Immediately upon receipt of the welder, inspect the shipping box for any damage and notify the
carrier of such damage before accepting delivery. Then inspect the Workhorse 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.
Check 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.
3.2 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.
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.
3.3 Selecting Suitable Supply Cables
The standard power input cable for the Workhorse 300S welder is a high quality #10 gauge that
is 12.5 feet long. The secondary cables that connect the electrode holder or TIG torch vary in
length according to needs, but are normally 1/0 gauge and 25 feet in length. Heavier 2/0 gauge
cables can be used to extend the distance between the machine and work surface. Standard
ground cables are 1/0 gauge and 25 feet in length. Work cables and accessories may be
optionally supplied with the Workhorse 300S power.
WARNING!

Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.

The primary cable supplied with the power source has 4 conductors, with the exception
of the 575V machine, see note below. When connecting an attachment plug or hard
wiring to an electrical service box, connect the green wire to the ground. The remaining
3 conductors can be connected to the phases in any order.
Note: 575V welders have 5-conductor primary cable with two ground
wires, green and orange
.
For single phase 240V connection, the RED lead is not connected
.
Once connected to the primary power, the power source must be turned OFF before the
unit is moved.
