YStop engine and let cool.

1 Spark Arrestor

2 Cleanout Plug

Remove plug and remove any dirt covering cleanout hole.

3 Exhaust Pipe

Start engine and run at idle speed to blow out cleanout hole. If nothing blows out of hole, briefly cover end of exhaust pipe with fireproof material.

YStop engine and let cool. Reinstall cleanout plug.

Trouble

 

Remedy

 

 

 

No weld output.

 

Check control settings (see Section 5.1).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check fuses F2 and F3, and replace if necessary (see Section 7.7).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check main rectifier and capacitor C5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check and secure connections to Remote 14 Receptacle RC1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place Output (Contactor) Control switch in On position, or place switch in Remote 14 position and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

connect remote contactor to Remote 14 receptacle RC1 (See Section 5.1).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes and slip rings, main rectifier, integrated

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

rectifier SR3, capacitor C5, and circuit boards PC1 and PC6.

 

 

 

Low weld output.

 

Check control settings (see Section 5.1).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check fuses F2 and F3, and replace if open (see Section 7.7).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 7.6).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tune engine according to engine manual.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Place Amperage Control switch in Panel position, or place switch in Remote 14 position and connect

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

remote amperage control to Remote 14 receptacle RC1.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes and slip rings, main rectifier, integrated rectifi-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

er SR3, capacitor C5, Amperage Control R4, and circuit board PC6.

 

 

 

High weld output.

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 7.6).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check main rectifier.
