SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•Do not operate with covers removed.
•Turn off power source before installing or servicing.
•Do not touch electrically hot parts.
•Turn the input power to the welding power source off at the fuse box before working in the terminal strip.
•Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this equipment.
CONTROL BOX
Every six months open and inspect the control sec- tion. The accumulated dirt should be gently blown off all of the electrical components. Be sure the air that is being used is dry. Check that lead plugs are secure in their receptacles.
WIRE DRIVE MOTOR AND GEAR BOX
Every year examine the gear box. Paint the gear teeth with molydisulfide filled grease. Lincoln specification E2322. Do not use a graphite grease.
Check the motor brushes. Replace if they are worn down to 1⁄4’’ or less. When ordering feed motor brushes, give all information from the motor nameplate.
GUN AND CABLE MAINTENANCE
See IM manual provided with the gun and cable assembly.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
DRIVE ROLLS AND GUIDE TUBES
After feeding every coil of wire, inspect the drive roll section. Clean it as necessary. Do not use a solvent for cleaning the idle roll because it may wash the lubricant out of the bearing. The drive roll, idle roll and guide tubes are stamped with the wire sizes they will feed. If a wire size other than that stamped on the rolls is to be used, the rolls and guide tubes must be changed.
CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN
CONTROL PC BOARD
The Control P.C. Board has electronic protection for trigger circuit faults to the electrode circuit.
AUTOMATIC PROTECTION SHUTDOWN
(See Automatic Protection Shutdown Section.)
The drive rolls for .035 through .052 cored electrode and 1⁄16 through 5⁄64 electrode have a double set of teeth so they can be reversed for additional life. Drive rolls for .023 through .052 solid electrode and aluminum sizes have no teeth but use two grooves so they also can be reversed for additional life.
See Wire Feed Drive Roll and Guide Tube Kits Sec- tion for roll changing instructions.
