EQUIPMENT LIMITATIONS

The Demo Zone is intended for indoor display and demonstration use. The Demo Zone is intended for light duty operation. Because of the input power limita- tion, power sources (except Ranger 250) may only be used at maximum output with low duty cycles. (Refer to Welder Operation-Duty Cycle section of this manu- al).

The Demo zone is not intended for road transportation or to be hauled on a trailer.

The Demo zone must not be lifted with gas cylinders in place.

DESIGN FEATURES

PLATFORM COMMONALTIES

The Demo Zone utilizes standard power source and wire feeder configurations. Output cables and torches are modified in length for use with the Demo Zone.

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND FEATURES OF THE DEMO ZONE

Refer to the individual Operator’s Manuals for equip- ment included in the Demo Zone.

CIRCUIT BREAKER

The 230V input power to the Demo Zone is controlled by a 40-amp circuit breaker located on the rear of the Demo Zone.

REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

The power source and wire feed equipment included with the Demo Zone are individually listed or certified to CSA or UL agencies.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read and understand the Operator’s Manuals for all of the equipment contained in the Demo Zone. The operating instructions for each equipment type are not repeated here in the Demo Zone man- ual.

Plug the Demo Zone into a 230 volt 40 amp recepta- cle. Locate the circuit breaker at the rear of the Demo Zone and switch it on. Plug the lighting system into a 120 volt receptacle. Switch the power for individual machines on as required for demonstration purposes.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WELDING AND CUTTING AREA

WARNING

Welding and Cutting must take place only on the welding table provided with the Demo Zone. Do not weld or cut on objects away from the Demo Zone welding table. Do not weld on the frame of the Demo Zone.

Direct sparks away from welding machines, especially the fuel fill area of the Ranger 250.

WARNING

CYLINDERS could explode if damaged.

•Keep cylinders upright and secured to a support.

•Keep cylinders away from areas where they could be damaged.

•Never allow the electrodes or torches to touch the cylinders.

•Keep cylinders away from live electrical circuits.

•Maximum inlet pressures must be observed.

•Do not lift Demo Zone with gas cylinders in place.

•Do not strike an arc on any gas cylinders. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder.

•Gas cylinders must be securely fastened to the Demo Zone frame. Chains are supplied and are attached to the frame.

•When caster wheels are installed, block the Demo Zone from movement when removing or installing gas clinders.

POWER SOURCES

The Demo Zone is a flexible system capable of demonstrating many varied processes. The set-up of equipment may require polarity changes, torch changes or electrode changes. Turn-off the welding power source or plasma cutter when changing or con- necting output cables torches or electrodes.
