INSTALLATION
1. POWER REQUIREMENT - AC single phase
120V (110-120V) 60 HZ fused with a 20-amp
time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL
power source voltage is less than 105 volts AC
or greater than 132 volts AC.
Electrical Shock
•
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle. This welder
must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical
shock.
•
Do not remove grounding prong or alter
the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapters between the welder's power
cord and the power source receptacle.
Make sure the POWER switch is OFF
when connecting your welder's power
cord to a properly grounded 120 VAC, 60
HZ, Single Phase, 20 Amp input power
supply.
2. EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend
an extension cord because of the voltage drop
they produce. This drop, in voltage, can affect
the performance of the welder. If you need to
use an extension cord, it must be a size #12 or
larger. Check with a qualified electrician and
your local electrical codes for your specific
area. Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft.
in length.
3. INSTALL THE WIRE ROLLER - The wire
roller has been factory installed. However,
check to make certain the correct wire groove
is in place to accommodate the size of wire you
are using. Open the wire feed compartment.
Adjust the drive roller according to the following
steps, see following picture about the wire
feeder structure:
3.1 Open the door to the welder drive
compartment.
3.2 Remove the drive tension by
loosening the drive tension adjusting knob
(1) and lifting the Drive Tension Adjustor
away from the Drive Tension Arm (2). Lift
the Drive Tension Arm away from the Drive
Roller (3).
3.3 If there is wire already installed in the
welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by
hand-turning the spool clockwise. Be
careful to hold onto the wire while rolling it
back, if you let go of the wire when it
reaches the end of the inlet guide, the wire
will unspool itself. Put the end of the wire
into the hole on the outside edge of the
wire spool and bend it over to hold the wire
in place. Remove the spool of wire from
the drive compartment of the welder.
3.4 Rotate the Drive Roller Cap (3)
counterclockwise and remove it from the
Drive Roller.
3.5 Pull the Drive Roller off the Drive
Roller shaft.
3.6 Based on the wire diameter, select the
correct groove. When installing the drive
roller, the number stamped on the drive
roller for the wire size you are using should
be facing you. Push the Drive Roller onto
the Drive Roller Shaft.
3.7 Reinstall the Drive Roller Cap and
lock in place by turning it clockwise.
3.8 Close the door to the welder drive
compartment.
