2. INSTALLATION
Do not power on the equipment before the mechanical installation is complete.
Place the equipment on a stable and clean ground, the subfeeder control panel facing up. Protect the equipment
from rain and direct sunshine.
Before installation and use
Disconnect the welding machine from the mains before starting the subfeeder installation.
Always check before use that welding cables, shielding gas hose, earth return cable/clamp and mains cable are in ser-
viceable condition. Ensure that the connectors are correctly fastened. Loose connectors can impair welding per-
formance and damage connectors.
•
The product is packed in specially designed transport cartons. However, always before use make sure the products
have not been damaged during transportation.
•
Check also that you have received the components you ordered and that the operating manuals are available.
•
Straighten the subfeeder cable by carrying the subfeeder close to the work place.
•
Before loading the filler wire, ensure that there are no tight bends in the cable.
•
Ensure that the correct wire liner is fitted and installed correctly for the intended welding application.
•
Before welding, ensure that the installation as well as the filler wire, shielding gas, cooler and voltage sensing cable
preparations are completed.
Lifting subfeeder
SuperSnake GTX subfeeder can be lifted with a hoist and a 4-legged strap connected to the corners of the protective
frame. Without the protective frame, lifting the subfeeder with a hoist is not possible.
For lifting, temporarily coil the cables and tie them to the hoist hook (as applicable) so that the full weight of the cables
doesn't rest solely on the subfeeder connectors.
