Installing Gas Bottle And Testing Gas Flow - Kemppi X5 FastMig Operating Manual

2.14 Installing gas bottle and testing gas flow

Handle gas bottles with care. There is a risk of injury if the gas bottle or the bottle valve is damaged!
Always secure the gas bottle properly in an upright position to a special holder on the wall or on the welding equip-
ment cart. Always keep the gas bottle valve closed when not welding.
- If a transport unit with a gas bottle rack is used, install the gas bottle on the transport unit first, then make the con-
nections.
- Install the welding gun to the wire feeder before installing and testing the gas bottle.
- Do not use the whole contents of the bottle.
- Always use an approved and tested regulator and flow meter.
Contact your local Kemppi dealer for choosing the gas and the equipment.
1. Without gas bottle cart: Place the gas bottle in a suitable, secure location.
2. With gas bottle cart: Move the gas bottle on the transport unit's gas bottle rack and secure it in place with the straps
and fixing points provided.
3. If not already, connect the welding gun to the wire feeder.
4. Connect the gas hose to the wire feeder.
