SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION

Place the welder where clean cooling air can freely cir- culate in and out through the rear louvers. Dirt, dust or any foreign material that can be drawn into the welder should be kept at a minimum. Failure to observe these precautions can result in excessive operating temper- atures and nuisance shut-downs.

An undercarriage, provided on the Ready-Pak w/Cart model, is also available to easily move the the unit. Refer to the Accessories section of this manual.

Do not attempt to lift the power source with an undercarriage attached.

The undercarriage is designed for hand moving only; mechanized movement can lead to personal injury and/or damage to the Precision TIG 185.
