SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1.0 Safety Precautions
1.1 Safety - English
WARNING: These Safety Precautions are
for your protection. They summarize pre-
cautionary information from the references
listed in Additional Safety Information sec-
tion. Before performing any installation or operating
procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precau-
tions listed below as well as all other manuals, material
safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety
Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS --
Some welding, cutting, and gouging
processes are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, emits
ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation
and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause
burns. Training in the proper use of the processes
and equipment is essential to prevent accidents.
Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any
work area, even if welding helmets, face shields, and
goggles are also required.
2. Use a face shield tted with the correct lter and
cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck, and
ears from sparks and rays of the arc when operating
or observing operations. Warn bystanders not to
watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the
rays of the electric-arc or hot metal.
3. Wear ameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-
sleeve shirt, cuess trousers, high-topped shoes,
and a welding helmet or cap for hair protection, to
protect against arc rays and hot sparks or hot metal.
A ameproof apron may also be desirable as protec-
tion against radiated heat and sparks.
4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves,
trouser cus, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should
be kept buttoned, and open pockets eliminated from
the front of clothing.
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot
sparks with a suitable non-ammable partition or
curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag
or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can y far.
Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety
glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS -- Heat from
ames and arcs can start res. Hot
slag or sparks can also cause res and
explosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from
the work area or cover the materials with a protec-
tive non-ammable covering. Combustible materials
include wood, cloth, sawdust, liquid and gas fuels,
solvents, paints and coatings, paper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or
crevices in oors or wall openings and cause a hid-
den smoldering re or res on the oor below. Make
certain that such openings are protected from hot
sparks and metal.“
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the
workpiece has been completely cleaned so that there
are no substances on the workpiece which might
produce ammable or toxic vapors. Do not do hot
work on closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have re extinguishing equipment handy for instant
use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand bucket,
or portable re extinguisher. Be sure you are trained
in its use.
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For ex-
ample, overloaded welding cable can overheat and
create a re hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area
to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot metal
which could cause a later re. Use re watchers when
necessary.
7. For additional information, refer to NFPA Standard
51B, "Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and Welding
Processes", available from the National Fire Protec-
tion Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA
02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK -- Contact with
live electrical parts and ground can
cause severe injury or death. DO NOT
use AC welding current in damp areas,
if movement is conned, or if there is
danger of falling.
8
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is con-
nected to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical
ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor
or missing connection can expose you or others
to a fatal shock.
4. Use well-maintained equipment. Replace worn or
damaged cables.
5. Keep everything dry, including clothing, work
area, cables, torch/electrode holder, and power
source.
6. Make sure that all parts of your body are insulated
from work and from ground.
7. Do not stand directly on metal or the earth while
working in tight quarters or a damp area; stand
on dry boards or an insulating platform and wear
rubber-soled shoes.
8. Put on dry, hole-free gloves before turning on the
power.
9. Turn o the power before removing your gloves.
10. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listed on
next page) for specic grounding recommenda-
tions. Do not mistake the work lead for a ground
cable.
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
— May be dangerous. Electric cur-
rent owing through any conduc-
tor causes localized Electric and
Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and
cutting current creates EMF around welding cables
and welding machines. Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their
physician before welding. EMF may interfere with
some pacemakers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health eects which
are unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to
minimize exposure to EMF:
A. Route the electrode and work cables together.
Secure them with tape when possible.
B. Never coil the torch or work cable around your
body.
C. Do not place your body between the torch and
work cables. Route cables on the same side of
your body.
D. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close
as possible to the area being welded.
E. Keep welding power source and cables as far
away from your body as possible.
FUMES AND GASES -- Fumes and
gases, can cause discomfort or harm,
particularly in conned spaces. Do
not breathe fumes and gases. Shield-
ing gases can cause asphyxiation.
Therefore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area
by natural or mechanical means. Do not weld, cut, or
gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stain-
less steel, copper, zinc, lead, beryllium, or cadmium
unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided.
