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 vaporiz-
ing 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

WARNING
Mar ‘95
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.
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.
1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.

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.
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.
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
vapors
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
to
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
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
5.e. Also see item 1.b.

8.b. Install equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
8.c. Ground the equipment in accordance with the U.S. National
Electrical Code and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
CYLINDER may explode
if damaged.
7.a. Use only compressed gas cylinders
containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating
regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for
the application and maintained in good condition.
7.b. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
7.c. Cylinders should be located:
•Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage.
•A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and
any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
7.d. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other
electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder.
7.e. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet
when opening the cylinder valve.
7.f. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand
tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for
use.
7.g. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas
cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l,
“Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in
Cylinders,” available from the Compressed Gas Association
1235 Jefferson Davis Highway, Arlington, VA 22202.

SAFETY
iii
Mar ‘95
WELDING SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.
6.a.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If 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 adjacent 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
though
they have
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
Preparation
for Welding and Cutting of
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.
6.f.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil
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 cir-
cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ
Pour
votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instruc-
tions 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 soud-
er 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.
2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se pro-
téger 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-inflamma-
bles.
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.
6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.
7. Quand on ne soud
e 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 lev-
age, 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 forte-
ment 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.
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 dis-
positif 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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The X-Tractor 3G is a self contained system for the removal
and filtration of welding fume particles and other point
source particulate. It is a high vacuum, low volume system
which also automatically cleans the filter cartridge. It is suit-
able for heavy duty welding applications and continuous
use, powered by a three phase AC blower. A cooling fan
assists in cooling the blower.
The X-Tractor 3G is designed to supply suction for up to
three fume guns or small suction heads.
Air enters the system through a 3" OD connection on the
side of the machine. It then passes through the filter, leav-
ing fume particles on the outside of the cartridge. This par-
ticulate free air then passes through the blower and exits
through a silencer at the top of the machine. (An optional
external silencer is also available - order K1534-1).
Timers signal a jet-pulse of compressed air that shakes the
particulate from the outside surface of the filter bag onto the
bottom of the canister. This air jet is released from a tank of
compressed air that is pressurized externally through a fit-
ting on the front of the machine.
Vacuum level depends upon the amount of airflow through
the blower. The more airflow, the lower the suction. As the
airflow decreases, relief valves in the machine allow air to
enter the system, preventing overheating in the blower. If
overheating does occur, the machine will shut down before
damaging the blower.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Only qualified personnel should install, use or service
this equipment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connect the unit to three phase AC (60HZ) input
power according to all applicable codes and stan-
dards.
When installing the X-Tractor 3G - Slip the input cable
between the shelf and the sound insulation foam on the side
panel, and route it to the starter/overload box. For easier
access to the starter/overload box, remove the outside
cover from the box and detach the starter/overload from the
mounting rail. To do this, press the starter/overload down,
and rotate the bottom toward you. To remount, catch the
starter/overload on the top rail and rotate the bottom toward
the bottom rail; it will snap in place.
Turn the X-Tractor 3G on. If the air is blowing out of
the inlet, switch two of the input leads to reverse the
direction of the blower.
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Install on a flat, level surface. Connect 90 PSI of
clean, dry, compressed air to the foster plug in the
front of the machine.

ARC RAYS can burn.
•Wear eye, ear and body protection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Although the removal of the particu-
late matter from welding smoke may
reduce the ventilation requirement,
concentrations of the clear exhausted
fumes and gases may still be haz-
ardous to health. Avoid breathing
concentrations of these fumes and
gases. Use adequate ventilation
when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub-
lished by the American Welding
Society.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only qualified personnel should operate this equip-
ment.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always operate this equipment with the filters installed
and covers in place as these provide maximum pro-
tection from moving parts and insure proper vacuum
operation and cooling air flow.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When a qualified individual has connected the X-Tractor
3G to input power, and when the compressed air has
been connected, turn the machine on. The X-Tractor 3G
provides enough suction for up to three fume guns or
small suction heads.
Timers in the control panel will trigger the jet-pulse fil-
ter cleaning. This time can be adjusted on timer T1 in
the control panel. See the MAINTENANCE section.
Disconnect the machine from input power before
opening the cover or the control panel. Enclose the
control panel and clamp down the cover before restor-
ing input power to the machine.

WARNING
WARNING
C-1
MAINTENANCE
C-1
Before any service or maintenance work is carried
out, the following safety precautions must be
observed.
- Main power supply must be switched off and locked
in the “OFF” position. A warning sign must be put on
the switch to be sure that no one enters the start
cabinet or tries to switch on the power supply.
- Always follow the warning stickers on the unit.
- Do not remove any protective guards before all mov-
ing parts have stopped.
- All service and maintenance must be done by quali-
fied individuals.
- Always use spare parts as described in the Spare
Part List or Lincoln Electric Brown Parts Book.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Since the X-Tractor 3G is a three-phase, brushless
system with automatic filter cleaning, maintenance is
minimal. Periodic disposal of the particulate should
be the only routine maintenance. The motor bearings
are permanently lubricated.
EMPTYING THE PARTICULATE BIN
The particulate matter collected in the canister may be
dangerous to your health. Take necessary precau-
tions so that you and your fellow workers do not
breathe the dust and particulate. Wear a suitable res-
pirator when disposing of the particulate.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check with local authorities for regulations governing
the disposal of this material.
REPLACING THE FILTER
The filter is a long life, polyester filter designed to be
repeatedly cleaned by the X-Tractor’s automatic jet
pulse cycle. Therefore, it should need replacement
only after an extended period of time. Certain applica-
tions can reduce this period, especially very oily
smoke or excessive moisture. Replacement is neces-
sary when, after several cycles, the suction perfor-
mance of the system is still lower than normal.
Overall filter life depends on a great number of vari-
ables such as type of smoke, duty cycle, operating
factor, capture efficiency, etc.
When replacing the filter, peel back the rubber seals
that seal the canister to the unit. Slide the canister out
of the cacinet. Unlock the canister clamp and lift the
lid. Unscrew the nut under the filter, remove the filter,
install a new filter and replace the nut. Replace the lid
on the canister and clamp down.
The canister should be emptied on a regular basis.
Frequency of emptying depends upon a number of
factors such as the type of welding fume and the fre-
quency of use. In many cases, a good procedure
would be to empty the canister once per month.
TIMER FOR FILTER CLEANING
(See Figure C.1 for timer illustration) The Cleaning
cycle is controlled by the adjustable timer. Cleaning
frequency can be adjusted by setting the Pause Time
(time between pulses). Pause Time is adjustable from
2 to 45 minutes. Pulse Duration can also be adjusted
from 0.2 to 30 seconds. The timer is factory preset at
2 seconds Pulse Duration and 45 minutes Pause
Time. Thus every 45 minutes, the system pulses air
into the filter for 2 seconds.
The system can be manually triggered by pressing the
“Test” button. The red LED is lit when the timer sens-
es power to its control circuit; the Yellow LED lights
when the timer signals a pulse.
