SECTION 5 − INSTALLATION 5-1. Selecting A Location Movement Do not move or operate unit where it could tip. Location And Airflow Special installation may be required where gasoline or volatile liquids are present − see NEC Article 511 or CEC Section 20.
5-2. Selecting Cable Sizes* NOTICE − The Total Cable Length in Weld Circuit (see table below) is the combined length of both weld cables. For example, if the power source is 100 ft (30 m) from the workpiece, the total cable length in the weld circuit is 200 ft (2 cables x 100 ft). Use the 200 ft (60 m) column to determine cable size.
