Remove wrapper from Reinstall cover and unit. secure with screws (3). Route wires, cable, and hose to avoid contact with sharp edges, hot surfaces, or moving parts.
3-4. Installing Contact Tip And Nozzle Flux Nozzle Use with flux cored wire only. Narrow design allows access in tight spaces and provides better visibility of puddle during welding. Push nozzle over contact tip and adapter until it is seated onto adapter.
3-5. Threading Welding Wire Tools Needed: Open pressure assembly. Tighten Be sure that wire is positioned in proper feed roll groove. Close and tighten pressure assembly, and let go of wire. Press gun trigger until wire comes out of gun. OM-225 333 Page 6 Hold wire tightly to keep it from unraveling.
SECTION 4 − OPERATION 4-1. Operating The Gun Trigger Switch When pressed, energized wire feeds and shielding gas flows (if unit is equipped with optional gas solenoid). Ref. 804 240-A OM-225 333 Page 7...