Do not breathe fumes from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying opera-
tions. The heat or arc rays can react with chlorinated
hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly
toxic gas, and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose, or throat ir-
ritation while operating, this is an indication that
ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take
necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work
area. Do not continue to operate if physical discom-
fort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below)
for specic ventilation recommendations.

or cutting, produces fumes or gases
which contain chemicals known to
the State of California to cause birth
defects and, in some cases, cancer.
(California Health & Safety Code
§25249.5 et seq.)
CYLINDER HANDLING -- Cylinders,
if mishandled, can rupture and vio-
lently release gas. Sudden rupture
of cylinder, valve, or relief device can
injure or kill. Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the
proper pressure reducing regulator designed to
operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not
use adaptors. Maintain hoses and ttings in good
condition. Follow manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions for mounting regulator to a compressed gas
cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by
chain or strap to suitable hand trucks, undercar-
riages, benches, walls, post, or racks. Never secure
cylinders to work tables or xtures where they may
become part of an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have
valve protection cap in place if regulator is not con-
nected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable
hand trucks. Avoid rough handling of cylinders.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks, and ames.
Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1,
"Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases
in Cylinders", which is available from Compressed
Gas Association, 1235 Jeerson Davis Highway,
Arlington, VA 22202.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE -- Faulty or
improperly maintained equipment can
cause injury or death. Therefore:
1. Always have qualied personnel perform the instal-
lation, troubleshooting, and maintenance work.
Do not perform any electrical work unless you are
qualied to perform such work.
2. Before performing any maintenance work inside a
power source, disconnect the power source from
the incoming electrical power.
3. Maintain cables, grounding wire, connections, power
cord, and power supply in safe working order. Do
not operate any equipment in faulty condition.
4. Do not abuse any equipment or accessories. Keep

d'autre rayons qui peuvent causer des blessures à la
peau et les yeux. Le métal incandescent peut causer
des brûlures. Une formation reliée à l'usage des
processus et de l'équipement est essentielle pour
prévenir les accidents. Par conséquent:
1. Portez des lunettes protectrices munies d'écrans la-
téraux lorsque vous êtes dans l'aire de travail, même
si vous devez porter un casque de soudeur, un écran
facial ou des lunettes étanches.
2. Portez un écran facial muni de verres ltrants et de
plaques protectrices appropriées an de protéger
vos yeux, votre visage, votre cou et vos oreilles des
étincelles et des rayons de l'arc lors d'une opération
ou lorsque vous observez une opération. Avertissez
les personnes se trouvant à proximité de ne pas re-
garder l'arc et de ne pas s'exposer aux rayons de l'arc
électrique ou le métal incandescent.
3. Portez des gants ignifugiés à crispin, une chemise
épaisse à manches longues, des pantalons sans rebord
et des chaussures montantes an de vous protéger des
rayons de l'arc, des étincelles et du métal incandescent,
en plus d'un casque de soudeur ou casquette pour
protéger vos cheveux. Il est également recommandé
de porter un tablier ininammable an de vous proté-
ger des étincelles et de la chaleur par rayonnement.
4. Les étincelles et les projections de métal incandescent
risquent de se loger dans les manches retroussées,
les rebords de pantalons ou les poches. Il est recom-
mandé de garder boutonnés le col et les manches et
de porter des vêtements sans poches en avant.
5. Protégez toute personne se trouvant à proximité des
étincelles et des rayons de l'arc à l'aide d'un rideau ou
d'une cloison ininammable.
6. Portez des lunettes étanches par dessus vos lunettes
de sécurité lors des opérations d'écaillage ou de
meulage du laitier. Les écailles de laitier incandescent
peuvent être projetées à des distances considérables.

SÉCURITÉ
3. Les soudeurs doivent suivre les procédures suivantes
pour minimiser l'exposition aux champs électriques
et magnétiques :
A. Acheminez l'électrode et les câbles de masse
ensemble. Fixez-les à l'aide d'une bande adhésive
lorsque possible.
