NOTICE
Incorrect voltage and wiring can damage the welder system.
Ensure the voltage and wiring is correct prior to turning ON the power.
See rating label on unit and check input voltage available at site. Ensure that the
incoming voltage is equal to the level specified.
Installation must meet all National and Local Codes.
Disconnect and lockout/tagout input power before connecting input conductors
from unit. Follow established procedures regarding the installation and removal
of lockout/tagout devices.
Always connect green conductor to supply grounding terminal first and never
to a line terminal.
The electrical connection to the unit must be connected to an individual branch
circuit with a circuit breaker or fuse that does not exceed 40 Amps. This must be
in close proximity to the unit and within easy reach of the operator and marked
as the disconnecting device for the unit.
