4-6. Connecting To Weld Output Terminals


		Open left side door.
		1	Bracket
		Route cables through bracket.
		2 Positive (+) Weld Output
			Terminal
		3	Negative (−) Weld Output
			Terminal
3		For Stick welding Direct Current
		Electrode Positive (DCEP), con-
		nect work cable to − terminal and
		electrode holder cable to +
	2	terminal.
		For Direct Current Electrode Neg-

		ative		(DCEN), reverse cable
		connections.
		If equipped with optional polarity
		switch,		connect electrode holder
		cable to Electrode (−) terminal and
		work cable to Work (+) terminal.
Left Side		For MIG and FCAW welding with

CV option, connect work cable to (−) terminal and wire feeder cable to (+) terminal
