LIFTING
Lift the machine by the lift bail only. The lift bail is
designed to lift the power source only. Do not attempt
to lift the Power Wave with accessories attached to it.
STACKING
Power Wave AC/DC machine cannot be stacked.
MACHINE GROUNDING
The frame of the welder must be grounded. A ground
terminal marked with the symbol is located inside
the reconnect/input access door for this purpose. See
your local and national electrical codes for proper
grounding methods.
HIGH FREQUENCY PROTECTION
Locate the Power Wave away from radio controlled
machinery.
The normal operation of the Power Wave may
adversely affect the operation of RF controlled
equipment, which may result in bodily injury or
damage to the equipment.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Read this entire installation section before you
start installation.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel
should perform this installa-
tion.
• Turn the input power OFF at
the disconnect switch or fuse
box before working on this
equipment. Turn off the input
power to any other equipment connected to the
welding system at the disconnect switch or fuse
box before working on the equipment.
• Do not touch electrically hot parts.
• Always connect the Power Wave grounding lug
(located inside the reconnect input access door)
to a proper safety (Earth) ground.

SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Do not use Power Waves in outdoor environments. The
Power Wave power source should not be subjected to
falling water, nor should any parts of it be submerged in
water. Doing so may cause improper operation as well
as pose a safety hazard. The best practice is to keep the
machine in a dry, sheltered area.
Do not mount the PowerWave over combustible sur-
faces. Where there is a combustible surface directly
under stationary or fixed electrical equipment, that
surface shall be covered with a steel plate atleast
.060" (1.6mm) thick, which shall extend not less than
5.90" (150mm) beyond the equipment on all sides.
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely
circulate in through the rear louvers and out through
the case sides and bottom. Dirt, dust, or any foreign
material that can be drawn into the welder should be
kept at a minimum. Do not use air filters on the air
intake because the air flow will be restricted. Failure to
observe these precautions can result in excessive
operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.
