NOTE
• Check the minimum coolant level of the cooling unit.
• Make sure that the coolant supply and return have been installed
properly. Coolant supply = blue, Coolant return = red.
• Do not use any deionized or demineralized water as coolant or for
tightness or flow tests.
This may impair the service life of your welding torch.
• For liquid-cooled welding torches, we recommend using the
ABICOR BINZEL
coolant BTC-15
• Each time the device is commissioned or after each cable assembly
change, the cooling system must be purged of any air. Disconnect the
coolant return hose from the re-circulating cooling unit and hold it over a
collecting device. Close opening at the coolant return. Open it again by
repeatedly and abruptly releasing it, until the coolant is flowing
continuously and without air bubbles.
NOTE
• The type and quantity of the shielding gas quantity depends on the
welding task and the gas nozzle geometry.
• Make all shielding gas connections gas-tight.
• To prevent the shielding gas supply from becoming clogged by
impurities, the cylinder valve must be opened briefly, before connecting
the cylinder. This will blow out any impurities that may be present.
NOTE
• As the
ABIMIG
®
WT welding torches are integrated into a welding
system, the operating instructions of the welding components, such as the
welding power supply, must be observed during operation.
