OPERATION
X-TRACTOR 1GC
Read and understand this entire section before operating your X-
Tractor 1GC.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have thoroughly
read all operating and maintenance manuals supplied with your
equipment and any related welding machine it will be used with.
They include important safety precautions, operating and main-
tenance instructions and parts lists.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch electrically live parts such as
output terminals or internal wiring.
• Insulate yourself from the work and
ground.
• Always wear dry insulating gloves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explo-
sion.
• Keep flammable material away.
• Do not weld upon containers which have
held combustibles.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
ARC RAYS can burn.
• Wear eye, ear and body protection.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.
• Although the removal of the particulate
matter from welding smoke may reduce
the ventilation requirement, concentra-
tions of the clear exhausted fumes and
gases may still be hazardous to health.
Avoid breathing concentrations of these
fumes and gases. Use adequate ventila-
tion when welding. See ANSI Z49.1,
"Safety in Welding and Cutting", pub-
lished by the American Welding Society.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Only qualified personnel should operate this equipment.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Always operate this equipment with the filters installed and cov-
ers in place as these provide maximum protection from moving
parts and insure proper vacuum operation and cooling air flow.
WARNING
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The X-Tractor 1GC provides enough suction for one fume gun or
small suction head. When in “Low” mode, only one blower oper-
ates, when in “High” mode, both blowers operate. When in the
“Man” mode, the X-Tractor 1GC will run continuously. When in
the “Auto” mode, it will turn on only when current is sensed by
the current sensor.
USING THE “AUTO” MODE
Loop a section of the work cable or electrode cable through the
hook at the rear of the machine. When using welding current of
less than 80 Amps, loop the cable through twice. When using
welding current of less than 40 Amps loop the cable through
three times. When the arc starts, the current flowing through
the cable will create a magnetic field. The current sensor
mounted in the machine behind the loop will sense this field and
start the machine. When the arc stops, there is a ten second
delay before the machine shuts down.
