SECTION 3 − SPECIFICATIONS
3-1. Important Information Regarding CE Products (Sold Within The EU)
A. Information On Electromagnetic Fields (EMF)

! This equipment shall not be used by the general public as the EMF limits for the general public might be exceeded during welding.
This equipment is built in accordance with EN 60974−1 and is intended to be used only in an occupational environment (where the general public
access is prohibited or regulated in such a way as to be similar to occupational use) by an expert or an instructed person.
Wire feeders and ancillary equipment (such as torches, liquid cooling systems and arc striking and stabilizing devices) as part of the welding
circuit may not be a major contributor to the EMF. See the Owner’s Manuals for all components of the welding circuit for additional EMF exposure
information.

 The EMF assessment on this equipment was conducted at 0.5 meter.

 At a distance of 1 meter the EMF exposure values were less than 20% of the permissible values.
B. Information On Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

! This Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low−
voltage supply system. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in those locations, due to
conducted as well as radiated disturbances.

SECTION 12 − RUN-IN PROCEDURE
run_in1 2007−04

12-1. Wetstacking
NOTICE − Do not perform run-in
procedure at less than 20 volts
weld output and do not exceed duty
cycle or equipment damage may
occur.
1 Welding Generator
2 Run diesel engines near rated volt-
age and current during run-in period
to properly seat piston rings and
prevent wetstacking. See name-
plate, rating label, or specifications
section in this manual to find rated
voltage and current.
NOTICE − Do not idle engine longer
than necessary. Piston rings seat
faster if engine runs at weld/power
rpm, and the welding generator is
kept loaded during run-in.
1
2 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Wetstacking is unburned fuel and
oil in the exhaust pipe and occurs
during run-in if the engine is run too
long at light load or idle rpm.
If exhaust pipe is coated with a wet,
black, tar-like substance, dry the
engine using one of the following
run-in procedures.
See the engine manual for addition-
al engine run-in information.

TM-4435 Page 66 Big Blue 400 CX


12-2. Run-In Procedure Using Load Bank
! Stop engine.
! Do not touch hot exhaust
pipe, engine parts, or load
bank/grid.
4 ! Keep exhaust and pipe away
from flammables.
2 NOTICE − Do not perform run-in
procedure at less than 20 volts weld
1 output and do not exceed duty
cycle or equipment damage may
occur.
1 Load Bank
Turn all load bank switches Off. If
needed, connect load bank to 115
volts ac wall receptacle or genera-
tor auxiliary power receptacle.
2 Welding Generator
Place A/V range switch in maxi-
mum position, A/V control in mini-
mum position, and Output Selector
switch (if present) in either DC
position.
3 Weld Cables
Connect load bank to generator
weld output terminals using proper
size weld cables with correct
connectors. Observe correct
polarity.
Start engine and run for several
3 minutes.
Set load bank switches and then
adjust generator A/V control so
load equals rated voltage and
current of generator (see name-
plate, rating label, or the specifi-
cations section in this manual).
Check generator and load bank
meters after first five minutes then
every fifteen minutes to be sure
generator is loaded properly.
NOTICE − Check oil level frequent-
ly during run-in; add oil if needed.
It is recommended to run the weld-
ing generator for two hours mini-
mum and up to four hours under
load. Place A/V control in minimum
position, then turn off load bank to
remove load. Run engine several
minutes at no load.
! Stop engine and let cool.
4 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Repeat procedure if wetstacking is
present.

12-3. Run-In Procedure Using Resistance Grid

! Stop engine.
! Do not touch hot exhaust
pipe, engine parts, or load
bank/grid.
6
! Keep exhaust and pipe away
from flammables.
2
NOTICE − Do not perform run-in
procedure at less than 20 volts weld
output and do not exceed duty
cycle or equipment damage may
occur.
1 Resistance Grid
Use grid sized for generator rated
1 output.
Turn Off grid.
2 Welding Generator
Place A/V range switch in maxi-
mum position, A/V control in mini-
mum position, and Output Selector
switch (if present) in either DC
position.
3 Weld Cables
Connect grid to generator weld
output terminals using proper size
weld cables with correct connec-
tors (polarity is not important).
4 Voltmeter
5 Clamp-On Ammeter
Connect voltmeter and ammeter as
3 5 shown, if not provided on generator.
Start engine and run for several
minutes.
Set grid switches and then ad-
just generator A/V control so
load equals rated voltage and
4 current of the generator (see
nameplate, rating label, or the
specifications section in this
manual).
+ Check generator and meters after
first five minutes then every fifteen
minutes to be sure generator is
loaded properly.
NOTICE − Check oil level frequent-
ly during run-in; add oil if needed.
It is recommended to run the weld-
ing generator for two hours mini-
mum and up to four hours under
load. Place A/V control in minimum
position, then shut down grid to
remove load. Run engine several
minutes at no load.
! Stop engine and let cool.
6 Engine Exhaust Pipe
Repeat procedure if wetstacking is
present.
