Is there anything I can do to help the Turbocharger from choking up (carbon build-up) with deposits?
Turbochargers develop deposits from no oil-flow cooling the parts after the engine is turned off.

zMAX's ability to "Soak Into The Metal" keeps the surfaces lubricated and cooler which helps to prevent damaging deposits from forming.

Using zMAX in your Oil System will keep Turbochargers better lubricated and running cooler.

How to start using your new welder
Welding is easy. Before you begin using your new welding machine, be sure to read the equipment manual and identify key components.

There are 3 main steps to begin using a welder. I will be demonstrating on my Lincoln Power MIG 140C with mixed gas on carbon steel.

1. Install regulator and shielding gas
a. Crack the cylinder to rid the nozzle of any dust or debris
b. Attach the gas regulator and hose to supply the machine with shielding gas.
c. Open the cylinder very slowly and when the pressure gauge pointer stops moving, open the valve fully.
d. Set gas flow rate for 25 to 40 cubic feet per hour.

2. Connect leads and cables on the machine.
a. Open the case side door.
b. Slide the connector end of the gun and cable through the hole of the machine front and into the gun connector bushing on the wire drive.
c. Make sure the gun connector end is seated fully into the wire drive and tighten the thumbscrew to secure the gun.
d. Plug the gun trigger lead connector into the 4 pin gun trigger receptacle on the machine front.
e. Connect the short power cable from the wire drive to the positive output terminal and tighten the thumbscrew.
f. Slide the lugged end of the work cable through the hole in the machine front and place on the negative output terminal and tighten thumbscrew.

3. Load wire spool
a. Place the 4" diameter spool of .025" L-56 MIG wire and place onto wire spool spindle. Wire feeds off the top of the spool or counter-clockwise.
b. Tighten the wing nut against the spacer to hold the wire spool on the spindle.
c. Open the top drive roll pressure arm by rotating the tension adjustor arm down and pivoting the idle roll pressure arm up.
d. Remove the outer wire guide.
e. Slide gun out of drive slightly.
f. Remove the lower drive roll and inner wire guide.
g. Install the .025"-.035" inner wire guide.
h. Install the .025" smooth grooved lower drive roll.
i. Carefully unwind and straighten the first six inches of welding wire from the spool. Do not let the end of the wire go to prevent the wire from uncoiling.
