WORDS
The following safety alert symbol and signal words are
used throughout this manual to call attention to and
identify different levels of hazard and special instruc-
tions.
This safety alert symbol is used with the signal

IMPORTANT statements identify special instructions
necessary for the most efficient operation of this equip-
ment.
1-3. DESCRIPTION
The cross slide design provides horizontal or vertical
movement of welding equipment. Two cross slides may
be installed to provide X-Y (both horizontal and vertical)
movement of welding equipment.
Cross slide mounted equipment must be within the lim-
its of the loading curve shown in Chart 1-1.
SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Shut down wire feeder system and
welding power source, and disconnect
input power employing lockout/tagging
procedures before inspecting, installing,
or servicing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of pad-
locking line disconnect switch in open posi-
tion, removing fuses from fuse box, or shut-
ting off and red-tagging circuit breaker or oth-
er disconnecting device.
2-1. INSTALLATION (Figure 3-1)
WARNING: Read and follow safety infor-
mation at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
CAUTION: WELD SPATTER, DIRT, AND
DUST can affect cross slide operation.
• Mount cross slide where it will be least
subjected to weld spatter, dirt, and dust.
IMPORTANT: The 4-1/4 in. (108 mm) square mounting
hole pattern in the cross slide bottom pan and carrier
plate permits mounting one cross slide on top of another
to provide X-Y movement
1. Turn crank handle to move carrier plate and ex-
pose two mounting holes in bottom pan. Install
supplied 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 cap screws and lock
washers.
2. Turn crank handle to move carrier plate in oppo-
site direction and expose two remaining
mounting holes in bottom pan. Install supplied
3/8-16 x 1-1/4 cap screws and lock washers.
3. Install welding equipment on carrier plate using
customer supplied 3/8-16 cap screws. Mounting
screws should not interfere with carrier travel.
2-2. SHAFT TENSION ADJUSTMENT (Figure 3-1)
WARNING: Read and follow safety infor-
mation at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
The cross slide has been factory set to require 12 in.-lb.
(82.7 kPa) torque to turn the crank handle and should
not require further adjustment. If the cross slide compo-
nents work loose and the handle turns too freely,
readjust as follows:
1. Remove all equipment mounted to the carrier
plate.
2. Loosen cone point set screw. Tighten screw drive
nut on the drive screw until sufficient drag is felt
while turning crank handle.
3. Tighten set screw on the screw drive nut.
4. Install equipment removed in Step 1.
2-3. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION (Figure 3-1)
WARNING: Read and follow safety infor-
mation at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
Every six months clean and apply a light lubricant, such
as SAE 20 oil, to the drive screw and the slide bars (see
Figure 3-1, items 4, 10 and 11).
