When is Maintenance Required?
Maintenance requirements will vary with environment and usage. Dirty
work areas or high volume stud welding will require more frequent main-
tenance.
There are three primary reasons for maintenance:
Dirt - Dirt can enter the lifting mechanism and cause erratic lift and
plunge operations. Typically , cleaning is all that is required.
Wear - Components do wear out over time. Typically, items such
as plastic bearings or cables wear out and need to be replaced.
Improper Use - Components can arc out by inadvertently placing
them against grounded materials during a weld sequence. Also, by us-
ing the gun as a hammer to test welds will damage parts and require
maintenance.
