3. The POWER MIG is shipped with a 10ft.(3.05m)
input cable and plug connected to the welder.
Using the instructions in Figure A.2, have a quali-
fied electrician connect the receptacle or cable to
the input power lines and the system ground per
the U.S. National Electrical Code and any applica-
ble local codes. See "Technical Specifications"
at the beginning of this chapter for proper wire
sizes. For long runs over 100ft. (30.48m), larger
copper wires should be used. Fuse the two hot
lines with super lag type fuses as shown in the fol-
lowing diagram. The center contact in the recepta-
cle is for the grounding connection. A green wire in
the input cable connects this contact to the frame of
the welder. This ensures proper grounding of the
welder frame when the welder plug is inserted into
the receptacle.
