TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
FAULT REASON REMEDY
Overheat
Lights Come
On
Overheating of unit Allow 3—5 minutes of “cool down” time.
Check for short between nozzle and
electrode. Check transistors; as this
component starts to wear, it begins to
draw more current. If condition is not
resettable, take welder to repair agent
for service.
Difficulty in
Arc Starting
Torch assembled incor-
rectly
Check condition of wire
Low voltage problem Check for missing or low voltage
Arc Does Not
Transfer
Loose, missing cable con-
nections
Check tooling for loose or poor ground.
Power supply not recognis-
ing start signal
Check all connections.
Extension
Cables
Ensure that any extension
cables are of adequate
capacity
Low quality/ capacity cables will result
in voltage drops and hinder starting.
Gas Quality Gas quality / purity must
meet the specified stan-
dards.
Try a bottle of gas of higher purity
grade than normally used and see if the
problem persists. Low gas quality or
oxides in gas can oxidise part and con-
taminate the wire during welding.
