Transport and Installation
•
The machines may only be transported and operated in an upright position.
•
Before moving, pull out mains plug and place on the machine.
•
Secure high-pressure shielding gas cylinder with safety chain to prevent it from toppling
over.
•
Do not roll over hoses or cables.
Place the shielding gas cylinder in the cylinder holder and secure it in place with the
securing chain.
Maximum permissible cylinder size at internal pressure:
•
200 bar, up to 50 l geometrical volume,
•
300 bar, up to 33 l geometrical volume.
When the current source is moved and positioned, it is only secure against falling to an
angle of 15° (as specified in EN 60974-1). Special attention should be paid to the fact
that, when the machine is moved, additional danger results from obstacles on the floor
as these can cause additional tilting moments.
Safety rules for crane transport
•
Carefully observe the accident prevention regulations VBG 9, VBG 9a and VGB 15.

•
Lift with the crane at all 4 ring screws simultaneously
(as depicted in Fig. 1).
•
Ensure an even distribution of the load to all four
ropes and maintain an angle of at least 60° of the
suspension ropes (see Fig. 2).
Use only ring chains or suspension ropes of equal length
(at least 1 m).
•
Load hooks with securing cleats and skackles of
corresponding size to DIN 82 101, Form A.
Use minimum rated size 0.4.
•
Before lifting with a crane, always remove the shielding gas cylinder from the welding
machine.
•
Never lift other loads together with the welding machine,
e.g. persons, toolboxes, wire spools etc.
•
Avoid jerks when raising and lowering the welding machine.
