RECONNECT PROCEDURE
Multiple input voltage welders are shipped from the fac-
tory connected for the highest voltage listed on the
machine's rating plate. Before installing the welder, be
sure the reconnect panel is connected for the proper
voltage.
Failure to follow these instructions can cause immedi-
ate failure of components in the welder.
To reconnect a multiple voltage machine to a different
voltage, remove input power and change the position of
the jumper links on the reconnect panel. Follow the
input connection diagram, located on the inside access
panel cover, appropriate for your machine's input volt-
age. This same connection diagram is shown in Figure
A.4 below.
OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
CONNECT ELECTRODE AND WORK
LEADS TO OUTPUT TERMINALS
The output (welding) cables are connected to the out-
put terminals marked "+" and "-" . These 1/2" terminals
are located at the lower right and lower left corners of
the front panel. See
Figure A.5
.
See
Table A.1
for recommended cable sizes for com-
bined lengths of electrode and work cables.
