Output Problems
Problems
Symptoms
Rec. Course of action
Machine is dead – No Output –
No fan
1 Make sure the input switch is
in the ‘ON ‘ position
2 Check the input voltage at
the machine. Input voltage
must match the rating plate.
Refer to installation in this
manual.
3 Blown or missing fuses on
mains input.
If all recommended areas of
fault have been checked and
problem persists, Contact
R-Tech Welding for repair.
Fan runs normally at power up
– No output from machine
