LIFT AND LIFT ADJUSTMENTS
Series 4800 & Series 5000 (TR-1600)
1. Load stud and ferrule into gun with proper
plunge setting for welding.
2. Set weld time at approximately ½ second. Turn
“Lift Check” feature ON.
3. Place gun in normal welding position on a
piece of wood or other insulated type surface.
4. Depress trigger button as if to weld.
5. Measure the inward movement of the shaft
extension. This is the actual lift under the
welding condition. Turn “Lift Check” feature
OFF.
Note:
Triggering the gun in the air away from the
work surface will cause the gun to lift. The lift in
open air will be greater than when the gun is in the
actual or simulated weld condition.

Remove rear cap on gun, loosen lock screw and
position the adjustable core as required (See Figure
3).
To Increase Lift

the adjustable core.
To Decrease Lift

adjustable core.
After proper lift is obtained, lock adjustable core in
position by tightening lock screw. Replace rear cap
on gun. Adjust for proper weld time.
