6.3 Liner Removal, Installation and Trimming
Instructions for LINC Gun
Note: The variation in cable lengths prevents the inter-
changeability of liners between guns. Once a liner has
been cut for a particular gun, it should not be installed
in another gun unless it can meet the liner cutoff length
requirement.
1.
Remove the gas nozzle and gas diffuser, (if used), to locate
the set screw in the gas diffuser which is used to hold the
old liner in place. Loosen the set screw with an Allen key.
2.
Remove the contact tip holder from the gun tube.
3.
Lay the gun and cable out straight on a flat surface. Loosen
the liner nut cap located in the brass connector at the
feeder end of the cable and pull the liner out of the cable.

Note: This procedure is for 'machines as built' many modifications
could have taken place over the life of a particular machine, so
details of this procedure may need to be 'adjusted' to suit these
modifications.
For prompt service contact your local Lincoln Field Service Shop.
The insulation resistance values listed below are from Australian
Standard AS60974-.1.
1)
Disconnect input cable from power outlet.
2)
Disconnect all output cables (control & weld).
3)
Remove the roof panel.
4)
Jumper the three (3) AC terminals and the (+) & (-)
terminals of the three phase bridge rectifier (A total of five
(5) places).
Procedure for Replacing PC Boards
Before replacing a PC board suspected of being defective, visually
inspect the PC board in question for any visible damage to any of
its components and conductors on the back of the board.
1.
If there is no visible damage to the PC board, install a new
one and see if this remedies the problem. If the problem
is remedied, reinstall the original PC board to see if the
problem still exists. If the problem no longer exists with the
old PC board:
a. Check the PC board harness connector pins for
corrosion, contamination, or looseness.
Changing Settings for Motor Acceleration
If Motor Acceleration needs to be altered from factory setting,
because of the welding procedure being used, locate the PCB in
the REDI-MIG
325c or REDI-MIG

4.
Insert a new untrimmed liner into the connector end of the
cable.
5.
Fully seat the liner bushing into the Euro connector.
Tighten the liner nut cap on the brass cable connector. The
contact tip holder, at this time, should not be installed onto
the end of the gun tube.
6.
With the contact tip holder still removed from the gun tube,
be sure the cable is straight, and then trim the liner to
length. Remove any burrs from the end of the liner.
7.
Screw the contact tip holder onto the end of the gun tube
and securely tighten. Be sure the contact tip holder is
correct for the tips being used.
8.
Tighten the set screw in the side of the gas diffuser against
the cable liner using an Allen key. Do not overtighten.

Refit the roof panel.
b. Check leads in the plug harness for loose or intermittent
connection.
2.
If PC board is visibly damaged, before possibly subjecting
the new PC board to the same cause of failure, check for
possible shorts, opens or grounds caused by:
a. Damaged lead insulation.
b. Poor lead termination, such as a poor contact or a short
to adjacent connection or surface.
c. Shorted or open motor leads, or other external leads.
d. Foreign matter or interference behind the PC board.
3.
If PC board is visibly damaged, inspect for cause, then
remedy before installing a replacement PC board.
On the PCB there is a trimmer labelled 'Rampa', this trimmer
controls the acceleration rate of the drive motor from stationary
to the set wire feed speed. Maximum acceleration when fully
counter-clockwise to minimum acceleration when fully clockwise.
This is particularly important when welding aluminium wire. The
factory setting is fully clockwise.
