Classic features such as improved door latches and stainless hinges. With the addition of the optional K623-1 Wire Feed Module ™ , the Classic 300 D will provide constant voltage output for running the LN-7, LN-23P, or LN-25 wire feeders. (The Wire Feed Module is factory installed on the K1643-2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Machine Grounding 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.
TRAILER (See Optional Features) If the user adapts a non-Lincoln trailer, he must assume responsibility that the method of attachment and usage does not result in a safety hazard nor dam- age the welding equipment. Some of the factors to be considered are as follows: 1.
• To prevent BATTERY BUCKLING, tighten nuts on battery clamp until snug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Classic 300 D is equipped with a wet charged battery. The charging current is automatically regulat- ed when the battery is low (after starting the engine) to a trickle current when the battery is fully charged.
Operate the welder with the doors closed. Leaving the doors open changes the designed air flow and can cause overheating. Starting the Classic 300 D Perkins 104-22 Diesel Engine Turn the “IDLER” switch to “HIGH”. Turn the “IGNITION” switch to “ON”.
ARC RAYS can burn. • Wear eye, ear, and body protection. Duty Cycle The NEMA output rating of the Classic 300 D is 300 amperes at 32 arc volts on a 60% duty cycle (consult Specifications in this manual for alternate ratings).
OPERATION Auxiliary Power The AC auxiliary power, supplied as a standard, has a rating of 3.0 kVA of 115/230 VAC (60 hertz). With the 3.0 kVA, 115/230 VAC auxiliary power, one 115V duplex and one 230V duplex, grounding type receptacle are provided. The circuit is protected with circuit breakers.
The use of an arc welder for pipe thawing is not approved by the CSA, nor is it recommended or supported by Lincoln Electric. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Power Plug Kit (K802D) - A power plug kit for the auxiliary power receptacles is available.

Wire Feed Module (K623-1) - Provides constant voltage (CV) output with improved arc stability for Innershield welding. Excellent for MIG welding. Recommended wire feeders are the LN-7, LN-23P and LN-25. (Factory installed on the K1643-2). LN-25 Wire Feeder K449-Portable CC/CV unit for flux-cored and MIG welding.
Cooling System The Classic 300 D is equipped with a pressure radia- tor. Keep the radiator cap tight to prevent loss of coolant. Clean and flush the cooling system periodi- cally to prevent clogging the passage and overheating the engine.
Replace brushes when they wear within 1/4” 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 mainte- nance 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.

GFCI RECEPTACLE TESTING AND RESET- TING PROCEDURE The GFCI receptacle should be properly tested at least once every month or whenever it is tripped. To properly test and reset the GFCI receptacle: • If the receptacle has tripped, first carefully remove any load and check it for damage.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING Have qualified personnel do the troubleshooting work. Turn the engine off before working inside the machine. In some cases, it may be neces- sary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is com- plete.
WELDER TROUBLESHOOTING TROUBLE Machine fails to hold the output (heat) consistently. Welder starts but fails to generate current. FLASHING THE FIELDS: Stop the engine welder and remove the cover from the exciter. Turn the “Fine Current Adjustment” (rheostat) to “100” on the dial. Using a 12 volt automotive battery, connect it’s negative terminal to the negative brushholder.
