CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The machine requires no maintenance other than the following guidelines. Cleaning

at frequent intervals is advisable if the unit is operating in a very dusty environment.

Avoid getting particles of metal inside the machine since they could cause short

circuits.

1. Keep the louvres clean to avoid a build up of dirt and oxides inside the machine

which can reduce machine output.

2. Check all cables periodically for good condition and security.

3. Always inspect the earth cable and torch hose before use, to ensure they are in

perfect condition and that the earth clamp is clean and secured correctly to the

cable.

4. Check the hose for security and damage.

Wire feed unit:

The feed roller / wire guide plays an important part in achieving consistent results.

Periodically check the feed roller groove, removing any deposits.

Torch:

Protect the torch hose assembly from mechanical wear. If the liner is blocked it must

be replaced.

Contact tip:

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.

To keep the contact tip free from spatter, we recommend the use of anti-spatter spray

(6000715) available from your CLARKE dealer.

Torch shroud:

The torch shroud 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

expensive machine repairs.

WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL - NEVER TOUCH LIVE

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

WARNING: DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY BEFORE ALL

INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS. BEWARE HOT

SURFACES.
