    What to do if my Pro Spot Welding System display is off?
    • J
      Jennifer HallSep 6, 2025
      If there's no “life” from your Pro Spot Welding System and the display is off, it could be due to: * An input cable or plug malfunction. Check for proper input cable connection. * A wrong size fuse. Check the fuse and replace it as necessary.

    What to do if my Pro Spot SP-5 DP feed motor operates but wire will not feed?
    • Y
      ymckayNov 25, 2025
      If the feed motor operates but the wire won't feed on your Pro Spot Welding System, consider the following: * The wire feeding motor might be faulty (rare), consider replacing it. * There might be insufficient feed roller pressure, increase the roller pressure. * There might be a burr on the end of the wire, recut the wire square with no burr. * The liner might be blocked or damaged, clear it with compressed air or replace the liner. * The voltage or wire feed speed might be too low, readjust the welding parameters. * There might be a loose connection inside the machine (rare), clear with compressed air and tighten all connections. * The contact tip might be worn or the wrong size, replace the contact tip. * The gun connection might be loose or the gun assembly faulty, tig...

    Why is the weld deposit too thick with my Pro Spot SP-5 DP Welding System?
    • J
      Judy HillSep 16, 2025
      If the weld deposit is too thick with your Pro Spot Welding System, it may be because: * The torch was moved over the workpiece too slowly. Move the torch faster. * The welding voltage is too low. Increase the welding voltage.

    Why is the weld deposit “stringy” and incomplete with my Pro Spot SP-5 DP?
    • J
      Jessica FowlerSep 14, 2025
      If the weld deposit is “stringy” and incomplete with your Pro Spot Welding System, it could be because: * The torch was moved over the workpiece too quickly. Move the torch slower. * The gas mixture is incorrect. See shielding gas table.

    What to do if my Pro Spot SP-5 DP Welding System is showing the alarm screen with message “Max Pout”?
    • E
      Emily JacksonSep 13, 2025
      If your Pro Spot Welding System displays the alarm screen with the message “Max Pout”, it indicates that the required power exceeds the generator supply capacity. Limit the welding parameters.

    Why does my Pro Spot Welding System gun nozzle arc to the work surface?
    • P
      Priscilla MuellerSep 12, 2025
      If your Pro Spot Welding System gun nozzle arcs to the work surface, it is likely due to slag buildup inside the nozzle or the nozzle being shorted. Clean or replace the nozzle.

    Why is my Pro Spot SP-5 DP wire pushing the torch back from the workpiece?
    • J
      Jason BakerSep 9, 2025
      If the wire pushes the torch back from the workpiece with your Pro Spot Welding System, it could be due to: * A wire feed speed that is too fast. Decrease the wire feed speed. * A bad connection between the earth clamp and the workpiece. Clean and deoxidize the contact area of the earth clamp. * The workpiece being excessively oxidized or painted. Brush carefully the point to be welded.

    What to do if my Pro Spot SP-5 DP Welding System wire is birdnesting at the drive roller?
    • C
      Christopher DanielsSep 7, 2025
      If the wire is birdnesting at the drive roller of your Pro Spot Welding System, it could be due to: * Excessive pressure on the drive roller. Adjust the pressure on the drive roller. * A worn or damaged gun liner. Replace the wire liner. * A clogged or damaged contact tip. Replace the contact tip. * A liner that is stretched or too long. Cut the wire liner at the right length.

    Why is my Pro Spot SP-5 DP machine powered ON, but not working?
    • M
      Michael MorganAug 21, 2025
      Your Pro Spot Welding System might not be working due to several reasons: * The thermic protection might have been triggered because of overload or exceeding the duty cycle. Respect the duty cycle of the machine. * The thermic protection might have been triggered because of overtemperature. Allow the welder to cool. Wait until the pilot lamp on the wire feeder front panel is off, indicating the thermostat has closed. * The fan may be obstructed. Free the fan from possible obstructions or replace it.
