Warrior Feed 304 ™

Simple functionality, multi-process wire feeder

The Warrior Feed 304 is an economical wire feeder

that brings you the same benefits as its partner
Warrior 400i MV and 500i power supplies; simple
functionality, rugged durability, and outstanding
performance.
Sturdy design with galvanized metal casing for use in
tough environments. Electronically controlled feeding
gives accurate and stable arc. The 4-roll feeder
mechanism with grooves in both feed roll and pressure
roll gives stable feeding and low wear on the wire, all to
avoid operational disturbance.

„„ New drive motor offers more torque for improved

arc starts, more consistent speed and less noise
„„ Redesigned 4 roll drive stand mechanism with
improved feed rolls, provides positive feeding
performance and reduced wire shavings
„„ Sun-friendly display, volt and amp meter
„„ Easy-to-use controls (remote voltage, gas purge,
inch wire, WFS) trigger lock, and slow run-in make
configuration easy
„„ Short Circuit Termination (SCT) technology sharpens
the wire at the end of each weld to promote better
arc starts
„„ Spool cover and lifting handle standard

Warrior Feed Functions

With 2-stroke, the gas pre-flow (if used) starts when the welding torch trigger switch is pressed. The welding
2-Stroke
process then starts. Releasing the trigger switch stops welding entirely and starts gas post-flow (if selected).
With 4-stroke, the gas pre-flow starts when the welding trigger torch switch is depressed and the wire feed starts
4-Stroke when it is released. The welding process continues until the switch is pressed in again, the wire feed then stops
and when the switch is released, the gas post-flow starts (if selected).
Wire Selection A constant burnback time is selected when the trigger is released, to adjust to welding with cored wire. This
Cored Wire prevents the wire from sticking to the work or burning back to contact tip.
Short Circuit Termination (SCT) function is a new way to end/terminate the weld. SCT uses a small short circuit
Wire Selection
to reduce the size of the end of the wire. This helps with crater oxidation. It also gives the advantage of preparing
Solid Wire
the wire for a good start without clipping the end of the wire.

Creep Start Creep start feeds out the wire at slower WFS than the preset WFS until it makes electrical contact with the work-
Slow Run-In piece. This provides better starts.

Wire inching is used when feeding wire without applying a welding voltage. This feature is used to replace pulling
Wire Inching
the torch trigger, which wastes gas and energy.

Gas purging is used when measuring the gas flow or to flush any air or moisture from the gas hoses before weld-
Gas Purging ing starts. Gas purging takes place for as long as the button is held depressed and takes place without voltage
or wire feed starting.

Wire Feed
This sets the required feed speed of the filter wire in inch/minute or m/minute.
