this entire installation
section before you start installation.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should perform
this installation.
• Turn the input power OFF at the
disconnect switch or fuse box before
working on this equipment. Turn off the input power to any
other equipment connected to the welding system at the
disconnect switch or fuse box before working on the
equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Always connect the POWER WAVE
®
S350 grounding lug to
a proper safety (Earth) ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The POWER WAVE
®
S350 will operate in harsh
environments. Even so, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed in order to assure long life and reliable
operation.
• The machine must be located where there is free circulation
of clean air such that air movement in the back, out the sides
and bottom will not be restricted.
• Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine should be
kept to a minimum. The use of air filters on the air intake is
not recommended because
normal air flow may be restricted. Failure to observe these
precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures
and nuisance shutdown.
• Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do not place
on wet ground or in puddles.
• Do not mount the POWER WAVE
®
S350 over combustible sur-
faces. Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that surface shall be
covered with a steel plate at least .060” (1.6mm) thick, which
shall extend not less than 5.90” (150mm) beyond the
equipment on all sides.
LIFTING
Both handles should be used when lifting POWER WAVE
®
S350. When using
a crane or overhead device a lifting strap should be connected to both
handles. Do not attempt to lift the POWER WAVE
®
S350 with accessories
attached to it.

STACKING
The POWER WAVE
®
S350 cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Place the machine directly on a secure, level surface or on a recommended
undercarriage. The machine may topple over if this procedure is not
followed.
INPUT AND GROUND CONNECTIONS
Only a qualified electrician should connect the POWER WAVE
®
S350.
Installation should be made in accordance with the appropriate National
Electrical Code, all local codes and the information in this manual.
MACHINE GROUNDING
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground terminal marked with
a ground symbol is located next to the input power connection block.
See your local and national electrical codes for proper
grounding methods.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
Locate the POWER WAVE
®
S350 away from radio controlled machinery. The
normal operation of the POWER WAVE
®
S350 may adversely affect the
operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or
damage to the equipment.
• Lift only with equipment of adequate
lifting capacity.
• Be sure machine is stable when lifting.
• Do not operate machine while
suspended when lifting.
FALLING
