Hey Andy, or anyone who might have a clue of what's going on:
This has happened to me several times...I get all set up to do som semi-heave aluminum welding (200-230 amps) and the machine gives me a thermal overload help message. One time it was sitting in the sun for a couple hours without running and it did it from start-up...needless to say, I didn't get any welding done that day...BUT...I drove back to my shop at 70mph and I thought that the wind cooled it down because when I plugged it it, it fired right up. Now here's the kicker...it happened to me again, this time it sprinkled on the way to the sight-not enough to even get anything wet, though. I woce again plugged it in and the error message pops up after the system self-diagnostic. PLEASE HELP!!! I am in the middle of an important job that I cant have the local welding shop send it away for the week...and they dont pick up untill tuesday. (BTW, I came back to the shop and plugged it in the next morning...and guess what, the **** thing worked. Also the thing was purchaced less then four months ago) Thanks in advance. Andrew
