2. Drive roll has become loose on hub
and output shaft.
3. Drive roll has become galled with alu-
minum.
4. Wire has become kinked along its feed
path.

COURSE OF ACTION
PROBLEMS
1. Check that wire is properly aligned
inside gun.
2. Check that drive roll is securely fas-
tened in place by SHCS (socket head
cap screw); replace hub and twist-lock
if worn.
3. Remove and then clean or replace
drive roll. (See Maintenance Section)
4. Manually pull wire slowly thru gun until
unkinked wire emerges.
5. Install properly. (See Maintenance
Section)
6. Check that wire is properly aligned at
liner inlet; realign gun tube with wire
drive. (See Correcting Wire Shaving
Issues Maintenance Section)
1. See Operation Section for proper
Welding information.
2. See symptoms on intermittent or slug-
gish wire feed.
1. See symptom "Low or no gas flow"
2. See symptom "Low or no gas flow"
3. Check that the gas supply s labeling
reads 100% argon. Temporarily use
alternate, known gas supply and check
for appearance improvement.
4. Erect a wind shield or move to a non-
windy location before welding.
5. Reconnect machine s welding output
to electrode positive polarity.
6. See Operation Section for information.

nected.
3. Gas supply flow regulator is
improperly set.
4. Machineʼs gas solenoid valve has
malfunctioned.
5. Blockage in gun along gas path.
6. Gun cable kinked or flattened.
7. Blockage due to excessive spatter
accumulation on gas nozzle or
gas diffuser.
8. Excessive gas leakage from sup-
ply.
9. Gas leakage in gun between liner
assembly and cable connector.
10. Gas leakage at gun-to-feeder
connection.
Wire feeder runs or begins feeding
1. Defective trigger. (contacts closed)
wire without pulling the gun trigger.
2. Defective (closed) trigger circuit in
the welding machine.
3. Trigger lead(s) inside gun cable
are shorted together or commonly
shorted to either welding or motor
circuits.
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact your Local
Lincoln Authorized Field Service Facility for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

4. See machineʼs instruction manual.
5. Gently blow out debris from core
tube.
6. Attempt to straighten out cable, or
replace cable. (See Maintenance
Section)
