To Next PageTo Next PageWhy is my Klutch Welding System protection indicator on?
The protection indicator might be on due to several reasons: the internal temperature being too high (let the fan cool the unit with the power on until it cools down), input power voltage being too high or low (ensure it's within 120V AC plus or minus 15%), or a damaged cooling fan (replace the cooling fan).
What to do if my Klutch Welding System won't create an arc?
If you're unable to create an arc, it might be due to a few reasons. Make sure the workpiece is free of paint or rust. Ensure the ground clamp is connected to bare metal, not a painted or rusty surface, and that it's properly connected to the workpiece. Also, when using MIG mode, remember the unit isn't electrically hot until you press the torch trigger.
How to fix unstable welding arc and excessive spatter with Klutch Welding System?
An unstable welding arc and excessive spatter can occur if the contact tip is too large (ensure the correct contact tip is installed), the torch liner is plugged (clear or replace the torch liner), or there's no shielding gas (connect a shielding gas supply and turn it on).
What to do if Klutch Welding System unit does not power up?
If the unit doesn't power up, first, ensure it's plugged in. Next, check if the input power circuit breaker is on, and reset it if necessary. If the issue persists, the main power switch may be faulty and need replacement.
Why does wire feed inconsistently on my Klutch Welding System?
Inconsistent wire feeding could be caused by a plugged torch liner (clear or replace it), variations in wire diameter on the spool (increase the contact tip one size), incorrect wire tension (refer to the Installing the Wire section), incorrect drive roll tension (refer to the Setting Drive Roll Tension section), or a worn drive roll (replace the drive roll).
Why Klutch Welding System wire drive motor does not turn?
If the wire drive motor isn't turning, check that the wire feed speed control isn't set to zero; increase it if necessary. Also, the wire will only feed when the trigger is mashed. If these aren't the issue, the wire drive motor may be damaged and require replacement, or the feed roller might not be correctly installed (refer to the installation section).
What to do if MIG torch is not correctly installed and shielding gas is not transferring to the arc in Klutch Welding System?
Remove and reconnect the MIG torch to make certain it is completely installed into the MIG connector.
