D. ADDING THE WEIGHT KIT, AND CHECKING THE NOZZLE. If recommended by the membrane manufacturer, add the 20 pound weight kit. Most membrane manufacturers require the weights for welding. The amount of weight is a function of the type of membrane, the type of insulation material and its thickness. Weight Kit:To add the weight kit, simply slide the two weights over the preinstalled pins on the platform over the pressure wheel. A third 10 pound weight (Part# 8622) may be added if required.

SEAM STARTUP, WINDOW OF WELD. With the unit up to set temperature put the gear lever into "DRIVE", position the nozzle tip into the membrane seam and immediately turn the drive motor switch to "START". The operator must assist the welder, guiding it down the length of the seam. Since the operator is walking BACKWARDS on the roof, CAUTION MUST BE TAKEN AT ALL TIMES for his own safety. Fig. #5 Fig. #6 WINDOW OF WELD The Winston Group does not warrant seam performance.

SHUTTING DOWN THE WELDER. (10 MINUTES COOL DOWN) First, remove the nozzle tip while the welder is still in motion by positioning the nozzle tip in an "UP" position, pointing into the air. Switch the Drive Motor to "STOP" and put the drive gear lever to "FREE WHEEL". DO NOT TURN THE TOOL SWITCH OFF UNLESS YOU HAVE ALLOWED THE GUN TO "COOL" DOWN. Failure to cool the gun prior to turning the power off may cause damage to the unit's heating element and/or internal components.

D. BLOWER MOTOR BRUSH REPLACEMENT E. REPLACEMENT OF SCREEN. Factory installed blower motor has about 1400 hours of brush life. To prevent potential stall problems during welding operation brushes should be replaced after 1000 hours of operation. Air screen should be cleaned as needed to maintain proper air flow to prevent over heating and loss of welding performance. After several cleanings you may need to replace the screen.
