3.3 SEAT MAINTENANCE, REMOVAL, AND REPLACEMENT
The seat should be inspected when the electrode is replaced. Replace the seat whenever surfaces in contact with
the electrode show signs of arcing. Keeping the shield tight will prevent arc damage to the seat.
NOTE
It is not necessary to remove the seat in order to inspect.
Do not attempt to use any tool other than the ESAB
Seat Tool, P/N 0558003027 to remove or replace the
seat. If the seat is distorted or damaged, the elec-
trode will not fit properly.
