INSTALLATION
1. Before starting the installation, check with the local
power company if there is any question about
whether your power supply is adequate for the volt-
age, amperes, phase, and frequency specified on
the welder nameplate. Also be sure the planned
installation will meet the U.S. National Electrical
Code and local code requirements. This welder
may be operated from a single phase line or from
one phase of a three phase line.
2. Models that have multiple input voltages specified
on the nameplate (e.g. 208/230) are shipped con-
nected for the highest voltage. If the welder is to be
operated on lower voltage, it must be reconnected
according to the instructions in Figure A.1 for dual
voltage machines and Figure A.2 for triple voltage
machines.
Make certain that the input power is electrically
disconnected before removing the screw on
the reconnect panel access cover.

Connections
3.The 208/230 volt 60 Hz model POWER MIG is
shipped with a 10 ft. input cable and plug connect-
ed to the welder. Obtain a receptacle and mount it
in a suitable location. Be sure it can be reached by
the plug on the input cable attached to the welder.
Mount with the grounding terminal at the top to
allow the power cable to hang down without
bending.
The 230/460/575 volt 60 Hz model is not equipped
with a plug, an input cable or a receptacle.
