Routine Maintenance
Recommended Periodic Maintenance
Tactical Welder
• Inspecting the case for damage, evidence of “hot spots”, or
corrosion
• Inspect and clean all ports
Welding Gun
• Keep grinding grit from getting into the gun. Do not lay the gun on
dirty or gritty surfaces and set the gun down as far away from
grinding activities and grit sources as possible.
• Proper lubrication of moving parts is essential for long life. We
recommend using fully synthetic motor oil for all the lubrication
needs of the welding gun. Be aware, use of petroleum based
lubricants can adversely affect the gun body and gas valve
action.
• Regularly blow the gun clean with compressed air.
Replacing Tip Assembly Components
• With use, the welding tips will need to be replaced intermittently.
Recommended replacement tips are standard #2 Tweco tips
or compatible. Dedicated tips should be used when welding
various types of metals (i.e., do not use the same tip for welding
aluminum and steel). When welding aluminum, be sure to use a
contact tip which is .005” larger than the feed wire itself.
Welding Gun
• Periodic lubrication of gun components is required for a long
service life. Note: Do not get oil on surface of the plastic roller
and main shaft. Use silicon oil on gears and shafts. Oil all parts
sparingly with a toothpick or Q-Tip.
Troubleshooting
Trouble
Possible Problem
Possible Solution
Welder not turning on
Power Pack depleted
Charge Power Pack. If the fuel gauge reads full
and the unit will not turn on contact support.
Welder shuts down while welding
Power Pack could be depleted or the Welder is
too hot
Check the fuel gauge if it shows the battery
is still full or near full, let the Power Pack rest.
Once the internal temperature is back in the
safe range, the unit will be able to be turned and
welding continued.
Wire not feeding when trigger is pressed on the
spool gun/and feed motor is activating
Wire feed speed is too low/ welding wire spool is
empty/ welding tip may be clogged.
Turn the wire feed speed knob counter
clockwise to increase the speed. (Turn unit off
before these steps) Check the spool. If the tip is
clogged you can attempt to clear it by filing the
tip to clear any melted weld wire stuck to the tip
or just swap out the tip.
Excessive spatter while welding
Ground polarity may be wrong/ gas pressure not
sufficient to properly shield the arc.
Turn the unit off and swap the ground and spool
gun connection (FCAW). Check shielding gas
pressure to ensure it set at the proper level for
the type of welding being performed (GMAW).
