CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The machine requires no maintenance other than the following guidelines.
Cleaning at frequent intervals is advisable if the unit is operating in a very dusty
environment.
1. Keep the louvres clean to avoid a build up of dirt and oxides inside the
machine which can reduce machine output.
2. Check all cables periodically for condition and secure. They must be in
good condition and not cracked.
Always avoid getting particles of metal inside the machine since they could
cause short circuits.
Always inspect the earth cable and torch hose before use, to ensure they are
in perfect condition and that the earth clamp is clean and secured correctly
to the cable.
Check the hose for security and damage.
Wire feed unit:
The feed roller / wire guide plays an important part in achieving consistent
results. Check the feed roller groove, removing any deposits.
Torch:
Protect the torch hose assembly from mechanical wear. If the liner is blocked it
must be replaced.
Contact tip:
The contact tip is a consumable item and must be replaced when the bore
becomes enlarged or oval. The contact tip
MUST
be kept free from spatter to
ensure an unimpeded flow of gas.
To keep the contact tip free from spatter, we recommend the use of anti-
spatter spray (6000715) available from your CLARKE dealer.
Torch shroud:
The torch shroud must also be kept clean and free from spatter. Build-up of
spatter inside the gas cup can cause a short circuit at the contact tip which
will result in expensive machine repairs.
WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL - NEVER TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.
WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ALL INSPECTIONS
AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. BEWARE HOT SURFACES.
