Installing Gas Bottle - Kemppi AX MIG Welder Operating Manual

2.25 Installing gas bottle

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. Secure the gas bottle properly in an upright position to e.g. a special holder on the wall.
2. If not already, connect the welding torch to the wire feeder.
3. Connect the gas hose to the wire feeder.
In a standard setup, the gas hose is included in the interconnection cable bundle (for more information, refer to "Con-
necting cables to wire feeder" on page 49).
4. Open the gas bottle valve.
5. Press the gas test button on the wire feeder or in the AX Manager's Tools view to run the gas into the system.
Use the gas test also to test that the gas flows through the system properly.