B. Ne jamais enrouler la torche ou le câble de masse
autour de votre corps.
C. Ne jamais vous placer entre la torche et les câbles
de masse. Acheminez tous les câbles sur le même
côté de votre corps.
D. Branchez le câble de masse à la pièce à traiter le
plus près possible de la section à souder.
E. Veillez à garder la source d'alimentation pour le
soudage et les câbles à une distance appropriée
de votre corps.
LES VAPEURS ET LES GAZ -- peuvent
causer un malaise ou des dommages
corporels, plus particulièrement
dans les espaces restreints. Ne re-
spirez pas les vapeurs et les gaz. Le
gaz de protection risque de causer
l'asphyxie. Par conséquent :
1. Assurez en permanence une ventilation adéquate
dans l'aire de travail en maintenant une ventila-
tion naturelle ou à l'aide de moyens mécanique.
N'effectuez jamais de travaux de soudage, de
coupage ou de gougeage sur des matériaux tels que
l'acier galvanisé, l'acier inoxydable, le cuivre, le zinc,
le plomb, le berylliym ou le cadmium en l'absence
de moyens mécaniques de ventilation ecaces. Ne
respirez pas les vapeurs de ces matériaux.
2. N'eectuez jamais de travaux à proximité d'une
opération de dégraissage ou de pulvérisation. Lor-
sque la chaleur
ou le rayonnement de l'arc entre en contact avec les
vapeurs d'hydrocarbure chloré, ceci peut déclencher
la formation de phosgène ou d'autres gaz irritants,
tous extrêmement toxiques.
3. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la
gorge au cours d'une opération indique que la ven-
tilation n'est pas adéquate. Cessez votre travail an
de prendre les mesures nécessaires pour améliorer
la ventilation dans l'aire de travail. Ne poursuivez
pas l'opération si le malaise persiste.
4. Consultez ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (à la page
suivante) pour des recommandations spéciques
concernant la ventilation.
1. Assurez-vous que le châssis de la source
d'alimentation est branché au système de mise à
la terre de l'alimentation d'entrée.
2. Branchez la pièce à traiter à une bonne mise de
terre électrique.
3. Branchez le câble de masse à la pièce à traiter et
assurez une bonne connexion an d'éviter le risque
de choc électrique mortel.
4. Utilisez toujours un équipement correctement
entretenu. Remplacez les câbles usés ou endom-
magés.
5. Veillez à garder votre environnement sec, incluant
les vêtements, l'aire de travail, les câbles, le porte-
électrode/torche et la source d'alimentation.
6. Assurez-vous que tout votre corps est bien isolé
de la pièce à traiter et des pièces de la mise à la
terre.
7. Si vous devez eectuer votre travail dans un espace
restreint ou humide, ne tenez vous pas directe-
ment sur le métal ou sur la terre; tenez-vous sur
des planches sèches ou une plate-forme isolée et
portez des chaussures à semelles de caoutchouc.
8. Avant de mettre l'équipement sous tension, isolez
vos mains avec des gants secs et sans trous.
9. Mettez l'équipement hors tension avant d'enlever
vos gants.
10. Consultez ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (listé à
la page suivante) pour des recommandations
spéciques concernant les procédures de mise à
la terre. Ne pas confondre le câble de masse avec
le câble de mise à la terre.
CHAMPS ÉLECTRIQUES ET MAGNÉ-
TIQUES — comportent un risque de
danger. Le courant électrique qui
passe dans n'importe quel conduc-
teur produit des champs électriques
et magnétiques localisés. Le soudage et le cou-
rant de coupage créent des champs électriques
et magnétiques autour des câbles de soudage et
l'équipement. Par conséquent :
1. Un soudeur ayant un stimulateur cardiaque doit
consulter son médecin avant d'entreprendre une
opération de soudage. Les champs électriques et
magnétiques peuvent causer des ennuis pour cer-
tains stimulateurs cardiaques.
