Maintenance
WARNING!
Please see Chapter 1 regarding Safety
•
Turn the input power OFF before working on any ARCON welder
•
Do not touch electrically live parts or electrode with your skin or wet clothing
•
Insulate yourself from work and ground
•
Always wear dry insulating gloves
•
Have an electrician install the ARCON welder
•
All maintenance and repairs that require taking off the cover must be performed by a certified
repair facility.
If The Ironhorse does not operate properly, stop work immediately and investigate the cause of
the malfunction. Please note: Opening up the case voids the Warranty. Maintenance or repair
should only be performed by an authorized ARCON Service Center, or by the facvtory. Do not
permit untrained persons to inspect, clean, or repair
The Ironhorse. Please call the factory for
the location of the Authorized ARCON Service center nearest you.
Since there are no moving parts (other than the fan) in the power source, basic preventive
maintenance consists mainly of keeping the interior of the cabinet clean. Periodically, you should
ask your Authorized Service Center to remove the cover from the case, and wearing protective
goggles, remove accumulated dust and dirt from the air passages and the interior components,
using clean low-pressure air. It is imperative that the air passages to the interior of the unit be
free of dirt to ensure adequate circulation of cooling air, especially over the rectifier bridge plates.
The frequency of cleaning will depend on the location of the unit, the amount of dust in the
atmosphere and number of operating hours.
