Filling with flux (applies to A6 TFD1 och A6 TFD2)
1. Close the flux valve on the flux container.
2. Remove the separator from the flux recovery unit, if fitted. Fill with flux.
NOTE! The flux must be dry. Whenever possible avoid using agglomerated flux
outdoors or in a damp environment.
3. Adjust the height of the flux nozzle above the weld, to give the correct coverage
of flux. The flux cover should be sufficient to prevent the arc burning through.
Conversion of A6 TFD1 (submerged arc welding) to MIG/MAG welding
1. Replacing the wire feed motor and gearbox.
2. Reconnect the PEG1 control unit as described in the operators' manual for
PEG1.

NOTE! There must not be any variation in the joint gap width.
To avoid the risk of hot cracking the weld width must be greater than the penetra-
S
tion.
Always weld a test piece with the same joint preparation and plate thickness as
S
the production work piece.
NOTE! Never make a test weld on a production work piece.
