To address the issue of weld output that cannot be adjusted on your Miller Electric Welding System, check the position of the V/A Adjust switch. If the problem persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the field current control board PC2.
What to do if Miller Electric Welding System engine stopped during normal operation?
If your Miller Electric Welding System's engine stops during normal operation, check the fuel and oil levels. Low oil pressure shutdown stops the engine if oil pressure is too low. If these are not the cause, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the fuel shutoff solenoid GS1 (GS1 standard on Kohler-powered units; optional on Robin-powered, LP-fueled units) and the low oil pressure shutdown switch S5.
Why is the weld output low on my Miller Electric 301 G, DC?
If your Miller Electric Welding System is producing low weld output, verify the control settings. Also, place the V/A Adjust switch in the Panel position, or move the switch to the Remote position and connect the remote control to the Remote receptacle RC4. Check and clean the air cleaner as necessary and check the engine speed, adjusting it if needed. If problems continue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the brushes, slip rings, integrated rectifier SR2, and circuit boards PC1 and PC2. Consult the engine manual for further guidance.
What to do if Miller Electric 301 G, DC engine will not crank?
If the engine on your Miller Electric Welding System will not crank, check fuse F6 and replace it if open. Also, check the battery voltage, battery connections (tighten if necessary), and the connections of plug PLG5 and plug PLG8. If the problem persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the Engine Control switch S2.
Why is the weld output erratic on my Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System?
If your Miller Electric Welding System has erratic weld output, start by checking the control settings. Clean and tighten all connections both inside and outside the unit. Check and secure lead connections to the A/V control, and ensure the connection to the workpiece is clean and tight. Remove excessive coils from weld cables and use dry, properly stored electrodes. Check and adjust the engine speed. If the problem continues, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the brushes, slip rings, and circuit boards PC1 and PC2.
Why is tungsten electrode oxidizing on Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System?
If your Miller Electric Welding System's tungsten electrode is oxidizing and not remaining bright after the conclusion of the weld, shield the weld zone from drafts, increase the postflow time, check and tighten all gas fittings, and properly prepare the tungsten.
How to fix lack of high frequency in Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System?
If you are experiencing a lack of high frequency or difficulty in establishing a Gas Tungsten Arc Welding arc with your Miller Electric Welding System, use the proper size tungsten for the welding amperage. Reduce leakage of high frequency from the torch or work cable by checking the grounding, removing excessive coils from weld cables, and using shorter weld cables. Check the cables and torch for cracked or deteriorated insulation or bad connections and repair or replace necessary parts.
How to restore 24 volt AC power output at Remote receptacle RC4 on Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System?
If your Miller Electric Welding System has no 24 volt AC power output at Remote receptacle RC4, reset circuit breaker CB5.
Why Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System engine does not return to idle speed?
If your Miller Electric Welding System's engine does not return to idle speed, ensure the Engine Control switch S2 is in the Run/Idle position. Remove all weld and generator power loads. Place the Process/Contactor switch in the Electrode Hot position or turn off the remote contactor. Turn off any remote device connected to Remote receptacle RC4. Check for obstructed movement of the solenoid linkage. If problems persist, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check circuit board PC1 and current transformer CT1.
Why does Miller Electric 301 G, DC Welding System battery discharges between uses?
If your Miller Electric Welding System's battery discharges between uses, place the Engine Control switch in the Off position when the unit is not running. Clean the top of the battery with a baking soda and water solution, then rinse with clear water. Periodically recharge the battery (approximately every 3 months) and replace the battery if needed. Check the voltage regulator according to the engine manual.
