Maintenance
Routine Maintenance

Your Cobramatic

®

system is designed to provide years of reliable service.

Normal wear and component mortality may require occasional service.
The number of units in operation and the importance of minimal “down time”

will determine to what extent spare parts should be stocked on hand.
If repairs do become necessary, any part can easily be replaced by qualified

shop maintenance personnel.
Maintenance of the gun will normally consist of a general cleaning of the wire

guide system, including tubes, drive rolls, and conduits at regular intervals.
Remove spatter build-up from inside of nozzles with a hardwood stick.
The only parts on the Cobramatic

®

system that are subject to normal wear

are the conduit, contact tips, gas cups, front body liners, wire guides, drive

and idler rolls (parts that contact the welding wire). A supply of these parts

should be maintained.

Testing the Feeder

Testing the Input Power Circuits

The AC circuits are protected by fuses F1 and F2 (see page 15 for location).

If these fail, especially when powering up the cabinet, remove the connectors

for the components that draw on this power, J6 (Brake Solenoid), J7 (Slave

Motor) and J5-3 & 4 (AC Contactor - if used) from the P.C. Board. Replace

fuses and retrigger system. If fuses do not fail, isolate the problem by plug-

ging in J4, J7, and J5-3,4 one at a time until the fuses fail.

Testing the Speed Control

NOTE:

The gun should be tested prior to testing circuitry on the main board.

Gun amphenol must be connected to the Cobramatic

®

cabinet to per-

form the following tests.
