TW4300 Setup and Installation
Initial Steps
Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
This section provides detailed instructions for the proper installation of the TW4300. It is
recommended that these instructions be followed carefully to allow for the best possible oper-
ating environment.
Handling and Unpacking the Welder
Immediately upon receipt of the welder, inspect the shipment for any damage and notify the
carrier of such damage before accepting delivery. Inspect welder for damage which may have
occurred in transit. After removing the components from the shipping container(s), check the
container for any loose parts. Remove all packing materials. Visually check all air passages of
power source for any packing materials that may obstruct airflow through the welder. If the
equipment is not being installed immediately, store it in a clean, dry, well
-
ventilated area until
installation.
Selecting a Location
The location of the power source should be carefully selected to ensure satisfactory and
dependable service. Choose a location relatively close to a properly fused source of electrical
power. Use care against toppling over if the machine is placed on a tilted surface or plane. It is
important that the machine be located in an open area where air can circulate freely through the
front and rear openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance
between the rear of the power source and wall or other obstruction.
Electrical Input Requirement
The welding power source is designed to be operated from three
-
phase, 60Hertz, AC power
supply. Consult the local electrical utility supplier if there are any questions on the electrical
system at the present installation site. The TW4300 should be operated from a separate, fused or
circuit
-
breaker protected circuit.
