	Check position of Ampere Range switch.
	Check position of optional Output Selector switch (see Section 8-1).
	Reset supplementary protector CB11 (see Section 9-8).
	Reset supplementary protector CB5 (see Section 9-8). Check for faulty remote device connected to
	RC14.
	Check and secure connections to Remote 14 receptacle RC14 (see Section 5-10).
	Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check connector board PC6 and connections.
	Check fuse F2, and replace if open (see Section 9-8). Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check

	Check fuses F1 and F2, and replace if open (see Section 9-8). Have Factory Authorized Service Agent
	check integrated rectifier SR1, capacitor C9, field current regulator board PC1, and the rotor.
	Reset supplementary protector CB12 (see Section 9-8).
	Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check brushes and slip rings, and field excitation circuit.
Erratic weld output.	Check and tighten connections inside and outside unit.
	Be sure connection to work piece is clean and tight.
	Use dry, properly stored electrodes.
	Remove excessive coils from weld cables.
High weld output.	Check position of Ampere Range switch and Voltage/Amperage Adjust control.
	Check engine weld/power speed, and adjust if necessary (see Section 9-6).
	Have Factory Authorized Service Agent check field current regulator board PC1.
