I attempted to turn the elbow but it wasn’t budging. I wasn’t going to force it because if I broke the plastic piece it goes into, then I would void the warranty for the whole machine. I thought the elbow should be able to rotate 90 degrees, especially since it would be moving counter clockwise, but the elbow was screwed in and has a solid connection with the radiator. I appreciate your suggestion though boss! I am thinking the best bet is the specialty shop I am heading to tomorrow that should have a promising solution. Thank you for your suggestion!
@ they put that elbow in really tight. It will work out. Keep grinding. Let me know what happens I’m kinda interested. I’m shocked the place you bought the Trailblazer from doesn’t have a solution.
It definitely feels tight, but I am sure the correct solution will fit perfectly in there. Will do! The welding supply store I ordered the trailblazer from had a solution but it would take 4 or 5 days to get here. Since I don’t have that long to wait, I am going to the place that they were going to get the solution from. I will take the rig down there this morning and get the proper fittings/hoses for the tight space. I am sure today’s vlog will primarily be about getting this situation solved and what was done to do so.
Air cooler in summer the air becomes extremely hot , contractor i run blasting rigs also 375cfm ,my machine supposed to be here Tuesday, according to friends in Oregon this machine won't weld and pump air at the same time at 27hp i don't need both air and weld at the same time unless i need air to breathe working in vessels, only need 30ish or less maybe for that, just have to figure it out whenever i get it in hoping i can adjust psi electronically? If not its that valve that has all thread bolt with yellow paint on it to lower psi on screw above that air psi gauge ,if your screw is kicked in going to draw down motor so assuming weld mode and air mode cannot be used at the same time, as long as i can plasma cut and run airpac ill be fine anyways
I will definitely have to look into if this machine can do air and weld at the same time. It can carbon arc at 200 amps so I would think it should be able to since it can have that output alongside the air. Working in confined spaces makes it necessary for air just as you mentioned and I completely agree. If I don’t find that in the owners manual, I might just try running a bead and running the air at the same time just to see what happens. Definitely something good to know the capability of as to know if a certain job can be done or not according to that possible restriction. That’s awesome your machine is coming in on Tuesday! Good for you boss!! Hopefully the psi can be changed electronically to make life easier there. I still have to play around with this air pak. As long as it works, that is the main thing for now. I am still looking forward to learning about all of the adjustments on it as I am used to running older machines on job sites. Thank you so much for your comment boss!
I am thinking about doing that. There is a specialty shop I am heading to tomorrow that should have all of the necessary hardware to do so. I would even be open to the possibility of a short flexible hose that could fit out the back hole at the same time as the oil drain hose. It will all depend on what they have at the store and what the quality each option will provide. Thank you for your suggestion and your comment boss!
I really like the idea of hard plumbing it, but the one concern I have about that is the oil drain hose. If at all possible, I would really like for both hoses to run out the hole in the very back of the machine. That way there will not be any interference with the tank holders. I don’t know whether the hard plumbing would make the hole too tight with the oil drain hose. Granted I am the biggest expert on this particular topic, so I will have to see in person if that will work. Maybe a hard plumb to get a straighter shot out towards the back hole and a very short air hose fitting to squeeze through the hole alongside the oil drain hose will make it to where isn’t too tight.
I have thought about that, but I want to keep opening up the whole as a last resort. Not that I don’t think it is a good idea, but if I do something to the machine that alters it in that kind of manner, it will void the warranty of the whole machine. As much as I agree it would make it easier by opening up the hole, I would just be concerned about losing the warranty since Miller told me that on the phone yesterday morning. I really appreciate the suggestion though!
I am heading to a specialty store that should have all the connections needed to do that. Another possibility would be to have a short but similar air hose as to what runs from the screw compressor to the radiator, then a quick disconnect that can be connected to the longer air hose. I will be seeing what they have in stock that will provide a quality solution for the dilemma at hand. Thank you for your suggestion!
Can you turn that elbow, so the hose lines up with it better?

hard plumb it to the opening or a better angle

@@mikeboughton3032boom that would be the best idea right there.

@@WeldinCowboy Well you can either open the hole up a little or make a new one dedicated to the airline an put a grommet

Why don’t you go get some elbows and straight air fittings and change the angle

The update on this will publish at 1700 PST! I hope you enjoy it!
