COUPON INSERTION / REMOVAL
CAUtiOn
Do not use excessive force when inserting and
removing coupons into the arm.
Stand
The stand is comprised of the post, arm, table, collar
pins, base and two weights. Users should position
themselves at the stand during virtual welding.
Post
The arm and table slide up and down and rest on the
collar pins that are inserted into the post. Hole num-
bers 0 through 28 indicate position of welding for pro-
gram accuracy. The position that the table or arm is
located is read by identifying the numbered hole that
the pin has been inserted into.
Coupon Positioning In Swing Arm
The coupons can be inserted into the arm to accom-
modate flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead welding
positions. The knob on the front of the swing arm can
be pulled out for coupons to be inserted or removed
and pushed in for coupons to be secured. The front of
the swing arm can be rotated down at a 45 or 90-
degree angle to allow 2G, 5G and 6G pipe welding
positions. The arm can also be rotated around the
post to comfortably accommodate left and right hand-
ed welders or simulate specific welding applications.
Table
The table can be used to gain stability and learn prop-
er body positioning. The base supports the stand and
has weights on the back to maintain stability. The
table can be swung out of the way when not in use.
Do not use the Stand/Table without the base
counter weights properly positioned.
