2.

Referring to the wiring diagram, clean and reconnect all wiring H

 

 

 

 

connection

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Unstable load applied

3.

Remove all loads, then apply each one individually to determine which

 

 

 

 

 

 

one is causing erratic function

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noisy operation

1.

Loose unit or engine bolt(s)

1.

Tighten all mountings

 

 

 

2.

Short circuit in unit field or load

2.

Test winding resistance, replace field winding if necessary H

Inadequate current at electrode

1.

Check work clamp, cable and connection to work piece. Check electrode

does not weld

 

 

 

cable and clamp

 

2.

Poor connections at welder

2.

Check all welder external connections

 

3.

Front panel switch set incorrectly

3.

Set front panel switch to weld

 

4.

7.

Test diodes, replace if necessary H

 

 

 

 

 

Welder gives

1.

Accidental contact with work piece

1.

Avoid contact with work piece

trickle shocks

2.

Current leakage caused by moist

2.

Make sure clothing and work area are dry

 

 

clothing or work area

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Arc difficult to

1.

Wrong type of electrode.

1.

Verify that electrode is for alternating current (AC)

strike

2.
