COURSE OF ACTION
ENGINE PROBLEMS
Engine will not idle down to low
speed. Machine has normal weld
output and auxiliary power.
1. Make sure the Idler switch (S5)
is in the “Auto” position.
2. Make sure there is NOT an
external load on the weld termi-
nals nor the auxiliary power
receptacles.
3. Check circuit breaker CB1.
Reset breaker if “tripped.”
1. With the Idler switch (S5) in the
“AUTO” position and the engine
running, check for the presence
of 12VDC at leads #222F to
#214, located at the Idler sole-
noid. If 12VDC is present and
the idler solenoid is not activat-
ing, then the solenoid may be
faulty or there is a mechanical
restriction preventing it from
functioning.
2. If there is NOT 12VDC at leads
#222F to #214, check the CB1
circuit breaker. Also check for
12VDC from lead #222F to lead
#5 (ground). If 12VDC is pre-
sent, then check lead #214 for
continuity (zero Ohms) from the
idler solenoid to the printed cir-
cuit board plug 5J1. Also check
the Idler switch (S5) and associ-
ated leads. See Wiring
Diagram. If the above are OK,
then the control board may be
faulty. Replace.
