4-8. Connecting To Weld Output Terminals
Ref. 802 169-A
Y Stop engine.
1 Positive (+) Weld Output
Terminal
2 Negative (−) Weld Output Ter-
minal
For Stick and TIG welding Direct
Current Electrode Positive
(DCEP), connect work cable to −
terminal and electrode holder cable
to + terminal.
For Direct Current Electrode Nega-
tive (DCEN), reverse cable
connections.
If equipped with optional polarity
switch, connect electrode holder
cable to Electrode (−) terminal on
left and work cable to Work (+) ter-
minal on right.
