INSTALLATION
Read this entire installation section before you start installation.
LIFTING
Lift the machine by the lift bail only. Do not attempt to lift the machine by the push handle.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
• Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
•Turn the input power OFF at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on this equipment.
•Do not touch electrically hot parts.
•Always connect the Power Wave grounding terminal (located inside the reconnect input access doors).
HIGH FREQUENCY PRECAUTIONS
If possible, locate the Power Wave away from radio controlled machinery. The normal operation of the Power Wave may adversely affect the operation of RF controlled equipment, which may result in bodily injury or damage to the equipment.
INPUT CONNECTIONS
Be sure the voltage, phase, and frequency of the input power is as specified on the rating plate, located on the rear of the machine. See Figure A.1 for the loca- tion of the rating plate.
FIGURE A.1 - RATING PLATE LOCATION
SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION
Place the welder where clean cooling air can circulate in through the rear louvers and out through the side and front louvers. Dirt, dust, or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Using filters on the air intake to prevent dirt from building up restricts air flow. Do not use such fil- ters. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shut- downs.

The Power Wave may be used outdoors. Power Wave power sources carry an IP23 enclosure rating. They are rated for use in damp, dirty environments subject to occasional falling water such as rain. However, the best practice is to keep the machine in a dry, sheltered area, since a wet environment speeds corrosion of parts. Do not place the machine in puddles or other- wise submerge parts of the machine in water. This may cause improper operation and is a possible safe- ty hazard.
STACKING
Power Wave machines cannot be stacked.
TILTING
Each machine must be placed on a secure, level sur- face. The machine may topple over if this procedure is not followed.

WARNING
Only a qualified electrician should connect the input leads to the Power Wave. Connections should be made in accordance with all local and national electri- cal codes and the connection diagram located on the inside of the reconnect/input access door of the machine. Failure to do so may result in bodily injury or death.