2. L'exposition à des champs électriques et magné-
tiques peut avoir des eets néfastes inconnus pour
la santé.
17
SÉCURITÉ
1. Efforcez-vous de toujours confier les tâches
d'installation, de dépannage et d'entretien à un
personnel qualié. N'eectuez aucune réparation
électrique à moins d'être qualié à cet eet.
2. Avant de procéder à une tâche d'entretien à
l'intérieur de la source d'alimentation, débranchez
l'alimentation électrique.
3. Maintenez les câbles, les ls de mise à la terre,
les branchements, le cordon d'alimentation et la
source d'alimentation en bon état. N'utilisez ja-
mais un équipement s'il présente une défectuosité
quelconque.
4. N'utilisez pas l'équipement de façon abusive. Gardez
l'équipement à l'écart de toute source de chaleur,

Be sure to properly insulate this connection before
applying power to the power source. Uninsulated
cable and parts can arc when contacting a ground-
ed surface. The arc may damage eyes or start a re.
Body contact with an uninsulated weld cable con-
nector, or uncovered conductor can shock, possibly
fatally.
B. Connect a second welding cable (work lead) between
the opposite polarity output connection on the power
source and the work piece.
C. Connect the wire feeder work lead (voltage pick-up)
alligator clip to the work piece.
D. If using with gas shielded wire, connect the inlet gas
hose to the gas inlet connections on the rear of the
feeder.
1. Make sure all hose and cable connections are
tight.
2. Turn power source “ON” and close the contactor if
power source is equipped with an output contac-
tor control switch. Open circuit voltage must be
present to operate the wire feeder.
3. Turn wire feeder power switch “ON”.
4. Inspect all gas connections for leaks.
Unless starting to weld, do not allow the welding wire
to touch a grounded metal surface. The welding wire
becomes electrically hot when the secondary contactor
is closed. Keep ngers clear of the drive rolls; they will
start turning when the torch trigger is pressed.
5. If using gas shielded wires, adjust the gas ow-
meter to the desired ow rate by closing the gun
trigger switch.
6. Turn power source and wire feeder OFF when not
in use.
2.3 TORCH CONNECTIONS
The torch adaptor on the MobileFeed connects directly
to the wire feeder wire drive assembly, power and shield-
ing gas supply. Line up the torch connector with the wire
feeder adaptor, push on rmly and hand tighten the lock-
ing collar on the Euro Connector.
Make sure the torch chosen is of the proper rating for
the welding current to be used, has the proper size
and type of liner, the proper contact tip and the proper
guide tube.
2.4 SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Before making any connections between the wire
feeder and the welding power source, turn o power
to the welding power source and the wire feeder.
The MobileFeed 300 AVS can be used with either DCEP
or DCEN polarity without modications.
A. Connect the welding cable from the power source;

2.5 THREADING THE WELDING WIRE
When the wire feeder is connected to the power source,
the work lead from the power source is connected to
the work piece and the power source is energized,
closing the torch trigger will cause the welding wire to
become electrically hot and will cause the drive rolls
to turn. Keep ngers clear!
A. Turn OFF the power source and the wire feeder.
B. Release the pressure roll assembly lever and check
for the proper drive roll, groove position and wire
guides.
Before threading welding wire, make sure the chisel
point and burrs have been removed from the end
of the wire to prevent the wire from jamming in the
torch liner.
C. Feed the wire from the spool through the inlet guide
along the drive roll groove and into the outlet guide
tube.
D. Lower the pressure roll assembly and adjust the drive
roll pressure to assure no wire slippage, but not too
tight to create excess pressure.
E. Turn ON the power source and the wire feeder. Close
the torch trigger to feed wire through the torch.
CAUTION
WARNING
2.6 BRAKE DRAG ADJUSTMENT
Brake disc friction should provide enough drag to keep the
wire spool from spinning freely after the wire feed stops.
