1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Application

The ARC Runner is a welding carriage designed to make butt and fillet welds that are

continuous or stitch. The carriage allows MIG/MAG torches and is clamped with

permanent magnets.

Accessories allow welding with oscillation, using torches with a larger diameter

and using two torches at the same time. They also allow the carriage to move along

outside edges, lap joints and templates, walls that are low or have holes, and on

ceilings, pipes, and tanks.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Before use, read this Operator’s Manual and complete a training in occupational

safety and health.

2. Use only in applications specified in this Operator’s Manual.

3. Make sure that the carriage has all parts and they are genuine and not damaged.

4. Make sure that the specifications of the power source are the same as those

specified on the rating plate.

5. Connect the carriage to a correctly grounded power source.

6. Do not carry the carriage by the cords or arc ignition cable, and do not pull them.

This can cause damage and electric shock.

7. Keep untrained bystanders away from the carriage.

8. Before each use, ensure the correct condition of the carriage, power source,

cords, arc ignition cable, plugs, sockets, control panel, and wheels.

9. Before each use, make sure that no part is cracked or loose. Make sure to main-

tain correct conditions that can have an effect on the operation of the carriage.

10. Keep the carriage dry. Do not expose the carriage to rain, snow, or frost.

11. Keep the worksite well lit, clean, and free of obstacles.

12. Do not use near flammable materials, or in explosive environments.

13. Make sure that the rubber of the wheels is clean and not damaged.

14. Do not remove the cover of the wheels.

15. Remove objects attracted to the chassis by the magnet.

16. Transport and position the carriage by using the carrying handle and only after

you set the magnet lever to ‘O’.

17. Put the carriage so that four wheels are on the surface. Make sure that no con-

tact is between the surface and chassis.

18. Do not stay below the carriage that is put at heights.

19. Connect the cords and arc ignition cable only after you set the power switch to

‘O’.

20. Keep the sockets clean. Do not use high pressure during cleaning.

21. Install only MIG/MAG torches whose diameter matches the diameter of the torch

holder.

22. Do not put the torch more than 80 mm (3.15″) outward from the left or right side

of the carriage.

ARC Runner Operator’s Manual

23. Keep the torch cables away from the surface. Hang the cables to decrease the

load applied on the carriage. Use only cables whose weight is not more than 12

kg (27 lbs) for horizontal work and 8 kg (18 lbs) for vertical work.

24. Do not work on curves with convex or concave radius less than 1500 mm (5 ft).

25. At heights, use a fall arrester not to let the carriage fall.

26. Use eye protection (helmet, shield, and screen), ear protection, gloves, and

protective clothing. Do not use loose clothing.

27. Do not stop the carriage by hand. To stop, set the travel direction switch to ‘O’.

28. Do the maintenance only after you unplug the carriage from the power source.

29. Repair only in a service center appointed by the seller.

30. If the carriage falls, is wet, or has any damage, stop the work and promptly send

the carriage to the service center for check and repair.

31. Do not leave the carriage unattended during work.

32. If you are not going to use the carriage, remove it from the worksite and keep in a

safe and dry place.

3. STARTUP AND OPERATION

3.1. Preparing

Use the carrying handle to transport the carriage to the worksite. Then, set to ‘O’ all

switches (power, travel direction, and arc ignition switch) and the magnet lever.

Fig. 1. View from the back side

Use the power cord to connect the carriage to the power source. Then, put the

torch into the torch holder and tighten with the knob. Put the torch cables into the

cable anchor and tighten with the knobs.

3.2. Connecting to the welding circuits

The carriage can control two torches by using the arc ignition cable plugged into the

arc ignition socket. To do this, refer to the diagram from Fig. 2 and connect one blue-

jacketed wire to one terminal of the welding circuit. Then, connect the other blue-

jacketed wire to the other terminal of the same circuit. To control the second torch,

connect the green-jacketed wires to the terminals of the second welding circuit.

Fig. 1. Connecting the arc ignition cable to welding circuits

Make sure that the arc ignition cable is connected correctly. To do this, turn on the

power of the carriage, and then set the arc ignition switch to TEST. This should

enable the arc for a while.
