MAINTENANCE

1)

  To prolong the weld tip life and improve the weld 

quality, it is imperative that the weld tips always 

be kept clean. For best results, use a solvent to 

remove the adhesive from tips; a wire brush to 

remove any galvanizing deposits; and a fine emory 

cloth to smooth the tip surfaces.

2)

  When lower weld tip becomes worn in one area, 

loosen the locking cap screw and rotate the point 

of wear away from the point of contact. If this 

cannot be done because the lower weld tip is too 

badly pitted, replace lower weld plate. Additional 

lower weld plates can be ordered from your local 

distributor.

3)

  Depending on usage and maintenance, the up-

per welding tip plate will have to be periodically 

replaced. The replacement weld tip plates can be 

ordered from your local distributor. To replace the 

upper weld tip, loosen the locking cap screw and  

remove the weld tip. Remove the plate by loosening 

three (3) brass screws. Throw away the screws 

and attach the new plate to the tip using three 

brass screws supplied. Be sure to align the angled 

section of the plate so it faces the feed mechanism. 

Then lock the tip in place. Cycle the machine to check 

the feeding.

4)

  If feeding is erratic, re-adjust the upper weld tip 

height by loosening the lock nut and then turning 

the dwell cylinder shaft clockwise to raise the tip; 

counter-clockwise to lower the tip.  Lock the tip in 

position with the locking nut.