The brake hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment
is required, follow the instructions below. Adjust the brake
hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
Adjusting the braking torque:
Turn the red handle to the locked position.t
Insert a screwdriver into the springs in the hub.t
Turn the springs counterclockwise to increase the braking
torque. Turn both springs through the same amount. Turn
the springs clockwise to reduce the braking torque.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.1.3 WIRE FEED SPEED (CONSTANT SPEED)
The MobileFeed 300 AVS can be switched to a “Non” Volt-
age Control Mode where the wire feed speed remains rela-
tively constant and will not change speed with changes
in arc voltage. Locate switch SW1 on the PC board and
position S1 and S2. See Figure 3-2 and Table 3.1.
3.1 CONTROLS
3.1.1 POWER SWITCH
The ON-OFF switch on the front of the wire feeder case en-
ergizes the wire feeder when the feeder is connected to the
power source and the work piece, and the power source is
turned ON with the contactor closed.
3.1.2 WIRE FEED SPEED (ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL)
The wire feed speed is controlled by the wire feed speed dial
on the front of the wire feeder case. When connected to a
constant voltage (cv) type power source, the wire feed speed
dial controls the welding current. Turning the dial clockwise
increases welding current; turning it counterclockwise de-
creases welding current.
When connected to a constant current (cc) type power source,
the wire feed speed dial controls the arc voltage. Turning the
wire feed speed dial clockwise decreases arc voltage; turning
it counterclockwise increases arc voltage. The actual wire feed
speed for any given setting varies with the arc voltage. In-
creasing arc voltage causes an increase in wire feed speed.
The MobileFeed 300 AVS wire feeder is equipped with au-
tomatic “Slow wire run-in”. If the wire feeder senses that
the power source output voltage is in excess of 33 volts,
the “run-in” wire speed automatically decreases for a xed
period of time (250ms) to improve arc starts. When the arc is
established, the wire feed speed is controlled by the wire feed
speed control knob on the MobileFeed front panel.

Description
Factory Setting - Constant Current Operation ( “Voltage Control Mode” )
In this operation mode the MobileFeed feeder is ready for connection to a “ Constant
Current “ power source which typically provides a high open circuit voltage and low
short circuit current which makes arc starting dicult. Therefore, “slow run-in” of the
wire is automatically enabled if OCV exceeds 33 volts to provide good and reliable
arc starting. The arc length during welding is determined by a combination of the
wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder front panel) and the weld “Cur-
rent” setting on the CC power source. When a good welding condition is achieved,
the arc length will be maintained by changes in wire feed speed provided by arc volt-
age control. Variables causing changes in arc voltage, for example, wire “stick-out”,
wire density or shielding variations, will cause the wire feed speed to compensate to
maintain the arc length preset.
Alternate Setting - Constant Voltage Operation ( “Constant Wire Feed Speed” )
In this operation mode the feeder is ready for connection to “ Constant Voltage “
power source which is typically used for most GMAW (MIG/MAG) welding. CV power
sources provide high short circuit currents for good arc starting and wire burn-o.
“Slow run-in” of the wire is automatically disabled. The arc length while welding is de-
termined by a combination of the wire feed speed knob position (MobileFeed feeder
front panel) and the weld “Voltage” setting on the CV power source. When a good
welding condition is achieved, the arc length will be maintained by the power source
and the wire feed speed will remain constant. Any variations in wire “stick-out”, wire
density or shielding variations, could cause the arc length (arc voltage) variations.
NOTE:
If both switches are placed in the OPEN (O) position the wire feed motor is disabled and the motor will NOT run.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.2 OPERATING PROCEDURES
3.2.1 OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Comply with all ventilation, re and other safety require-
ments for arc welding as established in the SAFETY Section
at the front of this manual.
A. Because of the radiant energy of the welding arc and
the possibility of drawing an arc before the helmet is
lowered over the face, the operator should wear ash
goggles with lter lenses under his helmet. The hel-
met lter plate should be shade number 11 (nonfer-
rous) or 12 (ferrous). All those viewing the arc should
use helmets with lter plates, as well as ash goggles.
