Welding Precaution

Usage:

C4.4 448
Proper welding procedures are necessary to avoid damage to the Electronic Control Module (ECM), sensors, and associated components. Also consider components that are for the driven equipment. Remove the component that requires welding. When welding on an engine that is equipped with an ECM and removal of the component is not possible, the following procedure must be followed. This procedure provides the minimum amount of risk to the electronic components.

  1. Stop the engine. Remove the electrical power from the ECM.

  2. Ensure that the fuel supply to the engine is turned off.

  3. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery. If a battery disconnect switch is installed, turn the switch to the OFF position.

  4. Disconnect all electronic components from the wiring harnesses. Electronic components include the following components:

    • Electronic components for the driven equipment

    • Engine ECM

    • Sensors


    NOTICE

    Do NOT use electrical components (ECM or sensors) or electronic component grounding points for grounding the welder.

  5. When possible, connect the welder ground clamp directly to the engine component that will be welded. Place the clamp as close as possible to the weld. A close connection will reduce the possibility of welding current damage to the engine bearings, to the electrical components, and to other components.

  6. Protect the wiring harnesses from welding debris and/or from the welding spatter.

  7. Use standard welding procedures to weld the materials together.
