SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

•Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

•Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on this equipment.

•Do not touch electrically hot parts.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

1.The fan motors have sealed bearings which require no service.

2.In extremely dusty locations, dirt may clog the air channels causing the welder to run hot. Blow out the welder with low pressure air at regular inter- vals as required to eliminate excessive dirt and dust buildup on internal parts.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

The power source is thermostatically protected with two proximity thermostats against overload or insuffi- cient cooling. One thermostat is located on the trans- former secondary Negative Output Lead, and the other thermostat is located on the choke coil. The thermostats are connected in series in the machine control circuit so that if an excessive overload is applied to the machine, or the machine should receive insufficient cooling on either the main transformer, SCR bridge assembly or choke, the input contactor would open and remain open until the machine cools. It can then be manually restarted by operating the start push button.

The power source is also protected against heavy overloads on the SCR bridge assembly through an electronic protection circuit. This circuit senses an overload on the power source and opens the input contactor should the overload remain for a predeter- mined time. The predetermined time varies with the amount of overload; the greater the overload, the shorter the time. The input contactor will remain open until the power source is manually started with the start push button.

The control board is designed with adequate protec- tion so that no damage will occur if the remote control leads are shorted together or are grounded to the case. The machine will automatically shut down if such faults do occur.

An 8-amp fuse located on the machine control panel protects the 115 volt auxiliary AC circuit (#31 and #32) from overload. If replacing, use the same type and size fuse.
