Replace.
2. The procedure board may be
faulty.
1. While the unit is welding check
light 7D on the logic board. It
should be ON when welding cur-
rent is present. If light 7D is ON
the logic board may be faulty.
3. If light 7D is NOT lit when weld
current is present make sure the
weld cables have been properly
routed through the cable clamp
on the left side of the control box.

wiring diagram. If light 7D does
light check the CR4 reed switch
and associated leads and connec-
tions. See wiring diagram.
2. If 7D does NOT light, with the
jumper wire in place, check the
#528 lead and the #500 lead
between the TS1 terminal strip
