KickingHorse Local Reference Manifest

This manifest maps each KickingHorse guide to the exact local reference files in assets/reference_doc/KickingHorse so technicians can jump straight from a symptom to the best supporting document.

How to Use This Manifest

Start with the model guide for branch logic, field measurements, and repair verification.
Use this page when the guide points you toward a local service manual, wiring image, parts list, or workbook-backed file path.
If several files exist for one model, open the files listed in Open first before the general owner manual.
Some local asset filenames use non-English characters. This page uses stable English labels plus file type so technicians can still find the right file even when a shell renders the literal filename badly.

Quick Symptom Jump

Symptom family	Best models to open first	Why
dead machine, weak arc, branch-power suspicion, or polarity dispute	`A100`, `A220`, `MA200TS`	these give the strongest utility-path, current-path, and setup-state splits in the brand
no wire feed, weird display, or mode confusion	`M185`, `MA200TS`, `F130`	these have the clearest control, display, trigger-path, source-baseline, and wire-size evidence
one-second shutdown or unstable power-up	`MA200TS`, `A100`	both have strong local evidence for support-power and switch-path separation
no HF, air but no cut, or pilot without transfer	`P40`	this is the brand's strongest schematic-backed plasma reference set

Official Parts-Entry Shortcuts

Use this section when the complaint has already been isolated to a current-path, accessory, consumable, or kit branch and the technician needs the fastest official ordering route.

Technician Pack Shortcuts

Use this section when the model is already known and the technician wants the fastest route into the new bench-facing workflow instead of starting from the narrative guide alone.

Model	Start with	Then open	Use when
A100	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	dead machine, no OCV, blinking power light, polarity mistakes, or utility-path suspicion
A220	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	weak top-end arc, hot clamp or holder, polarity mistakes, or source-path sensitivity
F130	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	trigger-state complaints, compact-MIG front-end seat faults, breaker-trip complaints, cord-path mistakes, and wire-size setup mistakes
M185	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	no-feed plus bad-display overlap, preset-versus-actual display faults, source-path complaints, and inductance-driven false faults
MA200TS	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	feed-on-power-up, one-second shutdown, or maxed display
P40	measurement card	job packet, board opening map, fault router	no HF, no OCV, or air with no cut

Parts, Wear-Item, and Exploded-View Files

These files are the fastest way to rule out missing wear parts, wrong assembly order, or package mismatch:

Model	File	Use it for
A100	`A100 wear-parts workbook (.xlsx)`	confirming fitted stick-welder wear parts and package-specific items
A220	`A220 wear-parts workbook (.xlsx)`	lead, accessory, and wear-item confirmation on the larger arc platform
F130	`F130 wear-parts workbook (.xlsx)`	feed-path, torch-front-end, and wear-item confirmation
M185	`M185 exploded-view workbook (.xls)`	exploded-view and sequence confirmation before replacing electronics
MA200TS	`MA200TS parts workbook (.xlsx)`	motor-feed, torch, and package-specific assembly checking
P40	`P40 parts breakdown (.pdf)`	plasma torch-stack order, front-end parts, and consumable confirmation

Presentation and Service Files

Model	File	Use it for
MA200TS	`MA200TS service overview (.pptx)`	quick service-overview training or visual walk-through when the PDF alone is slower to use
P40	`P40 service note B.067RM.414-A MUR (.pdf)`	supporting branch separation around the MUR or related support circuitry when the main three P40 files do not fully resolve the fault

Notes

MA200TS and P40 are the deepest local service packages in the brand and should be opened early for any complaint that survives a basic accessory, clamp, or power-source baseline.
A100 and A220 rely more heavily on owner-manual baseline plus workbook-driven logic, so use the guide first and the local files to confirm package and baseline details.
A100 and A220 should stay on supported stick baselines. Treat polarity mistakes, weak source, hot current path, or improvised TIG routing as external proof failures before internal repair.
F130 should stay on factory 0.035 in baseline or a proper 0.030 in conversion before deeper teardown. Do not treat 0.023 in, DCEP wire expectations, left-hand-thread seat damage, or non-compliant extension-cord behavior as internal evidence.
M185 needs one sane inductance baseline, one real 208/230 V source proof, and one preset-versus-actual display proof before the display PCB branch becomes the lead suspect.
If the diagnosis has already proven an external part or kit branch, the Official Parts-Entry Shortcuts above are the fastest route from the manifest into the official ordering flow.
A100 and A220 now also have their own measurement cards, packets, opening maps, and routers, so the arc family no longer has to enter through the guide alone.
