Re: I have a millermatic185 true blue that will not feed....
Check for a broken /loose wire from the trigger on the hand piece back to the relay for the motor
the trigger completes the circuit when pressed so that is the circuit I would be first looking at

the dash speed readout is allways feed via the transmission speed sensor , it's usually close to the final drive output from transmission , this not working would also effect car if it had a automatic trans in it as it would not know what speed to shift at, a little less obvious in a 5 speed , wheel sensors usually only feedback to ABS brake system as they tell abs what tires are turning
Slide of the the little table with the accessories in.There is a feed dog adjustment lever at the back of the machine. sliding the lever to the 2 filled in arrows pointing down, will lower them and the 2 filled in arrows pointing up will raise them. The feed dogs will not rise up if you do not turn the hand wheel manually, even if the lever is slid to the right.You must make a complete turn of the wheel to raise the feed dogs.
Best wishes.
There are a number things that could cause your problem.
First place start is with the rim. Is the rim (wheel) true (straight), if it is bent it could have the tire or brake rubbing. If that is the problem you need to true or straighten or have the rim straightened.
2nd place to go is are the brakes too tight? If so adjust brakes.
3rd place to go could be a seriouse problem. Is the axle frozen. To test you will have to take the wheel off the bike. With the wheel loose from the bike see if the axle will turn if not try to loosen the bearing lock nut just a very little (like 1/8 of a turn) did it free up the axle or does the axle bind a little but still turn smoothly? If so Loosen the lock nut a little more. Just enough that the wheel will allow the axle to spin freely but not so loose as to allow the wheel to wobble sideways at all. If the axle turns and grinds and clunks your bearings likely need to be replaced and or greased. Do not just squirt oil into the bearings it is too light and will not last.
If you can see the tip of the wire, grab it with a plier, and pull. If it comes out easily, you need to adjust the tension on the feed wheel under the cover a little bit. Do NOT touch that adjustment with power on unless you are wearing good gloves, even then there is still a danger of shock as that is the point the secondary of the transformer ties to.
If it does not come out, open the cover,and look at the tension on the feed wheel- if it spins and no feeding, the welding wire may be jammed up or corroded to the liner of the handle. If it is all bunched up and tangled, that in itself may be the problem.
On these fax machines the most component that gets the most usage are the feed rolls.
Even though they are hard to find and hard to reach, using a flashlight one can view the surface of the feed wheels. By inspecting the surface, they may appear to be shinny instead of the normal feed wheel surface tracks.
Either the wheels need to be replaced or cleaning the surface might get a little reliablity, eventually they may need to be replaced.
Some feed wheels have a lower or they might be on the upper part of the drive train, where they have a square rubber pad.
This is especially true with document feeders, the most common part that wears out.
These pads or, arm tips wear out and need to be replaced.
I hope this helps out.
make sure all of the "orange" or "blue" tape are removed. open the front cover and remove the packing material.
install the ink cartirdges. turn on the printer and connct it to the computer.
go to the following link and see the users manual if you still having poblem and post back any other questions.
Seems the wheels on the left side of the feeder maybe slipped or something, I turned them 1/2 way over so the gray rubber part shows, then they were able to grip the paper and feed it into the copier. That worked for a little while, then it did it again, I turned them again and it worked. Maybe I just need to make sure they have a little traction to solve the problem. Thanks for your website.
