Why is the wire speed low, high, or erratic on my Miller Welding System?
First, readjust the front panel settings. Then, change to the correct size drive rolls and readjust the drive roll pressure. Replace the inlet guide, contact tip, and/or liner if necessary. Check the position of the input jumper links. If the issue persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board.
Why is the weld output low on my Miller Millermatic Pulser 185 Welding System?
Connect the unit to the proper input voltage or check for low line voltage. Also, check the input voltage jumper links and correct their position if necessary. If the problem continues, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board.
What to do if wire feeds erratically on my Miller Welding System?
Check and correct the drive roll pressure. Clean or replace the drive roll and clean or replace the liner.
Why is there no weld output and the wire doesn't feed on my Miller Millermatic Pulser 185?
First, ensure the line disconnect switch is On. Next, check and replace the building line fuse or reset the circuit breaker if it's open. Also, reset circuit breaker CB1. Make sure the gun trigger connections are secure. If these steps don't resolve the issue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the Power switch, all board connections, and the main control board.
What to do if there is no wire feed on my Miller Millermatic Pulser 185?
Try these steps: reset circuit breaker CB1, turn the Wire Speed control to a higher setting, clear any obstruction in the gun contact tip or liner, readjust the drive roll pressure, change to the correct size drive rolls, rethread the welding wire, and check the gun trigger and leads, repairing or replacing the gun if necessary. If the problem persists, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board.
What to do if there is no weld output but wire feeds on my Miller Millermatic Pulser 185?
If the thermostat TP1 is open due to overheating, allow the fan to run so the unit cools down and the thermostat closes. Ensure the work clamp has good metal-to-metal contact. Replace the contact tip. If an overload occurred, release the gun trigger. If problems continue, have a Factory Authorized Service Agent check the main control board and main rectifier.
What to do if gun tube assembly is loose on my Miller Welding System?
Tighten the nut at the base of the gun tube assembly.
