4.4 Loading the welding wire to feed mechanism
GT02 DuraTorque
NOTE!
Always ensure that ALL wire guide tubes are correctly selected and installed before
connecting the welding gun.
1.
Release the pressure lever(s) and open the pressure arm(s) carrying the top wire feed roll,
lifting clear on its pivot.
2.
Draw some loose filler wire from the spool and carefully push it through the liner and
bronze guide at the back of the wire feed mechanism. Push the filler wire over the feed
roll groove and through the wire guide(s) tubes and Euro connector block, exposing
about 150 mm of filler wire from the front of the machine.
3.
Close the top feed roll(s) lever(s) over the filler wire and close the pressure arm(s).
4.
Cut away any deformed filler wire section and dress the sharp wire tip.
5.
Connect the welding gun and tighten the collar.
6.
Press the welding gun trigger and allow the filler wire to feed through the gun cable to
the contact tip.
Check once again that the filler wire is still properly seated in the grooves of both top and
bottom feed rolls.
NOTE!
Kempact RA is equipped with a security feature that automatically stops the wire feed and
shielding gas flow and cuts the voltage from the wire, if the welding gun trigger is held down for
more than 30 seconds without arc ignition.
