CHECK WIRE PATH

Make certain that the welding wire is actually going into the torch liner. If not, the wire can jam
or keep the wire from feeding correctly.
m. Check to see if the wire is in the drive roller groove, then release the tension arm into
place on the drive roller.
n. Tighten (turn clockwise) the pressure arm adjustment knob (if needed) until the
tension roller is applying enough force on the wire to prevent it from slipping out of the
drive assembly. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. See Figure 5.
o. NOW YOU CAN RELEASE THE WIRE.
p. Plug in the welder and turn the power switch to the ON position. Set the VOLTAGE
and wire speed on the front of the welder.
NOTE: Due to wire swelling that may occur when aluminum wire gets hot, it may be
necessary to use a contact tip one size larger than your wire if wire jams occur.
q. Slide the contact tip over the wire (protruding from the end of the torch). Thread the
contact tip into the end of the torch and hand-tighten securely with a pliers
Install the nozzle on the gun assembly.
r.
s. Cut off the excess wire that extends past the end of the nozzle. Leave ¼" sticking out.
7. GAS INSTALLATION
Shielding gas cylinders and high pressure cylinders can explode if damaged, so treat them
carefully.

Never expose cylinders to high heat, sparks, open flames, mechanical shocks, or arcs.

Do not weld on the cylinder.
