7. MAINTENANCE
v
DANGER! Unplug the welder from the mains power supply before performing maintenance or service.
7.1. Wire feed unit:
7.1.1. Check the wire feed unit at regular intervals. The feed roller wire guide plays an important part in obtaining consistent results. Poor wire feed
affects the weld. Clean the rollers weekly, especially the feed roller groove, removing all dust deposits.
7.2. Torch:
7.2.1. Protect the torch cable assembly from mechanical wear. Clean the liner from the machine forwards by using compressed air. If the liner is
blocked it must be replaced.
7.3. Contact tip
(to remove tip follow steps in section 4.3)
7.3.1. The contact tip is a consumable item and must be replaced when the bore becomes enlarged or oval. The contact tip must be kept free
from spatter to ensure an unimpeded flow of gas.
7.4. Gas cup
(to remove cup follow steps in section 4.3)
7.4.1. The gas cup must also be kept clean and free from spatter. Build-up of spatter inside the gas cup can cause a short circuit at the contact tip
which will result in either the fuse blowing on the printed circuit card, or expensive machine repairs. To keep the contact tip free from spatter,
we recommend the use of anti-spatter spray (MIG/722307) available from your Sealey dealer.
7.5. Replacing wire liner.
7.5.1. A worn or damaged wire liner will affect the performance of the welder seriously and should be replaced immediately. First wind the wire
back onto the spool and secure it. Remove the four screws securing the torch cable clamp to the wire feed unit (fig.11) and take off the
clamp. Undo the torch case (fig.12) and pull the wire liner from the insulation block. Pull out the liner from the torch cable and insert the
new one. Reverse the process to re-assemble. Ensure the liner is fully inserted into the torch insulation block and reassemble the torch.
Trim the other end of the liner as close to the feed roller as possible. Replace the torch cable clamp.
