
With the engine running at low idle and auxiliary
power for lights or tools is drawn (approximately
100-150 watts or greater or 1500W on 460v 3ø)
from the receptacles, the engine will accelerate to
high speed. If no power is being drawn from the
receptacles (and not welding) for 10-16 seconds,
the idler reduces the engine speed to low idle.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Remove all welding and auxiliary power loads and
allow engine to run at low idle speed for a few minutes
to cool the engine.
Stop the engine by placing the “Engine” switch in the
“OFF” position.
A fuel shut off valve is not required on the ZR-10
because the fuel tank is mounted below the engine.

WELDING PROCESS
STICK (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING
Connect welding cables to the "TO WORK” and
"ELECTRODE” studs. Start the engine. Set the
"Polarity” switch to the desired polarity. Set the
“RANGE” switch to a setting that is equal to or slightly
greater than the desired welding current. (The
“RANGE” dial marking indicates the maximum
for that range). Fine adjustment of the welding current
is made by adjusting the output “CONTROL” or
remote control. For best arc stability, use settings 5
through 10.
The ZR-10 can be used with a broad range of AC and
DC stick electrodes. See “Welding Tips 1” included
with the ZR-10 for electrodes within the rating of this
unit and recommended welding currents of each.
TIG (CONSTANT CURRENT) WELDING
The K930-1 TIG Module installed on a ZR-10 provides
high frequency and shielding gas control for AC and
DC GTAW (TIG) welding processes. The TIG Module
allows full range output control. Afterflow time is
adjustable from 0 to 55 seconds.

The ZR-10 can provide up to 9,000 watts of 115/230
volts AC, single phase 60Hz power, or 460 Volts,3
phase, 60 Hz for continuous use. The front of the
machine includes four receptacles for connecting the
AC power plugs; one 20 amp 460 volt 3 phase NEMA,
one 50 amp 115/230 volt NEMA 14-50R receptacle
and two 20 amp 115 volt NEMA 5-20R receptacles.
Do not use 3 phase power and single phase power
simultaneously.
B-5
460 Volt 3 Phase Receptacle with Ground
The 460 volt receptacle can supply 12.5 amps of 3
phase power, or up to 15 amps of single phase power.
A NEMA plug L16-20P is required to use this receptacle. The ground (GND) connection is connected to the
machine frame, it is NOT the neutral of the three
phase connection, and should under no circumstances be connected to the neutral of any 3 phase
load. Do not connect 460V 3 phase to premises
wiring.
CAUTION
Do not connect any plugs that connect to the power
receptacles in parallel.
Start the engine and set the “IDLER” control switch to
the desired operating mode. Set the “CONTROL” to
10. Voltage is now correct at the receptacles for auxiliary power.
WARNING
A qualified person must make connections to plugs.
Connect each wire of the cord to the proper plug terminal, especially ground.
115/230 Volt Dual Voltage Receptacle
The 115/230 volt receptacle can supply up to 39
amps of 230 volt power to a two wire circuit, up to 39
amps of 115 volts power from each side of a three
wire circuit (up to 78 amps total). Do not connect the
115 volt circuits in parallel.
If 460 volt single phase load is to be run, the X lead
must be one of the leads in the circuit in order for the
automatic idle to function. Using a NEMA plug L1620P, connect either X and Y or X and Z to the receptacle, as well as the machine ground.
All auxiliary power is protected by circuit breakers with
the following values:
The 115V has 15 amp circuit breakers for each plug of
the duplex receptacle. The 230V has 50 amp circuit
breakers for each hot lead going the 230V receptacle.
The 460V 3 phase circuit breakers / switch has a 3
phase, 15 amp circuit breaker.

Ground Wire
Periodically check the ground wire at plugs, power
cords and auxiliary loads to ensure that the grounding
circuit is intact and connected.
115 V Duplex Receptacles
The 115V 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 (Refer to Tables I and II). Do
not attempt to connect power receptacles in parallel.
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 230 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 230V operation
only.
The 460 volt 3 phase output of the ZR-10 is capable
of running most 460VAC 3 phase motors up to 10HP.
A 10HP motor must be started with no load on the
motor and no other load connected to the machine,
since the full load current of a 10HP 460VAC 3 phase
motor is approximately 12.5 amps. Refer to the reconnect phase output to any load, the ground at the 3
phase receptacle is NOT the neutral of 3 phase con-
nection, and should under no circumstance be connected to the neutral of any 3 phase load.

AUXILLIARY POWER WHILE WELDING
It must be noted that the above auxiliary power ratings
are with no welding load. Simultaneous welding and
power loads are permitted by following Table III. The
permissible currents shown assume that current is
being drawn from either the 115V or 230V supply (not
both at the same time). Also, the “Output Control” is
set at “10” for maximum auxiliary power.
• Take necessary steps to assure load is limited to
the capacity of the ZR-10 by installing a 35 amp
230V double pole circuit breaker. Maximum rated
load for the 230V auxiliary is 35 amperes. Loading
above 35 amperes will reduce output voltage below
the allowable-10% of rated voltage which may damage appliances or other motor-driven equipment.
• Install a 50 amp 115/230V plug (NEMA type 14-
50)to the Double Pole Circuit Breaker using No. 8, 4
conductor cable of the desired length. (The50 amp
115/230V plug is available in the optional plug kit.)
• Plug this cable into the 50 amp 115/230V receptacle
on the ZR-10 case front.
STANDBY POWER CONNECTIONS
The ZR-10 is suitable for temporary, standby, or emergency power using the engine manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.
The ZR-10 can be permanently installed as a standby
power unit for 230V-3 wire, single phase 35 ampere
service.
WARNING
(Connections must be made by a licensed electrician who can determine how the 115/230V power
can be adapted to the particular installation and
comply with all applicable electrical codes.)
The following information can be used as a guide
by the electrician for most applications (refer also
to the connection diagram shown in Figure 1.)
• Install a double pole, double throw switch between
the power company meter and the premises disconnect.
• Switch rating must be the same or greater than the
customer’s premises disconnect and service overcurrent protection.

MAINTENANCE
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.
• At the end of each day’s use, refill the fuel tank to
minimize moisture condensation in the tank.
Running out of fuel tends to draw dirt into the fuel
system. Also, check the crankcase oil level and add
oil if indicated.
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:
