GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The X-Tractor 1GC is a self contained system for the removal
and filtration of welding fume particles and other point source
particulate. It is a high vacuum, low volume system with the
capability to easily and comfortably clean the filter cartridge with
compressed air. It is suitable for medium duty welding applica-
tions. When in “Auto” mode, a current sensor turns the system
on only when needed, thereby extending the brush life of the
motors. The system is powered by two 120V or 230V blowers.
Machines manufactured after April, 1997 have a circuit
breaker and a Mode switch that allows selection of Low/High
Mode. When in “Low” mode, only one of the two blowers
operates; when in “High” mode, both blowers operate.
Machines built after April, 1999 have a Low/High mode
switch, but use circuit protection built-in to the main power
switch rather than a circuit breaker.
The X-Tractor 1GC is designed to supply suction for one fume
gun or small suction head designed for High Vacuum fume
extraction.
Air enters the system through a 2" (50mm) OD connection. It
then passes through a heavy particle trap, then through the filter,

leaving fume particles on the outside of the cartridge. This par-
ticulate free air then passes through the blower and exits
through the side of the machine.
When the filter becomes loaded with fume particles, the filter is
cleaned with compressed air while still inside the machine. By
connecting compressed air to the fitting on the rear of the
machine and rotating the fitting, particles are blown from the
outside surface of the filter by air jets released from the cleaning
device. The internal canister is then removed and particulate can
be poured out.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Only qualified personnel should install, use or service this
equipment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Connect the X-Tractor 1GC to 120V single phase, grounded input
suitable for 15 amp service for the K652-1, or 230V single
phase, grounded input suitable for 9 amp service for the K652-2.
USE WITH HOSE AND SUCTION DEVICES
A complete package consists of the X-Tractor 1GC, one suction
device and a 1 3/4" (45mm) hose to connect the two. All Lincoln
suction devices come with adapters that mate with either 1 3/4"
(45mm) ID Lincoln flexhose or 1 3/4" (45mm) OD Lincoln rubber
hose. These adapters connect to the flexhose by screwing onto
the wire helix that reinforces the hose. The adapters then
squeeze over the OD of the tube connections on both the suction
device and the X-Tractor. The X-Tractor 1GC uses a 2" (50mm)
OD connection and an SR-4550 adapter. (S20591-8)
Recommended hose for the X-Tractor 1GC are:
S19947-9 : 10 ft., 1 3/4" (45mm) flexhose
S19947-5 : 16 ft. 1 3/4" (45mm) flexhose
S19947-10 : 25 ft., 1 3/4" (45mm) flexhose
S14927-8 : 15 ft. 1 3/4" (45mm) OD rubber hose
Consult Lincoln’s Environmental Systems Division before using
any other size or length of hose.
