MAINTENANCE
The K-BUG carriage should be periodically checked and cleaned to maximize service life.
Before use:
Check all screws in the torch clamp and guide rollers. Tighten as needed. Loose fasteners may
cause uneven travel or inconsistent weld quality.
During use:
Monitor wheels, motor and welding torch for abnormal noise or overheating.
After each use:
1. Clean control panel to remove dust and other debris.
2. Inspect carriage base, wheels, guide rollers, slide adjustment, magnets and torch for weld
spatter or other debris. Clean as needed.
3. Inspect power cable and torch cable for cracked, cut or damaged insulation. Replace as
needed.
4. Inspect connectors for damaged pins or loose connections. Replace as needed.
