CAUTION

There is no gas flow when gun trig-
ger is pulled. Wire feeds and weld
voltage is present.

1. Check gas source and hoses for

leaks or kinks.

2. Check regulator on the tank for

the pressure being set to high.

1. Check for 6.5 VDC when trigger

is pulled at feedhead Board,
Plug J83-3 lead 833 and J83-4
lead 834. See Wiring Diagram.

If you read 12 VDC solenoid may
be open or a bad connection.
Check wiring.

Check the gas solenoid by discon-

necting it from the Feeder Board
(Plug J83-3 & 4) and applying a 12
VDC external supply to the gas
