INSTALLATION
SP 170-I
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
The SP 170-I has an IP21S rating. Locate the welder
in a dry location where there is free circulation of clean
air into the louvers in the back and out the front of the
unit. A location that minimizes the amount of smoke
and dirt drawn into the rear louvers reduces the
chance of dirt accumulation that can block air pas-
sages and cause overheating.
STACKING
SP 170-I’s cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Each machine must be placed on a secure, level sur-
face, either directly or on the recommended cart. The
machine may topple over if this procedure is not fol-
lowed.
LIMITATIONS
The SP 170-I cannot be used for pipe thawing.
MIG welding and flux cored arc welding are the only
processes supported by the SP 170-I
The handle can not be used for transport by crane.
