control PC board (see Procedure for

 

 

 

Replacing PC Boards). If not, then replace

 

 

 

tachometer.

this continuity test fails, replace cable.

 

 

 

Otherwise check wiring harnesses and pro-

If voltage is > ±11V DC, then gun is

 

 

 

defective.

 

 

 

If voltage is < ±11V DC, then check

 

 

 

the voltage across pin 2 (+) and pin 12

If the voltage is still < ±11V DC, then

 

 

 

replace control PC board, otherwise,

 

 

 

replace gun connector. (See

 

 

 

Procedure for Replacing PC boards.)

 

 

 

 

CAUTION

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.
