SECTION 3 − SPECIFICATIONS 3-1. Included with Your Unit Welding Power Source 5 ft (1.5 m) Primary Cord With Plug Gas Hose Gas Regulator 12 ft (3.7 m) Work Cable With Clamp Air-Cooled 150 Amp TIG Torch with 12 ft (3.7 m) Cable Some assembly is required.
SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Selecting A Location Handles Use Handles to lift welder; get help if necessary. Cart Movement Place welder on cart to move unit. Line Disconnect Device Locate unit near correct input pow- er supply. Position unit so air can circulate. For information about sources of high-frequency see Section 8.
4-3. Shielding Gas Connections Use argon shielding gas for best performance. Cylinder Valve Open valve slightly so gas flow blows dirt from valve. Close valve. Tools Needed: Regulator/Flow Gauge 5/8, 1-1/8 in Connect regulator/flow gauge to gas cylinder. Do not overtighten. Connect gas hose to gas in fitting.
4-5. Connecting Input Power Installation must meet all Na- tional and Local Codes − have only qualified persons make this installation. Disconnect and lockout/tag- out input power before con- necting input conductors from unit. Always connect green or green/yellow conductor 18 in (457 mm) of supply grounding terminal space for airflow...
SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Controls Material Switch Do not use AC output in damp areas, if movement is confined, or if there is danger of falling. Use AC output ONLY if required for the welding process, and then use a remote control. Do not change position of switch while welding or while under load.
