9-1. Troubleshooting

A. Welding

Trouble

Remedy

 

 

No weld output or generator power out-

Be sure all equipment is disconnected from receptacles when starting unit.

put at ac receptacles.

 

 

 

. AC receptacles provide auxiliary

Place switch in Wall position or start engine and place switch in Generator position.

power only while engine is running.

 

 

 

 

Over temperature light is flashing. Allow unit to cool with fan running until thermostat TP1 resets and light

 

turns off.

 

 

 

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

 

SR2.

 

 

No weld output; generator power out-

Place switch in Generator position to obtain weld output.

put okay at ac receptacles.

 

 

 

 

Check weld connections.

 

 

 

Check Spool Gun/Mig Gun switch position.

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check stator, integrated rectifier SR2, stabilizer Z1, and main

 

rectifier SR1.

 

 

Low weld output.

Check Weld Output control setting.

 

 

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 8-10).

 

 

 

Service engine air cleaner.

 

 

 

Check weld cable size and length.

 

 

 

Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check stator, integrated rectifier SR2, stabilizer Z1, and main

 

rectifier SR1.

 

 

High weld output.

Check Wire Speed and Voltage control settings.

 

 

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 8-10).

 

 

Erratic weld output.

Check Wire Speed and Voltage control settings. Check wire feed for erratic condition.

 

 

 

Tighten and clean connections to electrode and workpiece.

 

 

 

Remove excessive coils from work lead and gun power cable.

 

 

 

Clean and tighten connections both inside and outside welding generator.

 

 

 

Check engine speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 8-10).

 

 

 

Check throttle/governor linkage for smooth, non-binding operation.
