Wire Feed Speed Validation
(See Figure D.1)
Calibration of the
Tools required:
•RPM meter
•Constant voltage DC welding power source
•7/16" open end wrench
To verify if calibration is necessary:
1. | Turn power OFF. |
| |
2. Set the wire feed speed per the table. | |||
|
|

Model gearing | Wire Feed Speed | Acceptable Range | |
Standard Speed | 400 in/min | 69 - 77 rpm | |
Extra Torque | 150 in/min | 25 - 31 rpm | |
|
|
|
|
3. | Remove the plastic cover from the lower portion of the | ||
| wire drive with a 7/16" wrench. |
