OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS
The following is a check list for operating personnel to follow to insure minimum
system down-time due to improper operation and handling:
1. TOO AVOID severe equipment damage VERIFY that the M-227 is
connected to the correct Input AC power (see section 3.1).
2. Before operating, check all fittings and connectors for proper seating and that
all protective boots are in place. If not properly seated or protected, short
circuits, poor connections or inert gas leaks could occur.
3. The M-227 is intended for typical GTAW gases ONLY. NEVER CONNECT
OXYGEN OR ACETYLENE TO THE M-227.
4. Before operating, insure that all cables are routed or protected in such a way
that they will not be subject to heat, equipment and/or personnel traffic. Insure
that the cables DO NOT come in contact with HOT PIPE.
5. When storing or handling cables, always keep the protective boots and dust
caps on all connectors and fittings until ready to install. A major cause of
downtime in any automatic welding system is improper care and use of cables.
