3.Attach the flow regulator to the cylinder valve and tighten the union nut securely with a wrench. The flow regulator for carbon dioxide must have a plas- tic washer seated in the fitting that attaches to the cylinder to prevent leakage.

4.Refer to Figure A.6. Attach one end of inlet gas hose to the outlet fitting of the flow regulator and tighten the union nut securely with a wrench. Connect the other end to the Gas Solenoid Inlet Fitting (5/8-18 female threads — for CGA — 032 fitting). Make certain the gas hose is not kinked or twisted.

INPUT CONNECTIONS

Refer to Figure A.6.

The WELDMARK 135 PLUS has two input connec- tions, the power input cable, and the Gas Solenoid Inlet Fitting. Both are located on the rear of the machine.

2. With the cylinder securely installed, remove the
cylinder cap. Stand to one side away from the out-	Power
let and open the cylinder valve very slightly for an	Input
instant. This blows away any dust or dirt which may	Cable
have accumulated in the valve outlet.

WARNING

BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FACE AWAY FROM THE VALVE OUTLET WHEN “CRACKING” THE VALVE. Never stand directly in front of or behind the flow regulator when opening the cylinder valve. Always stand to one side.
