  • Page 21: Troubleshooting

    ECTION ROUBLESHOOTING Regardless of which torch or feeder used, all MK Products push-pull guns operate on the same principle. The 115 VAC or 42VAC slave motor in the feeder runs at a fast, constant speed, but has very low torque. It is always trying to feed more wire than the torch motor wants, and when the motor gets all it wants, it slows the slave motor, preventing a bird’s nest.

  • Page 22: Troubleshooting Guide

    Trouble 115/42VAC control fuse in feeder. No wire feed at torch, feeder no Micro-switch defective/not being operating, i.e. no slave motor or brake activated. solenoid. Broken electrical cable. 4 amp fuse (F1) in feeder/Control box blown. Bad potentiometer. No wire feed at torch, feeder operating properly.

  • Page 23: Testing The Torch

    ESTING ORCH OTOR HECK Remove the torch connector from the cabinet. Using the torch Amphenol, check the resistance across pins “A” and “B” (motor leads). The resistance across the motor should be between 5-10 ohms. If an open circuit or short exist, check the motor leads and motor indepen- dently.
