CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed.
Installation and Operator Instructions General Description It is important to check these conditions because many engine driven generators produce high voltage spikes. Invertec 170TX/TPX and 220TPX are constant current, Operation of this machine with engine driven generators continous control arc welding power sources for stick not conforming to these conditions is not recommended and tig process.
