1-1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SAFETY
A. General
Information presented in this manual and on various labels, tags, and plates on the unit pertains to equipment
design, installation, operation, maintenance, and
troubleshooting which should be read, understood, and
followed for the safe and ef fective use of this equipment.
SA-052 831-A
LOADING SAFETY CHECK:
1. Estimate combined weight of all accessories and
distance of center of mass from carrier face plate.
2. Check values against chart. Loading condition
must fall within safe operation zone curve.
3. Adjust weight/distance if necessary.
B. Safety
The installation, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of arc welding equipment requires practices
and procedures which ensure personal safety and the
safety of others. Therefore, this equipment is to be installed, operated, and maintained only by qualified
persons in accordance with this manual and all applicable codes such as, but not limited to, those listed at the
end of Section 1 – Safety Rules For Operation Of Arc

Welding Power Source in the welding power source

practices which must be followed to avoid minor
personal injury or damage to this equipment.
IMPORTANT statements identify special instructions
necessary for the most efficient operation of this equipment.
1-3. DESCRIPTION
The cross slide design provides horizontal or vertical
movement of welding equipment. Two cross slides may
be installed to provide X-Y (both horizontal and vertical)
movement of welding equipment.
Cross slide mounted equipment must be within the limits of the loading curve shown in Chart 1-1.
WARNING:ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Shut down wire feeder system and
welding power source, and disconnect
input power employing lockout/tagging
procedures before inspecting, installing,
or servicing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of padlocking line disconnect switch in open position, removing fuses from fuse box, or shutting of f and red-tagging circuit breaker or other disconnecting device.
2-1. INSTALLATION (Figure 3-1)
WARNING:Read and follow safety information at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
CAUTION: WELD SPATTER, DIRT, AND
DUST can affect cross slide operation.
• Mount cross slide where it will be least
subjected to weld spatter, dirt, and dust.
IMPORTANT : The 4-1/4 in. (108 mm) square mounting
hole pattern in the cross slide bottom pan and carrier
plate permits mounting one cross slide on top of another
to provide X-Y movement
mounting holes in bottom pan. Install supplied
3/8-16 x 1-1/4 cap screws and lock washers.
3. Install welding equipment on carrier plate using
customer supplied 3/8-16 cap screws. Mounting
screws should not interfere with carrier travel.
2-2. SHAFT TENSION ADJUSTMENT (Figure 3-1)
WARNING:Read and follow safety information at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
The cross slide has been factory set to require 12 in.-lb.
(82.7 kPa) torque to turn the crank handle and should
not require further adjustment. If the cross slide components work loose and the handle turns too freely,
readjust as follows:
1. Remove all equipment mounted to the carrier
plate.
2. Loosen cone point set screw. Tighten screw drive
nut on the drive screw until sufficient drag is felt
while turning crank handle.
3. Tighten set screw on the screw drive nut.
4. Install equipment removed in Step 1.
2-3. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION (Figure 3-1)
1. Turn crank handle to move carrier plate and expose two mounting holes in bottom pan. Install
supplied 3/8-16 x 1-1/4 cap screws and lock
washers.
2. Turn crank handle to move carrier plate in opposite direction and expose two remaining
OM-1100 Page 2
WARNING:Read and follow safety information at beginning of entire Section 2
before proceeding.
Every six months clean and apply a light lubricant, such
as SAE 20 oil, to the drive screw and the slide bars (see
Figure 3-1, items 4, 10 and 11).
