INSTALLATION

 

 

A-6

 

DO NOT ATTACH THE REGULATOR IF OIL, GREASE OR DAMAGE IS PRESENT! Inform your gas supplier of this condition. Oil or grease in the presence of high pressure oxygen is explosive.

3.Stand to one side away from the outlet and open the cylinder valve for an instant. This blows away any dust or dirt which may have accumulated in the valve outlet.

WARNING

Be sure to keep your face away from the valve outlet when “cracking” the valve.

4.Attach the flow regulator to the cylinder valve and tighten the union nut(s) securely with a wrench.

NOTE: If connecting to 100% CO2 cylinder, insert regulator adapter between regulator and cylinder valve. If adapter is equipped with a plastic washer,

be sure it is seated for connection to the CO2 cylin- der.

5.Attach one end of the inlet gas hose to the outlet fitting of the flow regulator, the other end to the POWER MIG 300 rear fitting, and tighten the union nuts securely with a wrench.

6.Before opening the cylinder valve, turn the regula- tor adjusting knob counterclockwise until the adjusting spring pressure is released.

7.Standing to one side, open the cylinder valve slow- ly a fraction of a turn. When the cylinder pressure gauge pointer stops moving, open the valve fully.

WARNING

Never stand directly in front of or behind the flow regulator when opening the cylinder valve. Always stand to one side.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.The flow regulator is adjustable. Adjust it to the flow rate recommended for the procedure and process being used before making the weld.
