FCS 203 Wire Feeder View
This secure lifting handle is for lifting only. It should not be used to suspend the wire feeder. To suspend the wire feeder, tap into the bottom skid
and use it to suspend the wire feeder.
The clam shell cover should not be removed and should be kept closed while in operation and storage. The only time the clam shell cover should
be open is while servicing the wire or the unit.
Keep cover closed while in operation and storage. The only time the feeder cover should be open is during service or exchanging wire.
Keep switch flipped up unless using a spool gun. Up For MIG, Down for Spool gun. (Spool gun attaches to the main euro connection and the
control connection (5).
This provides operating service to the Spool gun motor and controls the wire speed.
The wire feeder controls the main adjustments for the welder while being used for wire feed operations. This controls wire feed speed/Amps while
wire feed welding. The display on the machine will actually read on percent of maximum wire speed. As the knob is adjusted a value from 0 to
100% will be displayed on the power source. During welding the power source display will change to read in actual measured output of Amps.
The wire feeder controls the main adjustments for the welder while being used for wire feed operations. This controls voltage while wire feed
welding. The power source will display the range of voltage while the knob is being adjusted. The actual measured voltage will be displayed on
the power source while welding. Actual output voltage is affected by arc length.
The Euro quick connector is the connection for both the standard MIG gun and the Spool Gun. No tools are required to install/remove MIG gun.
The carrier supports the wire spool. The hand nut captures and holds the spool onto the carrier shaft. The nut must be installed during operation.
Tighten hand tight only to prevent overtightening. If the nut cannot be completely tightened, check for obstructions and see that the locating pin
seated home fully. Some brands of wire spools have shallow locating holes. The locating pin can be trimmed by hand to shorten the length.
This unit features 4 drive rolls that are fully driven top and bottom. The bottom rollers contains grooves to accommodate different wire sizes and
can be changed to suit the wire size desired. Optional sizes are available. Smaller wire sizes will require gun and/or liner change. Only the bottom
grooved rollers are changed and the replacement kits contain 2 drive rolls total. The top rollers are smooth and are not changed.
The wire feeder is connected to the power source via an umbilical. This umbilical contains three supply lines. (A) Shielding Gas Line. (B) Control
Line. (C) Welding Power Supply Cable. The umbilical is secured by the bracket (D).
