FUNCTION PROBLEMS
The 1/8 amp fuse on the voltage
PC board repeatedly fails.
1. Check to make sure the PC
boards are NOT grounded to
the case of the LN-9 GMA.
This can happen due to metal-
lic wire shavings build-up.
1. Remove input power to the LN-
9 GMA. Replace the 1/8 amp
fuse and switch the LN-9 GMA
polarity switch to the "NEG"
position.
Make a resistance check from
the following leads to the LN-9
GMA case grounding screw:
Leads # 500, 510, 525, 522,
526, 530, and 628.
The resistances should be
above 1000 ohms. If any test
is below 1000 ohms, that circuit
has low resistance to case
ground. Isolate the faulty leads
or PC board. See the Wiring
Diagram and Schematic.
CAUTION
If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the test/repairs safely, con-
tact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for electrical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call
216-383-2531 or 1-800-833-9353.
