Welding on Machines and Engines with Electronic Controls
SMCS - 1000; 7000
Proper welding procedures are necessary in order to avoid damage to the electronic controls and to the
bearings. When possible, remove the component that must be welded from the machine or the engine and
then weld the component. If you must weld near an electronic control on the machine or the engine,
temporarily remove the electronic control in order to prevent heat related damage. The following steps
should be followed in order to weld on a machine or an engine with electronic controls.
1. Turn off the engine. Place the engine start switch in the OFF position.
2. If equipped, turn the battery disconnect switch to the OFF position. If there is no battery disconnect
switch, remove the negative battery cable at the battery.
NOTICE
Do NOT use electrical components (ECM or ECM sensors) or
electronic component grounding points for grounding the
welder.
3. Clamp the ground cable from the welder to the component that will be welded. Place the clamp as
close as possible to the weld. Make sure that the electrical path from the ground cable to the
component does not go through any bearing. Use this procedure in order to reduce the possibility of
damage to the following components:
Bearings of the drive train
Hydraulic components
Electrical components
Other components of the machine
4. Protect any wiring harnesses from the debris which is created from welding. Protect any wiring
harnesses from the splatter which is created from welding.
5. Use standard welding procedures in order to weld the materials together.
