• Have qualified personnel do all maintenance and
troubleshooting work.
• Turn the engine off before working inside the

• Remove covers or guards only when necessary to
perform maintenance and replace them when the
maintenance requiring their removal is complete.
• If covers or guards are missing from the machine,
get replacements from a Lincoln Distributor. See the
Exploded View and Parts List
at the back of this
manual.
Read the Safety Precautions in the front of this manu-
al and in the instruction manual for the diesel engine
used with your machine before working on the Classic

ROUTINE AND PERIODIC
MAINTENANCE
NOTE: 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.
ENGINE MAINTENANCE
To prevent the engine from accidentally starting, dis-
connect the positive battery cable before servicing the
engine.
See Table D.1 for a summary of maintenance intervals
for the items listed below. Follow either the hourly or
the calendar intervals, whichever come first. More fre-
quent service may be required, depending on your spe-
cific application and operating conditions.
OIL: Check the oil level after every 10
hours of operation or daily. BE SURE
TO MAINTAIN THE OIL LEVEL.
Change the oil the first time after 50 hours of opera-
tion. Then, under normal operating conditions, change
the oil as specified in Table D.1. If the engine is oper-
ated under heavy load or in high ambient tempera-
tures, change the oil more frequently.
CHANGE THE OIL: Change the oil, while the engine
is still warm, as follows:
1 . Drain the oil from the drain plug located on the
engine bottom, as shown in Figure D.1.
2. Replace the plug and tighten it securely.
3. Remove the oil fill cap and add oil until the level
reaches the upper dash full mark on the dipstick.
Use high quality detergent oil of API service class
CC/CD/CE, oil viscosity grade 10W30. Always
check the level with the dipstick before adding
more oil.
4. Reinstall the oil fill cap and the dipstick.
