SECTION 4 − INSTALLATION 4-1. Selecting A Location (All Models) Handles Use Handles to lift welder; get help if necessary. Cart Movement Place welder on cart to move unit. Tipping Do not move or operate unit where it could tip. Line Disconnect Device Locate unit near correct input pow- er supply.
4-3. Shielding Gas Connections Use argon shielding gas for best performance. Cylinder Valve Open valve slightly so gas flow blows dirt from valve. Close valve. Tools Needed: Regulator/Flow Gauge 5/8, 1-1/8 in. Connect regulator/flow gauge to gas cylinder. Do not over tighten. Connect gas hose to gas in fitting.
4-7. Connecting 115 Volts Input Power For Diversion 180 Models Installation must meet all National and Local Codes − have only qualified persons make this installation. Special installation may be required where gasoline or volatile liquids are present − see NEC Article 511 or CEC Section 20.
4-8. Connecting 230 Volts Input Power For Diversion 180 Models Installation must meet all Na- tional and Local Codes − have only qualified persons make this installation. Always connect green or green/yellow conductor supply grounding terminal first, and never to a line termi- nal.
