SECTION 5:
SERVICE
5.01 Routine Maintenance
The only routine maintenance required for the power
supply is a thorough cleaning and inspection, with the
frequency determined by the usage and the operating
environment.
!
WARNING
Disconnect primary power at the source
before opening the enclosure. Wait at least
two minutes before opening the enclosure
to allow the primary capacitors to discharge.
To clean the unit, open the enclosure (please refer to
Section 6.3, Opening the Enclosure) and use a vacuum
cleaner to remove any accumulated dirt and dust. The unit
should also be wiped clean, if necessary, with solvents
that are recommended for cleaning electrical apparatus.
CAUTION
Do not blow air into the power supply during
cleaning. Blowing air into the unit can cause
metal particles to interfere with sensitive
electrical components and cause damage to
the unit.
5.02 Basic Troubleshooting
You should always attempt to isolate and fix a problem using
this section first. This section on basic troubleshooting
will help you isolate faults and problems that are easily
remedied without requiring that the power supply be
opened, or requiring specialized test equipment and
procedures. If the problem or fault cannot be corrected
by following the recommendations in this section, then
proceed to Section 6.0 on Advanced Troubleshooting.
5.03 Common Welding Operation Faults
The following are some of the more common operating
faults that occur during welding operations:
a. power
Main power not connected
Main power not turned on
MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER set of OFF position
INPUT SELECTOR (Easy Link) Switch in wrong

If the problem is not resolved after checking the above,
the following guide may suggest more specific items to
