-----------------------------------------------------------

LOCATION AND MOUNTING

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through
the case sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreign
material that can be drawn into the welder should be
kept at a minimum. Using filters on the air intake to
prevent dirt from building up restricts air flow. Do
not use such filters. Failure to observe these precau-
tions can result in excessive operating temperatures
and nuisance shutdowns.

STACKING

Power Wave machines can be stacked to a maxi-
mum of three high. The bottom machine must
always be placed on a firm, secure, level surface.
There is a danger of machines toppling over if this
precaution is not taken.

ENVIRONMENT

The Power Wave power source carries an IP21 envi-
ronmental rating. If subjected to occasional falling
water, such as rain, the machine should be sheltered.
INSTALLATION

LIFTING

Lift the machine by the lift bail only. The lift bail is
designed to lift the power source only. Do not
attempt to lift the Power Wave with accessories
attached to it.
