TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Observe all Safety Guidelines detailed throughout this manual.
PROBLEMS
(SYMPTOMS)
The drive motor does not turn
when the gun trigger is activated.
The displays are lit and the correct
input voltage (42 VAC) is applied
to the LN-10.
The drive motor does not turn,
although the arc voltage is present
and the gas solenoid works when
the gun trigger is activated.
There is NO control of wire feed
speed. The motor turns, the gas
solenoid operates and arc voltage
is present. The WFS can be pre-
set.
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact the Lincoln Electric
Service Department for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call 1-800-833-9353.
