Maintenance, Fault Finding and Warranty.
Used correctly, you can expect a long life from a Parker
Torchology Pull-Mig torch, but in order to ensure this
long life, there are a few precautions you should take
note of when using and servicing your torch.
We would recommend that you should pay attention to
the following:
O Ring care
Swan necks are fitted with O-rings to seal both water
and gas channels. The condition of these rings is critical
to the smooth operation of a Parker Torchology Pull-
Mig torch. Damage to these O-rings may affect the weld
performance.
Great care should always be taken when removing or
replacing the neck. Each time the neck is withdrawn from
the body, the O-rings should be inspected. If any wear or
damage is suspected, the O-rings must be replaced.
Any suitable lubricant designed for O-Ring assembly
should always be applied to the O-rings whenever the
neck is removed, or when fitting replacement O-rings.
When applying lubricant,care should be taken not to
block any of the gas or water passage holes.
Front-end consumables
The nozzle, contact tip and diffuser all run at very high
temperatures and you should regularly inspect them
for wear and operational damage. When changing a
contact tip, always use a contact tip spanner to prevent
over tightening. Repeated over tightening will destroy the
threads in the tip adaptor.
Drive Rolls
Always make sure you have the correct drive roll for the
type and size wire you are using and note that the drive
roll threads are
Left-Hand
and the drive roll can be
inverted to double its life.
The drive roll and pressure roll should be inspected
regularly for wear. Run the gun in a quiet place, without
wire feeding and listen for any unusual noises. You can
eliminate pressure roll from drive roll noise by releasing
the pressure arm. If you suspect something is wrong,
you should contact your distributor or dealer.
The area around the drive roll should be regularly
dusted off to prevent dust and workshop debris from
accumulating. We do not recommend lubricating the
drive shaft or pressure roll. These are sealed for life
units and lubrication oils or greases will only pick up dust
and turn these oils and greases into a grinding paste. A
simple dust off is all that is required.
The gearbox, drive motor and shaft top bearing are also
sealed for life. No maintenance is required.
