mig mate 150

[Darryl]

I have recently bought a mig man 150 and I am looking for a product manual for it. There is one promlem as the serial number is unreadable.One reason I am after a manual is the welder is shutting down after a few minutes of welding , so I am trying to find out what might be causing the problem,as it is very annoying when it does this.

is it the duty cycle kicking in?

Darryl,
Does this unit need a separate feeder or is it built into the unit?
We bulit a unit called Migmate 150 back in the early 1980's that used a separate feeder. As soon as we identify this thing I will be able answer any questions you have and also can get you a manual.

Thanks for your reply Rock. The machine I have is a
Mig Man RC150 and not a Mig Mate 150 that I stated in my first message, (my apologies for that) but I have been making so many enquiries about the welder and mig mate was mentioned and it stuck in my head.
Regards Darryl.

Good morning Rock! Yes I do live down under at Yeppoon which is near the Shoalwater Bay Military Training Area, You may know where that is being ex military. The serial number is unreadable on the welder,but I will give You what numbers I can read. Typ RC150. NL353A. Form IP21AF. I hope these may help.Thanks once again Rock. Darryl

Rock the RC150 is the same as the Mig Man. The early versions has the RC-150 on the label but when we started selling more of them we changed the Lable to just the Mig Man. If you still have the 6331 spec then this will give Darrel all he needs.
Thanks

After reading this thread, it's just another testament to the excellent tech support you find with Miller / Hobart products! They really go the extra mile! Good show guys!

Rock After us all thinking on this If my memory is correct I believe the spec is 6310 or 6311 see if this works for a Mig Man If not Then yes I am getting old and the memory is long gone.
