Setting Up Equipment
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL!
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of
receptacle. This welder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock.
Do not remove the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Use only the supplied adapter
between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch
is OFF when connecting your welder's power cord directly to a properly grounded 230V, 50-amp
input power supply.
1. POWER REQUIREMENT - AC single phase 230V (200-240V) 60 HZ fused with a 50-amp time
delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL
power source voltage is less than 215 volts AC or greater than 240 volts AC.
2. INSTALL THE WIRE ROLLER - The wire roller has been factory installed. However, check to
make certain the correct wire groove is in place to accommodate the size of wire you are using.
Open the wire feed compartment. Adjust the drive roller using the following steps (see following
image regarding the wire feeder structure):
3.
a. Remove the drive tension by loosening the Drive Tension Adjuster (1) and moving the
Drive Tension Adjustor away from the Drive Tension Arm (2). Lift the Drive Tension
Arm away from the Drive Roller (3).
b. If there is wire already installed in the welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by hand-
turning the spool clockwise. Be careful not to let all the wire come out of the rear end
of the inlet guide tube. Hold onto it or the wire spool will unspool itself. Put the end of
the wire into the hole on the outside edge of the wire spool and bend it over to hold the
wire in place. Remove the spool of wire from the drive compartment of the welder.
