SAFETY Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment. The following recommen- dations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.

WARNING Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precausions when welding. Ask for your employer’s safety practices which should be based on manufacturers’ hazard data. ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards. Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
The wire feed units contain four--wheel drive wire feed mechanisms as well as control electronics. They can be used together with wire on ESAB’s MarathonPact, or on wire bobbin (standard Ø 300 mm, accessory Ø 440 mm). The wire feed unit can be installed either on the power source trolley, suspended above the workplace, on a counter balance device or on the floor with or without wheel set.

Lifting instructions Order number for lifting eyelet can be found on page 20. NOTE! If another mounting device is used, this must be electrically insulated from the wire feed unit. OPERATION General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on page 3.
Water connection The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP (ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected. When connecting a water--cooled welding gun, the water pump starts. Detection only works with power sources that are equipped with ELP.
Wire feed pressure Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then set the pressure of the wire feeder’s pressure rollers. It is important that the pressure is not too great. Fig 1 Fig 2 To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against an insulated object, e.g.
Changing feed rollers on Feed 3004 Open the side panel Disconnect the pressure sensor (1) by folding it backwards. Disconnect the pressure rollers (2) by turning the axle (3) 1/4 turn clockwise and pulling out the axle. The pressure rollers disconnect. Disconnect the feed rollers (4) by unscrewing the nuts (5) and pulling out the rollers.
