MOUNTING / CONNECTING THE GAS CYLINDER
- Stand the cylinder on the bracket next to the cooling unit
- Fix the gas cylinder in place with the safety chain
N.B.! The cylinder is only fixed properly if the chain is placed around the
top part of the cylinder (but not around the neck of the cylinder)
- Take off the protective cap from the cylinder
- Give the cylinder valve a quick turn to the left so as to blow off any dirt
that may have accumulated
- Check the seal on the pressure regulator
- Attach the pressure regulator to the gas cylinder and tighten it
- Connect the gas hose from the machine to the pressure regulator
MOUNTING THE WELDING TORCH
- Shift the mains switch to the “O” position
- Check that the torch is correctly tooled up. Insert it - infeed tube first
- into the central torch connection socket
on the power source
(wirefeeder)
- Fix by tightening the swivel nut by hand
- Plug the torch control plug into the torch control socket
, and latch
it
- Connect up the welding torch hoses for water forward and return flow,
as per the colour markings, to plug-type connectors
on the power
source / wirefeeder (only on Dinse / Euroconnector versions)
STARTING UP THE COOLING UNIT
N.B.! Check the volume and quality of coolant water before starting to use
the unit.
- Shift the mains switch to the “O” position
- Remove the screw cap from the filler neck
- Top up with coolant (mixing ratio as per following table)
- Screw the cap back on again
N.B.! Only use clean tap water. The electrical conductivity of all other
antifreeze agents makes them unsuitable for use here.
Warning! As Fronius has no influence on factors such as the
quality, purity and filling-level of the coolant, no warranty is given
for the coolant pump.
