5.10 INTERVENTIONS
5.10.1 WHAT TO DO IN ORDER TO SEE IF THE TANK IS SHORT- CIRCUITED
1) Disconnect the plug from the correct outlet.
2) Remove the screws and remove the two copper conductors (Fig.5 # 59) from the tank cover
(Fig. 5 # 46).
3) Turn on the machine.
If the fuse blows out:
see Trouble Shooting Malfunction sec. 5.9.
If, on the contrary, the fuse does not blow out, perform the following operations:
1) Empty the electrolyte.
2) Disassemble the tank cover in the following order:
3) First remove the hose from fitting (Fig. 5 # 42), then the connectors of the two level sensors
(Fig. 5 # 47, 48), paying special attention to the order of the connections, and the four nuts
(Fig. 5 # 43).
4) Remove any metal object from the tank.
5) Replace the tank
cover “OR” (Fig. 5 # 49), replace the cover insulators (Fig. 5 # 45) if faulty,
center the tank cover and make sure that the “OR” is positioned properly in its seat.
6) Tighten the four nuts first manually and subsequently using a wrench, tighten uniformly and
securely.
7) Connect the hose to the fitting (Fig. 5 # 41), connect the level sensors (Fig. 5 # 47, 48) and
the two copper conductors (Fig. 5 # 59).
8) Refill the tank (Fig. 5 # 50) with electrolyte.
5.10.2 CONTROLLING PRESSURE, ADJUSTING THE VALVE
1) Turn off the machine and remove the safety cap (Fig. 5 # 2).
2) Fit the pressure gauge on the filler neck (Fig. 1 # 3).
3) Unscrew the check valve cap (Fig. 1 # 13).
4) Turn the power control knob (Fig. 1 # 4), to (the maximum power level).
5) Start the welder and wait until the pressure reading on the pressure gauge is stable. Pressure
should be 1.1 Bar.
ATTENTION:
It is very important that the valve is tight , since the is enables the machine to maintain a
minimum of approximately 0.3 Bar inside the tank, even after several hours . Keep in mind
that when the machine
is not working, the tank cools down causing the pressure to drop. If for
some reason, there is a total lack pressure, the methyl alcohol contained in the Booster Tank
wold be sucked in, thus contaminating the electrolyte.
