Starting from center of DC-Z, the three leads 79 will be referred to as inner, middle, and outer.

1 Stabilizer DC-Z

2 Inner Lead 79

3 Middle Lead 79

4 Outer Lead 79

5 Wire (CV) Weld Output

Terminal

Middle lead 79 is connected to Wire (CV) weld terminal at the factory. Disconnect middle lead 79 from terminal.

To wet out weld puddle:

Remove insulation sleeve from in- ner lead 79. Connect inner lead 79 to Wire (CV) terminal, reusing hardware.
