torch consumables and press the “SAFETY

 

 

RESET” button.

 

2.

Check the air supply to the machine. If the air

 

 

does not flow, the machine will not start.

 

3.

Check the operation of the air solenoid by

 

 

switching the machine to “PURGE”. If the

 

 

pressure is sufficient, the air should begin to

 

 

flow and the “AIR PRESSURE” LED should

 

 

turn on. Return to “RUN” mode. If air does not

 

 

flow, check the solenoid by applying 115 VAC to

 

 

its input leads. If it is not bad, replace PC board.

 

4.

Low air pressure also results in a “no start”

 

 

condition. “AIR PRESSURE” LED must be lit

 

 

when air is flowing.

 

5.

12 seconds, or more, of postflow time has

 

 

elapsed and a double trigger pull is required to

 

 

start the pilot arc. The second trigger pull must

 

 

follow the first within 1 second to start the pilot

 

 

arc.
