Setup Guide
Getting Started
UNPACK YOUR UNIT.
Upon arrival, you will need to completely unpack your unit, and check
things over. This is a time sensitive matter. Do not delay or hold the
welder unopened in the box. First, make sure the unit is opened from
the top. Be careful with using knives and sharp objects so you won
’ t
cut cords and cables inside the boxes. Lay all items out and inspect
them.
You should have the following in your box:
1. Welder.
2. Foot Pedal (Deluxe Style Standard, NOVA Style Optional).
3. Floating Ball Type Brass Argon Regulator with Tubing.
4. Air - Regulator with built in water trap/particulate filter.
5. 17 Series Air - Cooled Torch (Rigid/Straight Neck) 12.5 ft..
6. 250A Stick Electrode Holder (approx. 9.5 ft with cable).
7. 200A Work Clamp (approx. 9.5 ft with cable).
8. Consumable Starter Kits for TIG. Tungsten not included.
9. Consumable Starter Kit for Plasma. (50 - 60A rated Tips)
10. S45 Plasma torch.
11. 240V to 120V adapter
When you receive your package, inspect the unit for damage. Check for
the presence and general condition of the accessories. Some slight
rubbing or chaffing of some of the accessories may be present, but this
is considered normal. If any item is damaged or missing, please inform
Everlast within 72 hours of product receipt. See pages 4 and 5 for
more details. Assemble the front, middle and rear handles with the
supplied screws. Do not overtighten the screws.
POWER UP AND TEST YOUR UNIT.
You will need to fully test the unit as soon as possible. Within 72 hours
after receipt of the unit, be sure to have every thing you need at hand
to test the unit. Make sure the correct input power, wiring, and plug
configuration is being used. Then, power up your machine without any
accessories installed. Allow the unit to idle for 15 minutes. Check and
observe operation of knobs, controls and buttons, cycling through each
as required. Make sure the fan is running at full speed. After the test
NOTICE:
The foot pedal may arrive with the top separated from the bottom. This is not dam-
age. The top can easily be installed on the bottom, by aligning the pivot pins with the
corresponding holes for the pins located in the top. The pins are spring loaded and
can be squeezed so that the top slides down onto the pins. The pins will pop out into
the holes and allow the top to pivot once the pins and holes are properly aligned.
You may need to make sure the pressure return spring is flipped so that it pushes
back against the pedal as it is assembled. Similarly, the foot pedal may be disassem-
bled simply by pressing in on the ends of the pins on both sides to remove the top.
is completed, turn the unit off, connect the accessories, shielding gas
(customer supplied) and conduct live testing of all the functions and
features of the machine. For testing and welding make sure work
clamp is connected directly to the part being welded (work). Check
for arc starting and stability. If problems are observed, contact Ever-
last. See page 5 for more information.
NOTICE: Cosmetic damage
claims after 30 days will not be accepted, unless Everlast is contacted
and informed of such delay and reason for such a required delay (i.e.
Overseas in deployment).
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
Be sure to check for gas leaks before attempting to weld or cut. For
TIG operation, you can test this by installing both back caps into the
TIG torch head (from both sides). Next install the regulator and
tighten to both cylinder and unit (see section on regulator installa-
tion). After the regulator is secured, set post flow time to maximum.
Trigger a false start with either the foot pedal or torch switch by tap-
ping and releasing so that post flow can flow. Observe the ball on the
regulator. It will briefly float before settling back down. If it continues
to float or rattle, you have a leak. For the Plasma Cutter, connect all
the lines and tighten and recheck any related clamps, plugs and fit-
tings. If you hear or suspect leaks either while configured to TIG weld
or while configured to Plasma cut, use warm, soapy water (or a dedi-
cated leak testing solution available from welding suppliers) and
spray on all connections, including the torch connections at the head
and handle. If any leaks are present, bubbles will form around the
area of the leak. Tighten any clamps or fittings found to be leaking.
If the problem cannot be remedied, contact Everlast.
DISTANCE YOUR WELDER FROM YOUR WORK.
As a best practice technique, be sure to locate your welder away from
the immediate area you are welding. The fan(s) found in your unit
are powerful enough to create strong air turbulence in the weld area.
This will disrupt the smooth, even flow of shielding gas around your
weld creating unstable arcs, porous welds, and dull finish on the
weld. If possible the welder should be located at least 6 feet away
from the weld area and should be on a different level to prevent weld
porosity and defects being created by the welder
’ s fan system. Keep
in mind the fan draws air in from the rear and exhausts out the front
and the sides of the unit. This information also pertains to the water
-
cooler, if used.
GIVE YOUR WELDER SPACE TO COOL.
The welder needs room to cool itself. Place the unit in a place that
will allow
18” from all sides to allow for proper cooling. The welder
pulls air in from the rear, and pushes it through the unit ’ s heat sinks
to cool the electronics. The air is then exhausted through the front
panel and side louvers of the unit. If any of sides is blocked or re-
stricted, the duty cycle will be reduced, and overheating will occur,
leading to possible damage if the restriction is severe enough. Never
