HIGH FREQUENCY WARNINGS

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS ARE REQUIRED WHEN USING PLASMA,

TIG OR ANY WELDING PROCESS THAT USES HIGH FREQUENCY

TO STRIKE AN ARC.

WARNING: HIGH FREQUENCY CAN EFFECT MACHINE

OPERATION AND THEREFORE, WELD QUALITY.

Read the precautions below before installing and using the equipment.

PRECAUTIONS:

1) Some plasma or welding cables are strong sources of high frequency interference.

NEVER lay a plasma or welding cable across the controls of the machine.

2) Always physically separate the plasma or welding cable leads from the machine
cables. For example, the plasma or welding cable leads should NEVER be bundled
with a pendant cable or the machine power cord. Maximize the separation between
any machine cables and the plasma or welding cables.

3) Strictly follow the grounding procedures specied for the plasma or welding unit.
NOTE: Some plasma and welding units produce exceptionally large amounts of high
frequency noise. They may require a grounding rod be driven into the earth within six
feet (2 meters) of the plasma or welding unit to become compatible with an automatic
cutting or welding process.

4) If the high frequency is produced using a spark gap, adjust the points so the gap is
as small as possible. The larger the gap, the higher the voltage and the higher the
interference.

5) Some plasma or welding units will inject high frequency interference into the AC
power line. Use separate power line branches whenever possible to power the
plasma or welding source and the machine. Do not plug them into the same outlet
box.

6) High frequency noise may enter the machine through the plasma or welding supply
remote contactor leads. Some plasma and welding sources can produce noise
spikes of up to several thousand volts. These sources are not compatible with
automated cutting and welding equipment. It is recommended that the remote
contactor leads on these plasma or welding sources not be connected to the
machine. An alternate solution is to purchase a separate remote contactor
isolation box.

INTRODUCTION

The GO-FER III is a versatile tractor for use in cutting or welding applications. There are three models/
kits to choose from, each designated for the intended application; “OX” for Oxy-Fuel cutting, “PL” for
Plasma cutting and “WD” for Welding applications. All models are all position machines, with positive
rack and pinion drive. They feature a wide range solid state speed control.

The GO-FER III Welding Kit is an economical straight-line welding travel carriage. The all position ts-all
clamp will accept and accommodate any hand held welding gun and allow the operator to position the
torch at any angle they desire. The racking group allows for in process torch adjustment of the vertical
and horizontal plane. A built in torch trigger contactor allows the operator to activate the wire feeder from
a switch on the top of the unit.

The GO-FER III Plasma Kit is specically designed to work in conjunction with a plasma cutting system.
Its travel speed of 8-100 inches per minute (203-2540 mm/min) and its direct rack and pinion drive make it
ideal as an all position portable cutting machine for a plasma torch. The torch holder will accept any standard
1-3/8" (35 mm) diameter machine torch that has a 32 pitch gear rack. A built in trigger contactor for initiating
the cut makes the GO-FER a convenient self contained package.

The GO-FER III Oxy-Fuel Kit is used for straight line cuts and weld preparation beveling. The kit comes
complete with the exception of a torch. The Bug-O torch holder will accept any standard 1-3/8" (35 mm)
diameter machine torch with a 32 pitch gear rack. The quick-action gas manifold mounted to the rear of the
machine is used as a strain reliever for the torch and also gives the operator the ability to turn on and off
the gases without having to readjust the gas ow of the torch.

FEATURES

The GO-FER III is a lightweight machine that makes straight line cuts or welds. The consistent quality
produced is capable in all positions with portable drive and track.

GO-FER III features:

• Innitely variable speed control,

-OX and -PL unit speed range: 8 – 100 ipm (203 - 2540 mm/min)

-WD unit speed range: 2 – 50 ipm (50 - 1270 mm/min)

• Positive Clutch enables quick positioning on the rail

• Circuit Breaker

• Power Indicator Light

• Forward – Off – Reverse Switch

• Carrying Handle

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS / SETUP

TRACK SETUP

Attach two ARM-2010 “ON-OFF” Magnet Plate Assemblies (M) one quarter of the length from each
end of the track. The magnets hold the rail to a steel workpiece and give all position capability. Mount
the ARM-2015 Spacer Bar Assemblies (N) between the Magnet Plate Assemblies (M) to provide
additional rail support. Verify the workpiece is clean and free of contaminants such as rust and oil to
insure maximum magnet holding power. The ARR-1080 and ARR-1085 Rails (L) are supplied with a
positive rail joining system that enables the user to construct a rail system of any length.

POSITIONING AND ADJUSTING THE MACHINE ON THE TRACK

Disengage the clutch by centering the clutch Knob (A) over the hole in the cover and pulling the knob
out. This disengages the drive pinion. Slide the carriage wheels into the track V-grooves from the end of
the track. The carriage will move smoothly along the track if the wheels are properly aligned.
The GO-FER III wheels are factory adjusted to t ARR-1080 rails. Wheel adjustment should be veried
on older machines. Grasp the carriage sides. The wheels are too loose if the carriage can be moved from
side to side. Use a nger to keep one of the wheels from rotating while manually pushing the carriage
along the track. The wheels are adjusted too tight if rm nger pressure is not
enough to prevent wheel rotation.

WHEEL ADJUSTMENT
The wheels along one side of the carriage have Stainless Shim Washers
(C) underneath. These wheels (E) are adjustable. Readjust these wheels (if

necessary) by rotating the Hex Bolt (B) with a 1/2" (13 mm) wrench.
Gently push the clutch Knob (A) back into the case while gently rocking the
machine forward and backward. This will engage the drive pinion. The rocking
motion is necessary to insure proper gear mesh.

GO-FER III-WD / SETUP (Welding)

TORCH SET-UP

Insert the Racking Group (P) into the torch
holder on the rack. Attach the rod, the clamp
and the gun to the end of the vertical tube
rack. Clamp welding gun into gun clamp.
Adjust the racking system to set the gun to
the desired position. Support the gun cable
in the Cable Anchor (J) provided. The
cable anchor acts as a strain relief to keep
the supply cable from dragging the gun out
of position. Connect the contactor circuit
by crimping the two female connectors
(supplied) to a 22-18 gauge, two-conductor
cable from the trigger circuit of the feeder
and plug them into the two leads on the plug
of the Contactor Control Box (K).

MACHINE OPERATION

Set Switch (D) to the center “STOP”
position. Plug in the power cord. Verify the
Pilot Light (F) comes on. Set Switch (D)
to the forward or reverse position to begin
forward or reverse travel. Adjust the travel
speed using the Speed Control (G).
The Circuit Breaker (H) protects the
unit against overload or electrical faults.

CAUTION: IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
OPENS, FIND AND CORRECT THE
CAUSE BEFORE RESETTING.

Assembly (J) to the Quick Action Manifold
(K) and to the cutting torch. The manifold

acts as a strain relief for the supply hoses as
well as a quick shut off valve for the gases.
Once the torch valves are adjusted, the
manifold eliminates the need to readjust the
valves after each cut and keeps the supply
lines from dragging the torch out of position.
