UNPACK THE UNIT.
Upon arrival, you will need to completely unpack your unit, and check
things over. This is a time sensitive matter. Do not delay or hold the weld-
er unopened in the box. First, make sure the unit is opened from the top.
Be careful with using knives and sharp objects so you won't cut cords and
cables inside the boxes. Lay all items out and inspect them.
You should have the following in your boxes.
1.
Welding Power Source: Typhoon 500.
2.
Cart: PowerCart 300 with accessory holders.

When you receive your package, inspect the unit for damage. Check for
the presence of and the general condition of the accessories. Some slight
rubbing or chaffing of some of the accessories may be present. This is
considered normal. If any item is damaged or missing, please inform Ever-
last within 72 hours of product receipt. See pages 4 and 5 for more de-
tails. Check all packaging, box corners and flaps for small items.
The foot pedal may arrive with the top separated from the bottom. This
is not damage. The top can easily be installed on the bottom, by align-
ing the pivot pins with the corresponding holes for the pins located in
the top. The pins are spring loaded and can be squeezed so that the top
slides down onto the pins. The pins will pop out into the holes and
allow the top to pivot once the pins and holes are properly aligned.
You may need to make sure the pressure return spring is flipped so that
it pushes back against the pedal as it is assembled. Similarly, the foot
pedal may be disassembled simply by pressing in on the ends of the
pins on both sides to remove the top.
ASSEMBLE AND READY THE UNIT.
Assemble the unit, assembling the cart first. Lay out all the pieces and
account for the parts needed. Enough fasteners should be included. How-

NOTICE:
Assemble the Welding Package.
1.
Fully assemble the cart, except the top retaining bar, using the directions
for cart assembly for the PowerCart 300. Leave all screws loose until
completely assembled for easy assembly.
2.
Install the Cooler, using the 4 thumbscrews provided in the kit to screw
the cooler onto the cart from the bottom.
3.
Engage the top rails of the cooler with the bottom rails located on the
welder. The rails on the cooler and the rails on the bottom of the welder
provide an interference fit. This means that the connection requires a
certain amount of force to seat together. The connection may not fully seat
home. As long as the top retaining bar can be attached, this is not a prob-
lem. In case the rails do not fit correctly, the bottom rails can be loosened
slightly and spread open with a test fit, and adjusted. If the rails do not fit,
contact Everlast Technical Support. Tighten rail screws after the rails test fit
successfully.
4.
Install top retaining bar and accessory hooks and grab handle Installation
of accessory handle and hooks is optional.

ever, should any fasteners appear to be damaged or missing, they can be
sourced locally at minimal expense and effort.. Remove the factory shipped
plastic over the screen. Install cut-to-fit screen protector (not included,
customer supplied) on the screen if desired before use.
POWER UP AND TEST THE UNIT.
You will need to fully test the unit as soon as possible. Within 72 hours
after delivery of the unit, be sure to have every thing you need at hand to
test the unit. Make sure the correct input power, wiring, and plug configu-
ration is being used. Then, power up your machine without any accesso-
ries installed. Allow the unit to idle for 15 minutes. Check and observe
operation of knobs, controls and keys, cycling through each as required.
Make sure the fan is operating via the control panel menu setting. After