Nearby personnel should wear ash goggles.
When the power switch is ON, and torch trigger is
depressed, the electrode wire becomes electrically
hot and the wire feed rolls are activated. Do not touch
the wire as it may cause a possibly fatal shock. Unless
welding, do not allow wire to touch a grounded metal
surface as it will cause an arc ash. Keep clear of feed
rolls and drive gears.
Prior to welding, it is imperative that proper protective
clothing (welding coat and gloves) and eye protection
(glasses and/or welding helmet) be put on. Failure to
comply may result in serious injury.
Do not terminate the arc by removing the torch from
the weld area. Release the torch trigger to stop welding
before removing the torch.
Failure to shut OFF shield gas in a conned space may
result in a build-up of fumes, displacing oxygen.
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
B. The radiant energy of the arc can decompose chlo-
rinated solvent vapors, such as trichloroethane and
perchlorethylene, to form phosgene, even when
these vapors are present in low concentrations. DO
NOT weld where chlorinated solvents are present in
atmospheres in or around the arc.
C. DO NOT touch the electrode, contact tip or metal parts
when power is ON: all are electrically energized (HOT)
and can cause a possibly fatal shock. DO NOT allow
electrode to touch grounded metal. It will create an
arc ash that can injure eyes. It may also start a re or
cause other damage.
D. When working in a conned space, be sure it is safe
to enter. The conned space should be tested for
adequate oxygen (at least 19%) with an approved
oxygen measuring instrument. The conned space
should not contain toxic concentrations of fumes
or gases. If this cannot be determined, the operator
should wear an approved air supplied breathing ap-
paratus. Avoid gas leaks in a conned space, as the
leaked gas can dangerously reduce oxygen concen-
tration in the breathing air. DO NOT bring gas cylin-
ders into conned spaces. When leaving a conned
space, shut OFF gas supply at the source to prevent
gas from leaking into the space. Check the breathing
atmosphere in the conned space to be sure it is safe
to reenter.
E. Never operate the equipment at currents greater than
the rated ampere capacity. Overheating will occur.
F. Never operate equipment in a damp or wet area with-
out suitable insulation for protection against shock.
Keep hands, feet and clothing dry at all times.
G. Whenever the equipment is left unattended, turn
OFF all control power, power supply switches and gas
supplies. Open the main line switch.
H. Wear dark substantial clothing to protect exposed
skin from arc burn, sparks and ying hot metal.
I. Turn o welding power before adjusting or replacing
electrodes.

SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.3 CHANGING METER DISPLAY - IPM TO MPM
WARNING
TO PREVENT ACCIDENTAL ELECTRIC SHOCK, BE
SURE CONTROL CABLE IS DISCONNECTED FROM
POWER SOURCE BEFORE WORKING INSIDE THE
WIRE FEEDER.
1. Make sure control cable is removed from the power
source.
2. Remove meter panel from front panel of the wire
feeder. Retain mounting screws.
3. Check the setting of the “dip switches” on the digital
meter board. These switches can be set up for meter
to read in inches per minute (IPM) or in meters per
minute (MPM) as shown below. The meter is factory
set in IPM positions.
Set the switch on the digital meter to the desired mode
of operation. If the IPM mode is selected, the meter will
read the PRE-SET wire speed when not feeding wire and
the ACTUAL wire speed when feeding wire. If the VOLTS
mode is selected, the meter will only read the ACTUAL
voltage.

NOTE
Using the “Constant Feed” dip switch settings when using a CC power source is NOT RECOMMENDED. Extreme wire feed
speed sensitivity exists making it dicult to set stable welding condition. The arc stability is very dependant on maintain-
ing constant TTW distance which is almost impossible to control when welding manually. “Constant Speed” settings is only
recommended for use with CV power sources.
