ALIGNMENT
(Figure

The
upper
drive
roll
mounting
bracket,
which
holds
the
upper
drive
roll,
can
be
moved
on
a
horizontal
plane
in
order
to
facilitate
alignment
of
the
groove
in
the
upper
drive
roll
with
respect
to
the
groove
in
the
lower
drive
roll.
The
upper
drive
roll
should
be
checked
for
proper
alignment
whenever
erratic
wire
feed
is
noted
or
whenever
the
drive
rolls
are
changed.
To
check
for
proper
alignment
of
the
upper
drive
roll,
remove
the
outlet
guide
and
look
into
the
outlet
guide
hole
in
the
drive
assembly.
Upon
viewing
the
groove
between
the
drive
rolls
it
should
be
noted
that
the
outer
edges
of
the
grooves
on
the
upper
and
lower
drive
rolls
should
be
precisely
aligned.
Figure
2-3
shows
examples
of
proper
and
improper
alignment.
If
the
drive
rolls
are
not
in
alignment,
proceed
as
follows
to
adjust
the
upper
drive
roll:
1.
Loosen
the
pressure
adjustment
knob.
2.
Using
a
9/16
wrench,
loosen the
outer
securing
bolt.
3.
Using
a
5/8
wrench,
rotate
the
adjustment
nut
as
re
quired.
Rotating
the
adjustment
nut
clockwise
will
move
the
drive
roll
outward
and
counterclockwise
rotation
will
move
the
drive
roll
inward.
4.
When
proper
alignment
is
achieved,
tighten
the
Outer
securing
bolt
to
lock
the
drive
roll
in

no

and
the

should
be

If
the
reading
is
not
in
the
34
to
38
volts
range,
proceed
to
the
remaining
steps.
5.
Shut
the
welding
power
source
down.
6.
Remove
the
two
screws
which
secure
the
front
panel
of
the
control
place
and
swing
the
front
panel
down.
7.
If
the
reading
on
the
voltmeter
was
below
34
volts,
move
the
variable
resistor
hand
in
the
control
until
down,
If
the
reading
on
the
voltmeter
was
above
38
volts,
move
the
resistor
band
up.
After
the
band
is
moved,
close
and
secure
the
front
panel,
energize
the
welding
power
source,
and
recheck
the
voltmeter
reading.
Due
to
the
fact
that
the
band
setting
is
made
by
trial
and
error
process,
it
may
be
necessary
to
move
the
resistor
band
several
times
before
the
voltmeter
reading
is
in
the
34
to
38
volts
range.
NOTE
If
the
proper
range
cannot
be
achieved,
a
welding
power
source
with
very
high
or
low
open-circuit
voltage
is
indicated.
This
condition
will
not
damage
the
control/feeder,
but
will
cause
the inch
speed
to
be
faster
or
slower than
normal.
Ensure
that
the
contacting
surfaces
of
the
weld
cable
terminals
are
kept
clean
at
all
times.
Also
ensure
that
the
bolts
on
these
terminals
are
secure.
If
either
one
of
the
above
conditions
is
not
met,
erratic
weld
current
i
could
result.
The
ground
clamp
on
the
control/feeder
must
be
attached
to
either
the
work
clamp
from
the
welding
power
source
or
to
the
negative

terminal
on
the
welding
power
source.

This
control/feeder
is
designed
to
operate
from
the
open

voltage
of
the
welding
power
source.
Due
to
the
fact
that
all
welding
power
sources
do
not
have
the
same
open

voltage
rating
it
may
be
necessary
to
perform
some
adjustments
on
this
control/feeder
in
order
to
have
the
control/feeder
operate
properly.
Proceed
to
the
following
steps
to
check
if
the
control/feeder
is
set
for
the
open

being
used
and
if
not,
how
to
properly

ADVANCE/RETRACT
SWITCH
(Figure

The
ADVANCE/RETRACT
Switch
provides
a
means
of
mov
ing
the
electrode
wire
either
in
or
out
of
the
gun
without
having
to
touch
the
electrode
wire
to
the
workpiece.

ARC
CONTROL
(Figure
3-1)
while
the
HI
position
will
provide
a
faster
and
lighter
powered
wire
feed.
The
HI
position
should
only
be
used
when
the
setting
of
the
ARC
CONTROL
is
down
to
the
2
position
and
the
desired

rate
is
still
not

The
ARC
Control
provides
a
means
of
determining
the
rate
at
which
welding
wire
will
be
fed
into
the
weld.
Rotating
the
ARC
CONTROL
in
a
clockwise
direction
(towards
the
10
setting)
will
decrease
the
rate
of
wire
feed
and
thereby
pro.
vide
a
longer
arc.
Rotating
the
ARC
CONTROL
in
a
counter
clockwise
direction
(towards
the
0
setting)
will
increase
the
wire
feed
rate
and
thereby
provide
a
shorter
arc.

SWITCH
(Figure

equipped
with
a
RANGE
Switch
which
will
provide
two

ranges.
The
LO
position
of
the

Do
not

RELAY
ADJUSTMENT
(Figure
5-1
&
5-2)
In
order
to
obtain
maximum
relay
contact
life,
proper
relay
adjustment
must
be
maintained.
Relay
adjustment
should
also
be
checked
in
the
event
that
the
control/feeder
should
malfunction.
A.
Upper
Contact
Adjustment
1.
Close
the
relay
manually
by
applying
pressure
to
the
movable
contact
mounting
board.
2.
Slowly
release
the
pressure
being
applied
to
the
contact
mounting
board.
3.
The
two
movable
outer
contacts
should
touch
the
top
outer
contacts
simultaneously
if
properly
adjusted.
4.
If
the
contacts
are
not
properly
adjusted,
bend
the
arm
of
the
movable
contact
which
is
Out
of
alignment
in
order
to
synchronize
the
two
Outer
contacts
for
simultaneous
con-
tact.
B.
Lower
Contact
Adjustment
1.
Close
the
relay
slowly
by
gradually
applying
pressure
to
the
movable
contact
mounting
board.
2.
The
three
movable
contacts
should
touch
the
three
lower
contacts
simultaneously
if
properly
adjusted.
3.
If
the
contacts
are
not
properly
adjusted,
loosen
the
lock
ing
nut
on
the
lower
contact
or
contacts
which
are
out
of
alignment
and
then
rotate
the
lower
contact(s)
as
required
in
order
to
properly
align
the
lower
contact.
Ensure
that
the
locking
nut
is
tightened
after
alignment
in
order
to
avoid
unintentional
movement
of
the
