1.b. Operate engines in open, well-ventilated
areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes
outdoors.

1.c. Do not add the fuel near an open flame weld­ing arc or when the engine is running. Stop
the engine and allow it to cool before refuel­ing to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on
contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do
not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled,
wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes
have been eliminated.

Always use the greatest care when

parts.

1.h. To avoid scalding, do not remove the
radiator pressure cap when the engine is
hot.

ELECTRIC AND
MAGNETIC FIELDS
may be dangerous

2.a. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding
current creates EMF fields around welding cables and
welding machines

2.b. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and
welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician
before welding.

2.c. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health
effects which are now not known.

2.d. All welders should use the following procedures in order to
minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:

2.d.1.

Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure
them with tape when possible.

___________________________________________________

1.f. Do not put your hands near the engine fan.
Do not attempt to override the governor or
idler by pushing on the throttle control rods
while the engine is running.

___________________________________________________

1.g. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turn­ing the engine or welding generator during maintenance
work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or
magneto wire as appropriate.

2.d.2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.

2.d.3. Do not place your body between the electrode and
work cables. If the electrode cable is on your right
side, the work cable should also be on your right side.

2.d.4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded.

2.d.5. Do not work next to welding power source.

SAFETY

ii

ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits
are electrically “hot” when the welder is on.
Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare
skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free
gloves to insulate hands.

3.b. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation.
Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full
area of physical contact with work and ground.

In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding
must be performed under electrically hazardous
conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or
scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or
accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use
the following equipment:

• Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.

• DC Manual (Stick) Welder.

• AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.

3.c. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode,
electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic
welding gun are also electrically “hot”.

3.d. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical
connection with the metal being welded. The connection
should be as close as possible to the area being welded.

3.e. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical
(earth) ground.

3.f.

Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and
welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace
damaged insulation.

3.g. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.

3.h. Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of
electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage
between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.

3.i. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect
yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

3.j. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

ARC RAYS can burn.

4.a. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover
plates to protect your eyes from sparks and
the rays of the arc when welding or observing
open arc welding. Headshield and filter lens
should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.

4.b. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant
material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from
the arc rays.

4.c. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable
screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose
themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

FUMES AND GASES
can be dangerous.

5.a. Welding may produce fumes and gases
hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep
your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep

fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When

welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing (see
instructions on container or MSDS) or on lead or
cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings
which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as
low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and
ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ven­tilation. In confined spaces or in some circumstances,
outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional pre­cautions are also required when welding on galvanized
steel.

5. b. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affect­ed by various factors including proper use and positioning
of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the
specific welding procedure and application involved.
Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation
and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applica­ble OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.

5.c.

Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon
coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors
to

form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating

products.

vapors

5.d. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and

cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation,
especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

5.e. Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this

equipment and the consumables to be used, including the
material safety data sheet (MSDS) and follow your
employer’s safety practices. MSDS forms are available from
your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.

5.f. Also see item 1.b.

WELDING and CUTTING
SPARKS can
cause fire or explosion.

6.a.

Remove fire hazards from the welding area.
If this is not possible, cover them to prevent

Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from weld­ing can easily go through small cracks and openings to adja­cent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire
extinguisher readily available.

6.b. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site,
special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous
situations. Refer to “Safety in Welding and Cutting” (ANSI
Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the
equipment being used.

6.c. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode
circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact
can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.

6.d. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the
proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures
will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances
inside. They can cause an explosion even
been “cleaned”. For information, purchase “Recommended
Safe Practices for the
Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous
Substances”, AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society

(see address above).

6.e. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or
welding. They may explode.

Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil

6.f.
free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt,
cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear
ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a
welding area.

6.g. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding
area as practical. Work cables connected to the building
framework or other locations away from the welding area
increase the possibility of the welding current passing
through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate cir­cuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains
or cables until they fail.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ

Pour votre propre protection lire et observer toutes les instruc­tions et les précautions de sûreté specifiques qui parraissent
dans ce manuel aussi bien que les précautions de sûreté
générales suivantes:

Sûreté Pour Soudage A L’Arc

1. Protegez-vous contre la secousse électrique:

a. Les circuits à l’électrode et à la piéce sont sous tension

quand la machine à souder est en marche. Eviter toujours
tout contact entre les parties sous tension et la peau nue
ou les vétements mouillés. Porter des gants secs et sans
trous pour isoler les mains.

b. Faire trés attention de bien s’isoler de la masse quand on

soude dans des endroits humides, ou sur un plancher
metallique ou des grilles metalliques, principalement dans

les positions assis ou couché pour lesquelles une
grande partie du corps peut être en contact avec la
masse.

c. Maintenir le porte-électrode, la pince de masse, le câble

de soudage et la machine à souder en bon et sûr état
defonctionnement.

d.Ne jamais plonger le porte-électrode dans l’eau pour le

refroidir.

e. Ne jamais toucher simultanément les parties sous tension

des porte-électrodes connectés à deux machines à soud­er parce que la tension entre les deux pinces peut être le
total de la tension à vide des deux machines.

f. Si on utilise la machine à souder comme une source de

courant pour soudage semi-automatique, ces precautions
pour le porte-électrode s’applicuent aussi au pistolet de
soudage.

5. Toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité dans la zone de
soudage. Utiliser des lunettes avec écrans lateraux dans les
zones où l’on pique le laitier.

6. Eloigner les matériaux inflammables ou les recouvrir afin de
prévenir tout risque d’incendie dû aux étincelles.

7. Quand on ne soude pas, poser la pince à une endroit isolé
de la masse. Un court-circuit accidental peut provoquer un
échauffement et un risque d’incendie.

8. S’assurer que la masse est connectée le plus prés possible
de la zone de travail qu’il est pratique de le faire. Si on place
la masse sur la charpente de la construction ou d’autres
endroits éloignés de la zone de travail, on augmente le risque
de voir passer le courant de soudage par les chaines de lev­age, câbles de grue, ou autres circuits. Cela peut provoquer
des risques d’incendie ou d’echauffement des chaines et des
câbles jusqu’à ce qu’ils se rompent.

9. Assurer une ventilation suffisante dans la zone de soudage.
Ceci est particuliérement important pour le soudage de tôles
galvanisées plombées, ou cadmiées ou tout autre métal qui
produit des fumeés toxiques.

10. Ne pas souder en présence de vapeurs de chlore provenant
d’opérations de dégraissage, nettoyage ou pistolage. La
chaleur ou les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir avec les
vapeurs du solvant pour produire du phosgéne (gas forte­ment toxique) ou autres produits irritants.

11. Pour obtenir de plus amples renseignements sur la sûreté,
voir le code “Code for safety in welding and cutting” CSA
Standard W 117.2-1974.

2. Dans le cas de travail au dessus du niveau du sol, se pro­téger contre les chutes dans le cas ou on recoit un choc. Ne
jamais enrouler le câble-électrode autour de n’importe quelle
partie du corps.

3. Un coup d’arc peut être plus sévère qu’un coup de soliel,
donc:

a. Utiliser un bon masque avec un verre filtrant approprié

ainsi qu’un verre blanc afin de se protéger les yeux du
rayonnement de l’arc et des projections quand on soude
ou quand on regarde l’arc.

b. Porter des vêtements convenables afin de protéger la

peau de soudeur et des aides contre le rayonnement de
l‘arc.

c. Protéger l’autre personnel travaillant à proximité au

soudage à l’aide d’écrans appropriés et non-inflamma­bles.

4. Des gouttes de laitier en fusion sont émises de l’arc de
soudage. Se protéger avec des vêtements de protection
libres de l’huile, tels que les gants en cuir, chemise épaisse,
pantalons sans revers, et chaussures montantes.

PRÉCAUTIONS DE SÛRETÉ POUR
LES MACHINES À SOUDER À
TRANSFORMATEUR ET À
REDRESSEUR

1. Relier à la terre le chassis du poste conformement au code
de l’électricité et aux recommendations du fabricant. Le dis­positif de montage ou la piece à souder doit être branché à
une bonne mise à la terre.

2. Autant que possible, I’installation et l’entretien du poste
seront effectués par un électricien qualifié.

3. Avant de faires des travaux à l’interieur de poste, la
debrancher à l’interrupteur à la boite de fusibles.

4. Garder tous les couvercles et dispositifs de sûreté à leur
place.

GENERAL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

The CRUISER™ is a self propelled, modular platform
for performing submerged arc welds. A unique tube
and clamp design provides flexibility to mount the feed­ing components in any position.

Wire is fed to the arc with the proven wire drive. All of
the drive rolls, nozzles, contact tips and wire straight­eners are common between the MaxSA wire drives
and the CRUISER™ wire drive. The wire drive rotates
about two axes for setting torch drag/pull angle and
torch tilt angle.

The wire drive is mounted to two heavy duty X-Y
slides. The cross slides allow easy adjustment of the
electrode stick-out and position of the wire in the joint.

The entire mast and arm structure separates from the
base for portability and mobility purposes.

Driving the tractor is a permanent magnet DC motor
with a 5 stage gear box built with all metal gears. A
high resolution encoder keeps the tractor speed con­sistent even at slow speeds. The wheels are made of
a high temperature rubber specially bonded to an alu­minum core. Also mounted on the axle are guide
wheels and a gear for operating on K396 track sec­tions.

The tractor may be configured for 3 or 4 wheel opera­tion. The flexible wheel configuration allows the tractor
to be assembled in a manner for optimum balance
while aligning the wheels for the tracking of the joint.

All of the controls are housed in a light weight pendant
that connects to the tractor via an ArcLink cable. The
pendant housing is fabricated from aluminum to resist
impacts and high temperatures.

OUTRIGGERS

The outriggers “steer” the CRUISER™ along a vertical

surface by driving it at a slight angle. Suggested offset
between the front and rear outriggers is ½” (12.7mm).

Larger offsets increase the friction driving the CRUIS-
ER™ forward and may cause travel motor overcurrent

errors and rapid wheel wear.

