•Always connect the Power Wave grounding lug (located inside the reconnect input access door) to a proper safety (Earth) ground.
LOCATION AND MOUNTING
Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely circulate in through the rear louvers and out through the case sides and bottom. 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 filters. Failure to observe these precau- tions can result in excessive operating temperatures and nuisance shutdowns.

Power Wave machines can be stacked to a maxi- mum of three high. The bottom machine must always be placed on a firm, secure, level surface. There is a danger of machines toppling over if this precaution is not taken.
1.Remove the bottom and center option panels from the front of the Control Box.
2.Disconnect the connector between the Control Box and the wire drive located in the middle of the Control Box back near the bottom of the Control Box.
