contact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed.

CAUTION
There is no gas flow when the gun
trigger is activated . The wire feeds
and the arc voltage is present.
1. If a spool gun adapter is installed,
make certain the toggle switch in
the spool gun kit in the correct
position.
2. Check to make sure the switch on
the Magnum 100SG Adapter
Panel is in the Magnum Push
Gun Position.
3. Check the gas source and hoses
for kinks or leaks.
1. Check plug J1 on the control board
for loose or faulty connections. See
Wiring Diagram.
2. Check the gas solenoid by discon-
necting it from leads #108A and
#116A&B. Apply a 12VDC external
supply to the solenoid. If the sole-
noid does NOT activate then it may
be faulty. Replace.
The machine stops feeding wire
while welding. When the gun trig-
ger is released and pulled again,
the wire feed starts.
1. Check for a mechanical restriction
in the wire feed path. The gun
may be clogged.
2. Make sure the drive rolls and
guide plates are clean and are the
correct size.
3. Check the spindle for ease of rota-
tion.
1. Check the motor armature current.
Normal armature current is 2.0 to 2.7
amps maximum. If the motor arma-
ture current is normal, and the motor
continues to shut-off, the control
board may be faulty. Replace.
2. If the motor armature current is high
(over 2.7 amps) and there are NO
restrictions in the wire feeding path
then the motor or gearbox may be
defective. Replace.