When assembling the CRUISER™, adjust the cross

slide to the middle position and position the wire in the
joint. Then assemble the front and rear outriggers, and
make fine adjustments to the wire position using the
cross slide.

WIRE STRAIGHTENER ADJUSTMENT

The wire straightener controls the amount of cast (or
“curve”) in the wire. Excessive cast may effect align­ment of the wire in the joint. Too little cast may result
in insufficient wire contact in the contact tip.

To adjust the wire straightener:

1. Turn off power at the welding power source.

2. Loosen the two screws holding the wire straighten­er to the feed plate with a ¼” hex key.

FIGURE A.13 - WIRE STRAIGHTENER SCREWS

FEEDPLATE ROTATION

The feedplate of the wire drive may be rotated about
the drive roll axis. Depending upon how the tractor is
assembled, rotating the feed plate will change the tilt
angle or the drag angle.

1. Turn off power at the welding power supply.

2. Loosen the set screw on the feedplate with a 5/16”
hex key.

3. Rotate the feedplate to the new position. Do not
allow surfaces at electrode potential to touch the
frame, flux hopper, base or slides of the tractor.

4. Tighten the set screw to secure the feedplate.

5. As equipped from the factory, the tractor is set-up
with “A” as the inlet and “B” as the outlet. To make
“B” the inlet and “A” the outlet, see the SET-UP
MENU.

FIGURE A.15 - FEEDPLATE ROTATION

3. Position the straightener as desired to remove or
add cast to the wire.

4. Tighten the screws holding the wire straightener to
the feed plate.

5. Turn power on at the welding power source.

6. Feed wire through the straightener. Adjust the
amount of pressure on the wire with the straighten­er until the desired cast is achieved when the wire
exits the tip.

NOTE: A slight curvature to the wire helps to maintain

good electrical contact inside the contact tip.

CABLES

ArcLink Control Cables

ArcLink Control Cables are available in two forms:

• K1543-xx series for most indoor or factory installa­tions.

• K2683-xx series for outdoor use or when the equip­ment is frequently moved.

ArcLink/LincNet control cables are special high quality
cables for digital communication. The cables are cop­per 5 conductor cable in a SO-type rubber jacket.
There is one 20 gauge twisted pair for network com­munications. This pair has an impedance of approxi­mately 120 ohms and a propagation delay per foot of
less than 2.1 nanoseconds. There are two 12 gauge
conductors that are used to supply 40VDC to the net­work. The fifth wire is 18 gauge and is used as an elec­trode sense lead.

Use of non-standard cables may lead to system shut­downs, poor arc starting and wire feeding problems.

The control cables connect the power source to the
wire feeder, and the wire feeder to other wire feeders.

FIGURE A.18 - WIRE DRIVE MOUNTING

Control cables may be connected end to end to extend
their length. Use a maximum of 200 feet (61 m) of con­trol cable between components.

the user interface.

FIGURE B.13 - WELD SEQUENCE

START OPTIONS

The delay, strike, start and upslope parameters are
used at the beginning of the weld sequence to estab­lish a stable arc and provide a smooth transition to the
welding parameters. They are described in the follow­ing:

• ARC DELAY inhibits the wire feed for up to 5 sec-

onds to provide an accurate weld start point.
Typically used in multi-arc systems.

• STRIKE settings are valid from the beginning of the

sequence (Start) until the arc is established. They
control run-in (speed at which the wire approaches
the workpiece) and provide the power to establish
the arc. Typically output levels are increased, and
WFS is reduced during the strike portion of the weld
sequence.

• START values allow the arc to become stabilized

once it is established. Extended start times or
improperly set parameters can result in poor starting.

• UPSLOPE TIME determines the amount of time it

takes to ramp from the start parameters to the weld
parameters. The transition is linear and may be up or
down depending on the relationship between the
start and weld settings.

• RESTRIKE TIME determines how long the system

will try to re-establish the arc in the event of a poor
start or if the arc goes out for any reason (short cir­cuit or open circuit). During restrike, the WFS and
outputs are driven in an attempt to re-establish the
arc.

• A restrike time of 1 to 2 seconds is sufficient
in most applications.

• A restrike time of 0 seconds allows the
restrike function to continue indefinitely.

END OPTIONS

The downslope, crater, and burnback parameters are
used to define the end of the weld sequence. They are
defined in the following:

• DOWNSLOPE determines the amount of time it

takes to ramp from the weld parameters to the crater
parameters. The transition is linear and may be up or
down depending on the relationship between the
weld and crater settings.

• CRATER parameters are typically used to fill the

crater at the end of the weld and include both time
and output settings.

• BURNBACK defines the amount of time the output

remains on after the wire has stopped. This feature
is used to prevent the wire from sticking in the weld
puddle and to condition the end of the wire for the
next weld. A burnback time of 0.4 second is sufficient
in most applications.

Use the Mode Select Panel Control to select the
desired delay time. Press the Weld Mode Selector to
exit the End parameters. Repeated pressing of the Arc
Start/End Options pushbutton will toggle through the
parameters. Turning the Mode Select Panel Control
while on a parameter will change its value. When the
Crater Time is set to a value other than OFF, the END
OPTIONS LED will blink synchronous with the WFS or
