INSTALLATION
4.1
Receiving and handling
Before installing this equipment, clean all packing material from around the unit and carefully
inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipment. Any claims for loss or
damage that may have occurred in transit must be filed by the purchaser with the carrier. A
copy of the bill of lading and freight bill will be furnished by the carrier on request if occasion
to file claim arises.
WARNING!
Secure the equipment -
particularly if the ground is
uneven or sloping.
If the unit is unstable in upright position (A), as when the torch or spool is disconnected or
when there is a risk that the unit might be pulled by the torch during operation, the unit must
be secured. Alternatively it can be operated in horizontal position (B) if conditions permit.
4.2
Selection of drive rolls and guide tubes
WARNING!
When the wire feeder is connected to the power source, the work lead from the
power source is connected to the work piece and the power source is energized,
closing the torch trigger will cause the welding wire to become electrically hot and
will cause the drive rolls to turn. Keep fingers clear!
The drive rolls have two grooves. The unit is supplied ready to feed 0.045", .052" or 1/16"
(1.2 to 1.6 mm) diameter cored wires or .035 - .045 (0.9 - 1.2 mm) hard wires depending on
the part number ordered.
Other drive rolls are available to feed other sizes of hard wire, soft wire, and cored wire. See
Drive Roll and Guide Tube Selection Chart in the WEAR PARTS chapter.
Two lower drive rolls are required for four roll drive systems.
