MAINTENANCE
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
Do not operate with covers
removed.
•Turn off power source before
installing or servicing.
Do not touch electrically hot
parts.
Turn the input power to the welding power
source off at the fuse box before working in the
terminal strip.
• Only qualified personnel should install, use or
service this equipment.
WARNING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance consists of periodically blowing
out the machine, using a low pressure airstream, to
remove accumulated dust and dirt from inside the
feeder.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
• Replace the drive rolls and inner wire guide when
they are worn.
• Replace the pig tail if the insulation is cut, abraded or
damaged.
CALIBRATION SPECIFICATION
All calibration is factory set on the LN-15.
To verify the wire feed speed:
• Assemble a .045 (1.2mm) drive roll kit into the LN-
15.
• Load a spool of .045 (1.2mm) electrode and thread
the electrode through the wire drive.
Adjust the wire feed speed to 300 in/min
(7.62m/min).
Press the COLD FEED switch and measure the
actual wire feed speed with a calibrated wire feed
speed tachometer.
• The measured wire feed speed should be within 2%
of the set value.
To verify the voltage display:
• Set the welding power source and LN-15 to a CV
procedure that gives steady "spray" transfer in the
arc.
• While a weld is being made, measure the voltage
from the feed plate to work.
• The displayed voltage on the LN-15 should be with-
in 2% of the measured value.
