This Troubleshooting Guide is provided to
help you locate and repair possible machine
malfunctions. Simply follow the three-step
procedure listed below.
Step 1. LOCATE PROBLEM (SYMPTOM).
Look under the column labeled “PROBLEM
(SYMPTOMS)”. This column describes pos-
sible symptoms that the machine may exhib-
it. Find the listing that best describes the
symptom that the machine is exhibiting.
Symptoms are grouped into the following
categories: output problems, function prob-
lems, wire feeding problems, and welding
problems.
Step 2. PERFORM EXTERNAL TESTS.
The second column labeled “POSSIBLE
AREAS OF MISADJUSTMENT(S)” lists the
obvious external possibilities that may con-
tribute to the machine symptom. Perform
these tests/checks in the order listed. In
general, these tests can be conducted with-
out removing the case wrap-around cover.
Step 3. RECOMMENDED
COURSE OF ACTION
The last column labeled “Recommended
Course of Action” lists the most likely com-
ponents that may have failed in your
machine. It also specifies the appropriate
test procedure to verify that the subject com-
ponent is either good or bad. If there are a
number of possible components, check the
components in the order listed to eliminate
one possibility at a time until you locate the
cause of your problem.
All of the referenced test procedures
referred to in the Troubleshooting Guide are
described in detail at the end of this chapter.
