3.1 Handling and Unpacking the Welder
Since The DT1200i and machines weigh approximately 90 pounds in the shipping carton, no fork
lift or crane is necessary to move the machine. The shipping carton has built-in reinforced
handles to enable two people to easily transport the machine.
Immediately upon receipt of the welder, inspect the shipping box for any damage and notify the
carrier of such damage before accepting delivery. Then inspect
The Studhorse
for damage
which may have occurred in transit. After removing the components from the shipping
container(s), check the container for any loose parts. Remove all packing materials.
Visually check all air passages of power source for any packing materials that may obstruct
airflow through the welder.
If the equipment is not being installed immediately, store it in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area
until installation.
3.2 Selecting a Location
The location of the power source should be carefully selected to ensure satisfactory and
dependable service. Choose a location relatively close to a properly fused source of electrical
power. Use care against toppling over if the machine is placed on a tilted surface or plane.
It is important that the machine be located in an open area where air can circulate freely through
the front and rear openings. If space is at a premium, leave at least 1 foot (300 mm) of clearance
between the rear of the power source and wall or other obstruction.
3.3 Selecting Suitable Supply Cables
The standard power input cable for The DT1200i welder is a high quality #14 Gauge cable that is
12.5 feet long. The secondary cables that connect the Stud gun to the power source vary with
manufacturers, but is normally 1/0 diameter and 8 feet in length. Heavier 2/0 gauge cables can
be used to extend the distance between the machine and work surface. Standard ground cables
are 1/0 in diameter with 25 feet maximum length. Cable lengths can total 50 feet (total primary
length plus total secondary length) using heavier 2/0 cables.
WARNING!
•
Only qualified personnel should perform this installation.
•
Turn the input power off at the disconnect switch or fuse box before working on
The
Studhorse.
•
Do not touch electrically hot parts.
3.4 Connecting input power
The standard factory installed input power cable measures 12 ft. A longer power cable may
have been provided as an option if requested.
