What to do if Over current/Duty cycle LED illuminates in Everlast PowerPro 164 Welding System?
If the Over current/Duty cycle LED is illuminated and the machine runs but has no output, the duty cycle may have been exceeded, or there is an overcurrent situation. Allow the machine to cool down, then reset the main power switch after it has fully cooled. Ensure the fan is not blocked and check the wiring.
What to do if porosity of the weld, discolored weld color, tungsten is discolored in Everlast PowerPro 164?
If you observe porosity in the weld, discoloration of the weld, or discoloration of the tungsten, check for the following: ensure the shielding gas flow rate is not too low or too high, verify the post flow period is adequate, confirm the correct TIG cup size is being used, and inspect for possible gas leaks internally or externally due to loose fittings. Also, ensure the base metal is free from contamination like dirt or grease.
What to do if weld quality is poor and weld is dirty/oxidized in Everlast PowerPro 164?
If the weld quality is poor and the weld appears dirty or oxidized, take the following steps: eliminate drafts, verify sufficient shielding gas in the tank, check gas flow and adjust for higher flow if needed. Listen for an audible click of the gas solenoid; if there's no click, contact Everlast Support. Ensure the weld is properly cleaned, particularly with aluminum, and that the post flow is not too short. Also, check the tungsten stick out.
Why is the tungsten rapidly consumed in Everlast PowerPro 164 Welding System?
Rapid tungsten consumption can occur due to inadequate gas flow, using too small of a tungsten size, the wrong shielding gas, using green tungsten, incorrect polarity, or excessive AC cleaning. Use only Argon gas and red thoriated or other color tungsten.
What to do if tungsten is contaminated and arc changes to a green color in Everlast PowerPro 164 Welding System?
If the tungsten is contaminated and the arc turns green, it may be because the tungsten is dipping into the weld. Check and adjust the stick out to a minimum of 1/8 inch. If the tungsten is melting, reduce the amperage or increase the tungsten size.
How to fix unstable arc in Everlast PowerPro 164 Welding System?
An unstable arc may be caused by a poorly ground or shaped tungsten. Regrind the tungsten to a proper point. Also, too much AC positive polarity can cause this issue. Reduce the balance to 30% or less and increase the AC frequency.
What to do if machine runs, but will not weld in either mode in Everlast PowerPro 164 Welding System?
If the machine runs but will not weld in either mode, check for solid work clamp and cable connections. Make sure the work cable and TIG Torch are securely fastened to the Dinse style connector. If the overcurrent light is on, reset the main power switch. Contact Technical Support.
How to troubleshoot if Everlast Welding System machine will not turn on?
If the Everlast Welding System machine will not turn on, check the cords and wiring in the plug. Also, inspect the circuit breaker.
What to do if arc will not start unless lift started in Everlast Welding System?
If the arc will not start unless lift started, check the HF point gap and set it to .035”. Also, ensure the unit is set to HF. Contact Technical Support.