Typical welding voltages for 5000 Aluminum are between 21 and 25 volts which limits the wire feed speed of the Mobile-
Feed especially if trying to weld with 035” diameter 5356 alloy. Welding with wire diameters ≤3/64” and/or below 22 arc
volts could cause problems with limited wire feed speed and the inability to achieve a good welding condition.

4.1 MAINTENANCE
Be sure the branch circuit or main disconnect switch is
OFF or electrical input circuit fuses are removed from
the power source main supply before attempting any
inspection or work on the inside of the wire feeder.
Placing the power switch on the welding machine in
the OFF position does not remove all power from inside
of the equipment.
Inspection, troubleshooting, and repair of this equip-
ment should be undertaken by a competent individual
having at least general experience in the maintenance
and repair of semi-conductor electronic equipment.
Maintenance or repair should not be undertaken by
anyone not having such qualications.
As an aid in checking and servicing, refer to the following
pages; Schematic Diagram and/or Wiring Diagram.
4.2 INSPECTION AND SERVICE
Keep equipment in clean and safe operating condition,
free of oil, grease, and (in electrical parts) liquid and metal-
lic particles which can cause short-circuits.
Regularly check cylinder valves, regulators, hoses, and gas
connections for leaks with soap solution.
Check for and tighten loose hardware including electrical
connections. Loose power connections overheat during
welding.
Immediately replace all worn or damaged power cables
and connectors. Check for frayed and cracked insulation,
particularly in areas where conductors enter Equipment.
The electrode wire and all metal parts in contact with it are
electrically energized while welding. Inspect these parts
periodically for defective insulation and other electrical
hazards.
If uninsulated cable and parts are not replaced, an arc
caused by a bared cable or part touching a grounded
surface may damage unprotected eyes or start a re.
Body contact with a bared cable, connector, or uncov-
ered conductor can shock, possibly fatally.
WARNING
WARNING
WARNING
Keep power cables dry, free of oil and grease, and protect-
ed at all times from damage by hot metal and sparks.
Clean dirt and metal particles from drive roll groove
weekly; replace roll if badly worn.
4.2.1 WIRE FEEDER
When soft wire is fed, the drive rolls may pick up metal
from the wire surface. Accumulation on the rolls may score
the wire with resulting unwanted friction and improper
feeding.
Inspect the rolls regularly and clean them with a ne-wire
power brush. Avoid roughening, or removing the hardness
of groove surfaces in grooved rolls. Any roughening may
score the wire, just as the accumulation being removed
may do.
4.2.2 SOLENOID VALVE REPLACEMENT
If there is no gas ow through the wire feeder, the gas
solenoid valve may be clogged or electrically malfunc-
tioning and it should be replaced. When replacing the
gas solenoid valve, the inlet (with the word IN) must face
the rear of the unit.
4.2.3 GENERAL REPLACEMENT
The views in the Parts Section indicate wire drive and
feeder parts.
SECTION 4 MAINTENANCE
34
4.3 TROUBLESHOOTING
If welding equipment does not work properly, inspect as
follows:
A. With all power controls ON and other operating
controls at required settings, visually check all power
cables and connections for evidence of overheating
or sparking.
To avoid shock, do not touch electrode wire or parts in
contact with it, or uninsulated cable or connections.
B. Check all gas hoses and connections, owmeters, and
regulators for possible sources of leakage, breakdown,
or intermittent failure.
C. Isolate trouble to one part of the welding installation:
primary power supply, power source, wire feeder, or
wire guide train (casing, drive rolls, liners, and con-
tact tip). If this inspection indicates trouble in the
wire feeder, refer to the following pages; Schematic
Diagram and/or Wiring Diagram.
Many troubleshooting situations require that the
power remain on and that power terminals in the
equipment carry voltage. Exercise extreme caution
when working on “live” equipment. Avoid contact with
electrical components, except when testing with an
appropriate instrument.
Do not make any repairs to equipment unless you
are fully qualied, as described in the maintenance
section.
