Solution – Use a shorter length of

 

 

 

 

conduit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If all recommended possible areas of misadjustments have been checked and the problem persists, contact your local Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility.

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.
